On Aug 12, 2022, Garmin released a new Beta 9.31 update for Garmin Fenix 7/Epix 2/Quatix 7. This is the latest Garmin software update for Fenix 7/Epix 2/Quatix 7 watches. Beta 9.31 wasn’t a major update, just a fix for some issues.
a Short reminder
This update is in the Beta version, so if you decide to update to the Beta version, keep in mind that you may encounter various bugs you can report here. Therefore, if you are not inclined to try incomplete products, you can wait for the official version of Garmin software.
- Alpha Garmin software: This is an incomplete software version, which can only be written to the watch manually. This version usually has the most bugs and inaccuracies. There is a tutorial on how to install it.
- Beta Garmin software: This software version is still in an unfinished form. However, it should be more stable than the Alpha version and can be saved to the watch by connecting to the Garmin Beta software program. There is a tutorial on how to install it.
- Official Garmin software: This is the most stable and reliable version of Garmin software, which updates automatically on watches. Of course, if you are in Auto Update mode on the watch.
But if you are already participating in the Garmin Beta program, I suggest installing Garmin Beta 9.31, because it solves a lot of existing and potential software issues.
If you’re not yet a participant, but want to participate in the Garmin Beta program, here’s a step-by-step article on how to do it.
