Garmin\u2019s table shows which of the new features are available on which smartwatches. Probably the most exciting new feature is the improved voice control, which can be activated with the voice command “OK Garmin” to, for example, start an activity. To access the voice assistant on the connected smartphone instead, you can use the voice command “Phone Assistant.” <\/p>\n

The Garmin Venu 4 ($495 on Amazon<\/a>) features fall detection and can automatically call for help. A feature called “Quick Workout” creates a workout recommendation simply by specifying the desired duration and intensity. The update also introduces new Garmin Coach plans and an \u201cXC Ski Indoor\u201d workout, while a configured diving setup can now be shared with compatible dive computers via Garmin Share. With this update, Garmin Edge bike computers gain the ability to automatically detect and count laps.
