How to Update

The update is available via ‘Check For Updates’ on your watch. Instead of manually loading files, you can download it via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth:
Menu → System → Software Update → Check For Updates

Note: Only devices enrolled in the Public Beta program will receive this update.

Later in the Public Beta cycle, updates will be delivered automatically via GCM/Wi-Fi. Posts will indicate when updates are available OTA (Over The Air).

Reporting Issues

If you encounter a bug, please report it in the Beta Bug Reports forum. The Beta Wiki includes articles on:

• Accessing files on your watch
• Troubleshooting freezes or crashes
• Reporting bugs with the necessary details

ECG and Dive Features

The Beta software for the Fenix 8 series disables ECG and Dive features.

We recommend not participating in the Public Beta program if you want to keep these features. You can backdate to the current Live software if you’ve installed Beta software but need ECG or Dive features.

For ECG: After backdating, you must re-set the ECG feature. Instructions can be found here under “ECG App Setup”.

ECG and Dive features will be re-enabled in Beta versions that are expected to become Live updates, typically toward the end of quarterly Beta cycles. These features will remain available in Live software updates on compatible watches.
