Garmin is seemingly on a roll the past 7-10 days, with having released the much anticipated firmware bringing all the new Fenix 7 Pro & Epix Pro features to the non-Pro editions, via a new public beta firmware update. This follows the big Forerunner 255/955 update early last week, then the even bigger Instinct 2 series update late last week. I’d say maybe we’ll even get a Venu 2 update on Sunday, but then that’d be just crazy talk.
This update adds in virtually all of the new software features launched last month on the Epix Pro and Fenix 7 Pro series, which Garmin said at the time they expect to remain largely identical for the time being. Certainly, the Pro versions have newer hardware (notably a much different optical HR sensor), so at some point those will diverge, but for now they remain all linked together.
In fact, with this update we even get some new features not previously launched on the Pro editions, including the new ‘Workouts’ app seen just announced on the FR255/955, as well as the new ‘Gaming’ profile. Plus now getting Backup & Restore and a bunch of other items
With that, here’s all the newness arriving in this update to the Fenix 7 & Epix units (this beta also includes the Pro units too, since there’s a few new features there as well).

Finally inline skating !!!! YES
Yes, for soccer finally being added. Love all the sport activities being added. That's a win
Hey, a bit off topic but still related: do you have any info when / if the map portion of the weather widget will be available for the Edge x40 series (1040…) – thank you!
Maybe a coincidence, my HRV went extremely low since updated to 14.23 Beta version 3 days ago.
Hello, do you think or have information if the climbpro freeride function will also be implemented on fenix/955/965 devices or cmq all that generation of devices?
Can please anyone send a link for a "GameOn" app for PC needed by garmin to sync with pc? Thanks in advance O:)
Thanks for the content, does this apply to the Enduro 2? Thanks in advance
We know the realesed day of the official update?
After this update, is the Fenix 7 the same as the Pro versions in terms of its software features?
What about Enduro 2?
Thing looks like something from a Happy Meal 🤡
Is any of this coming to Instinct 2/2x?
Nacho cheese eating 🤣🤣🤣 GREAT video as always! 👍👍
I was waiting for this 🙂
and really Nacho cheese eating as a profile? 😂😂😂
Thank you for the detailed summary Ray!
What about the enduro 2. Is it getting anything?
Nacho Cheese Eating for the win, that's dinner tonight sorted, Thanks 🙂
When you show new sport profiles, I always pauses to look for mine 'active rest day' activity; skip rope and I have still found it, then again if it too them this long to include football and ice hokey I might be in for a wait. BTW is Nacho Cheese Eating a joke…
Great, that multisport support should be available anytime, not only during race in our calendars, but it’s heading the right direction😄 oh, and almost forgot, those pace/HR/whateverthegoal alerts during run is super annoying sometimes, is there any option to turn those off in this beta build?
And also thanks a lot for great video again! 👌🏽💯🔥
Are these updates also for the Enduro 2?
37) Inline Skating is a ‘no’ this time.
Investigate your strap material chemical composition. It causes rashes or contact dermatitis on so many people.
Never had this issue with Withings silicone straps, even after weeks of constant wear.
I'm using 955, with 15.19 version and can't see "Hill Endurance"…
This is not a review. It's a commercial.
But this new software still has the Software Version 13.22 – Backlight Bug… Your backlight always turn on when viewing maps. No way to turn it off.
SO excited for native data/maps screen. ive been waiting for that for years
I wonder how endurance and VO2Max effect Nacho Cheese Eating….
So they added "Nacho Cheese Eeating" but I still do not see "Fencing", that is embarrassing!
