Having been unveiled at the end of August in tandem, the Fenix E, Garmin Fenix 8, and Enduro 3 have had a mixed start. Leaving aside the choice to replace some of its smartwatches for outdoor activity with AMOLED screens, numerous forum posts claimed that Garmin had issued all three with problematic launch software. In order to achieve this, Garmin has been packing beta releases full of problem patches.
On the other hand, the initial stable versions made little tweaks here and there with their change logs, failing to solve every issue that was being discussed online. To put it briefly, since the Enduro 3, Fenix E, and Garmin Fenix 8 (buy it now at $1,099.99 on Amazon) were released, a long list of faults has been reported, but Garmin has not officially addressed them. But this is essentially confirmed by the comprehensive changelog that comes with System Software 11.89.

The changelog for System Software 11.89, which is shown below, is approximately fifty lines long, eleven of which are devoted to new features. For instance, voice commands are now available for adjusting display brightness, while AMOLED models lacking solar charging capabilities can now utilize Solar watch face patterns. Furthermore, nearly as many “improvements” have been made, which are claimed to address a variety of topics, such as decreasing power consumption on the map page and improving the responsiveness of the user interface compared to previous builds.
However, System Software 11.89 also brings about thirty-one problem fixes, all of which are listed in the forum posts that accompany the software and which we have replicated below. The Enduro 3, Fenix E, and Garmin Fenix 8 are said to have received System Software 11.89, which has been “completely released,” by Garmin. You can start the download of System Software 11.89 by going to Menu, System and Software Update, and then selecting ‘Check For Updates,’ even though the firm has not yet released any additional information regarding the update’s worldwide deployment.
