Garmin Update Brings New Passcode Feature to More Smartwatch Users
A stable version of Garmin software version 13.17 has been released for Venu 3 and vivoactive 5 smartwatches. This release brings a new passcode feature, more accurate Body Battery scores and support for a recent accessory. However, it is worth noting that multiple users have flagged issues after installing the update.
- The push to include more advanced security features in wearable devices like Garmin's smartwatches signals an evolving trend towards enhanced user control over personal data and identity.
- As the number of connected wearables continues to grow, how will manufacturers balance the need for increased security with the potential risks of overly restrictive features that could limit user experience?
