Latest update brings many improvements for Garmin smartwatches
A new stable update for the Enduro 3, Fenix E, and Fenix 8 is being released by Garmin to close out the year. In the past few months, the company has delivered hundreds of bug patches to the three, but it has also discovered a number of other enhancements that have emerged.
The Fenix 8 (now available on Amazon for $999.99) has received a new update from Garmin, which is also being rolled out for the Enduro 3 and Fenix E. Notably, the latest version is now available via Garmin’s official software distribution channel instead of its beta program.
System Software 12.35 should therefore have fewer issues than the most recent beta versions. In light of this, Garmin just released an update for the Fenix 7 and Fenix 7 Pro smartwatches that fixes a previous stable build that was troublesome.

In the same way, System Software 12.35 for the Enduro 3, Fenix E, and Fenix 8 primarily fixes issues in previous software. For example, after transferring settings from a Fenix 7 family smartwatch, alarms should not be set to silent any more.
Additionally, Garmin claims to have resolved problems that hindered the proper display of CIQ watch faces following a device reset. Additionally, System Software 12.35 should not have any missing call alert tones.
Additionally, Garmin’s Workout Execution Score is limited to running and cycling workouts as a result of the recent upgrade. Additionally, by positioning sensors in pairing mode at the top of a search list, Garmin has improved the user experience of its sensor search. For reference, the following is the whole changelog for System Software 12.35 as detailed by Garmin in its forum post:
- Fixed missing tones for phone call alerts.
- Fixed alarms being set to silent after migrating settings from Fenix 7.
- Fixed CIQ app ability to close with Palm Cover.
- Fixed CIQ watch face display issue after device reset.
- Fixed event Countdown icon selection via touch.
- Fixed Fishing timer status toggle.
- Fixed Tides app time-out issue.
- Fixed potential crash when opening Map Manager from Garmin Connect Mobile.
- Fixed potential ConnectIQ application crash.
- Restricted Workout Execution Score to only Running and Cycling workouts.
- Updated sensor search to place sensors in Pairing Mode at the top of the search list.
