Garmin Issues Beta Update Fixing HRM Connection Issues on Fenix 7 and Fenix 7 Pro
Garmin has published a new beta update for the Fenix 7 and Fenix 7 Pro, addressing System Software 2 issues that previously broke compatibility with HRM accessories. The company now also warns that System Software 20.16 breaks compatibility with HRM accessories in some instances, prompting the release of Beta Version 20.19 to fix the issue. Garmin claims that Beta Version 20.19 should resolve crashes that occur during activities, but the company is still investigating an issue preventing external sensors from auto-connecting.
