Garmin has announced a series of new features for its smartwatches, including the Fenix 8, Forerunner, Instinct 3, Lily 2 Active, Venu 3, and more. Some of these features are available for free, while others require a Garmin Connect+ subscription starting at $6.99 per month. The update includes enhancements such as breathing variations for better health monitoring, a rucking activity feature for weighted hiking, pack weight input for various activities, passcode protection, and a stage timer for competitive marksmen. Additionally, two new premium features, Garmin Trails and Garmin Golf Membership, cater to hikers and golfers, respectively. The update is already rolling out to compatible smartwatches, so be sure to enable automatic updates and sync with Garmin Connect to enjoy these enhancements.
