(Image source: Garmin)<\/p>\n<p>Garmin has delivered a new update for one of its latest smartwatches. While a beta update for now, the new features it contains should soon be repackaged as part of a stable release that takes in other recent beta development too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The company has been busy working towards issuing a substantial stable update over on its Beta Program, though. In fact, v15.xx beta development has been underway for almost a month at this point after the introduction of Beta 15.05 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Garmin-releases-major-new-update-to-high-end-smartwatch-showcasing-new-watch-faces-and-other-improvements.1125307.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">at the end of September<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Now the company has moved onto Beta 15.10, which it appears to have restricted to a manual installation for the time being. As a result, one must navigate through Main menu, Settings, System and then Software Update on a Beta Program-enrolled Venu X1 before tapping &#8216;Check For Updates&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Once Beta 15.10 has been downloaded and installed, the Venu X1 should have access to three new watch faces. Additionally, Garmin claims to have added a glance that tracks health data changes and overall wellbeing. Moreover, the Venu X1 can finally be powered down without needing to enter a passcode beforehand. On top of that, Garmin states that Beta 15.10 includes the following bug fixes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fixes an issue that could cause a voice note to be replayed at half speed<\/li>\n<li>Fixes an issue that could cause the device to reboot when receiving multiple smart notifications in a row<\/li>\n<li>Fixes an issue that could cause the notification number on the watch face to be incorrect<\/li>\n<li>Fixes an issue that could cause the speaker to be muted or for the device to reboot after attempting to answer a phone call while playing music through the speakers<\/li>\n<li>Fixes an issue that could result in the evening report not displaying at the proper time<\/li>\n<li>Reduces click sound at the beginning of a voice note<\/li>\n<li>Various bug fixes and improvements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=278\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/csm_alex_alderson_photo_98f8faaa46.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Alex Alderson\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=278\" class=\"j_name\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Alderson<\/a> &#8211; Senior Tech Writer  &#8211; 13452 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2018<\/p>\n<p>Prior to writing and translating for Notebookcheck, I worked for various companies including Apple and Neowin.
