Please note that Garmin does not offer beta updates to either the Marq Aviator Gen 2 or the Tactix 7. Also, the company stresses that only 25% of eligible smartwatches have received an automatic notification to download the new update.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Thus, it may take a few more days before Beta Version 25.10 reaches your Fenix 7, Fenix 7 Pro or associated smartwatch, even if it is already linked with Garmin&#8217;s Beta Program. Incidentally, more beta builds are set to follow before v25.xx development transitions to Garmin&#8217;s stable software branch. In a forum post, Garmin clarifies that Beta Version 25.10 resolves an issue that prevented a smartwatch from reconnecting to a password-protected Wi-Fi network, which community members had flagged since around Beta Version 25.03.<\/p>\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; 14000 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.
