Hi, I’m Britt with Garmin’s Product Support and I wanted to tell you about
some exciting changes available with the latest software update for your Enduro™ 2,
epix™ (Gen 2), fēnix® 7, MARQ® (Gen 2) or tactix® 7 adventure watch
In our last software update video, we covered features including HRV Status,
Training Status 2.0, Training readiness, race widget, cycling ability, HRM confidence,
the new fish activity, full ebike support, reference point, SatIQ,
some user interface improvements and advanced multisport editing in the Garmin Connect™ app
If you have not yet reviewed this video, see the annotation to watch it now
Now let’s dive into what’s new
First, we are covering the new training and health additions, starting with Morning Report
You will automatically receive this update if your watch is paired
to the Garmin Connect™ application, or if you have enabled Wi-Fi® sync
The Morning Report will provide you with a daily summary of helpful information
This includes a Daily Greeting with the time, date and weather
Plus, you can scroll down to access our new training readiness and overnight HRV status cards
Training readiness provides a score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more
While overnight HRV status plays a big part in understanding how your
body is responding to stress, strain or illness,
monitoring it over time will provide you a more accurate status to suit your lifestyle
Other cards available in the Morning Report include Sleep, Body battery,
Step Goal, Weekly Intensity Minutes and Women's Health Tracking, if enabled
To learn more about morning report,
training readiness or HRV status see the links in the description
Next, we will talk about wrist based run power
Run power it is used to provide a reliable way to measure the actual exercise load for your activity
You will be prompted to add the running power data screen when you begin your next run activity
By default, this new running power source will be set to smart mode
Smart mode will automatically switch from using wrist heart
rate to the heart rate strap, when detected
To learn more about running power and its settings, see the links in the description
Along with the wrist-based run power we will now post your running power zones
information into the activity summary after you complete a run activity
The last Training and Health addition is support for heart rate chest strap in yoga,
breathwork and health snapshot
Your watch will automatically look for the previously paired
HRM strap when starting one of these activities
For help pairing your heart rate monitor see the link in the description
The next activity and app additions we will discuss are Anchor, Sail and Sail Race
The Anchor app will allow you to mark the anchor point and set a drift radius
The Sail app provides important information like distance, timer and speed over ground
The Sail Race app includes a regatta timer to prep before
passing the starting line during your next race
We have also included a Tides widget glance to quickly view the high and
low tide information for your current location or a specific set location
In addition to the new boating features, you can now add Backcountry Snowboard
This lets you manually switch between climbing
and descending tracking modes so you can accurately track your statistics
You will also find a new Disc Golf activity to track your distance,
keep track of the time and see when the sun will set
Along with the new activity types there are also a few new features added in this update
These include Grade Adjusted Pace, Next Fork and Auto-Rest for Ultra Run
Grade Adjusted Pace is a running data field that will provide an
estimated flat-land equivalent for your current pace at grade
It is the average pace adjusted by the steepness of the grade and
is a way to better understand pacing over varying terrain
Now, let’s discuss Next Fork
Next Fork is a data field that allows you to see the distance
to the next trail intersection for a nearby trail
It can be added to the map screen of certain outdoor activity profiles
For instructions adding either Grade Adjusted Pace or Next Fork to your watch,
see the Customizing your Data Fields video for your watch
The last new activity & app addition we will cover is Auto-Rest for Ultra Run
During an ultra run activity your watch will automatically
keep track of time spent at an aid station or checkpoint
With Auto-Rest, you won’t need to worry about pausing your run
To enable this feature and learn more about Auto Rest, see the link in the description
The last section we will cover is watch user interface changes
This includes more haptic feedback when using your
finger to scroll up or down with or using radial fields
