Garmin has released a new update to its Forerunner smartwatch suite. The update, which is now available globally, focuses on improving heart rate zone functionality on all currently supported models. The new update also promises to improve the notification glance feature on the Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 965.

Garmin has quickly turned around a new update for various Forerunner smartwatches, shortly after finalising Software Version 22.12 for the same devices. To recap, the recent stable update brought several bug fixes to the Forerunner 165 and Forerunner 965 (curr. $594.99 on Amazon), among others. Software Version 22.12 also promised to make Run Coach and Cycling Coach improvements, full details of which we have covered separately.

This time, Garmin has jumped ahead to v22.14, which is currently restricted to its Beta Program. Unfortunately, there is currently no indication when this new build will transition from beta to stable status. The fact that Beta Version 22.12 quickly reached stable status implies that its successor will receive the same treatment, though.

The Forerunner 165, Forerunner 255, Forerunner 265, Forerunner 955 and Forerunner 965 have all received the same two bug fixes, which focus on resolving heart rate (HR) zone issues. On the one hand, Beta Version 22.14 contains a fix for a bug that could potentially cause a crash when editing HR zones. On the other hand, the same update is said to resolve separate issues that resulted in the wrong time from showing or even the wrong HR zones altogether.

The changelogs for all five smartwatches also list “various bug fixes and improvements,” although no further information is provided. Additionally, Garmin has released a separate bug fix for the Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 965, which occasionally resulted in missing application icons in the notification list. Please note that this improvement does not extend to the Forerunner 255 or Forerunner 955, nor does it extend to the newer Forerunner 165.
