[Firmware ChangeLog]: What's New in 22.37 Beta | Tactix 8 AMOLED/Solar

Software Versions After Updating

ECG and Dive Feature Note

Garmin's announcement says ECG and Dive features are disabled on Fenix 8 series beta software during this part of the Public Beta cycle. If you rely on those features, Garmin recommends staying on live software rather than installing the beta.

Garmin also says these features remain available on live software for compatible watches and are expected to return in beta software closer to a live release candidate.

Why This Update Matters

Golf Activity Stability

The golf crash fix is the most visible change for Tactix 8 users who use the watch for rounds, scoring, shot tracking, or course data. A crash during a golf activity can interrupt both the activity file and the round workflow.

Dive Data Reliability

The dive depth fix addresses a scenario where depth could automatically return to 0 after maximum depth. For users testing beta software around dive-related workflows, that is a high-impact correction.

Battery Drain Fix

Garmin specifically calls out possible Tactix 8 battery drain. If your watch lost battery faster than expected on 22.35 beta, 22.37 is the version to test next.

Should You Install 22.37 Beta?

Install it if your Tactix 8 AMOLED or Solar is already enrolled in the Public Beta Program and you want the latest golf, dive, and battery fixes. Wait for stable software if you depend on ECG or Dive availability, or if you do not want the normal risk that comes with beta firmware.

How to Get the Update

For enrolled Public Beta users:

1. Keep the Tactix 8 paired with Garmin Connect Mobile or connected to Wi-Fi
2. Open the watch System settings
3. Select Software Update
4. Install Beta Version 22.37 when offered

Only devices enrolled in Garmin's Public Beta Program will receive this beta update.
