Garmin releases major new update to mid-range smartwatches with activity and workout improvements – Notebookcheck

Garmin has finalised a new stable update for five of its older mid-range smartwatches. To recap, almost four months have passed since the company issued Software Version 27.09 to the Forerunner 165, Forerunner 255, Forerunner 265, Forerunner 955 and Forerunner 965 (curr. $599 on Amazon).
In the intervening period, Garmin delivered a solitary v28.xx beta update called Beta Version 28.03. Nonetheless, it has now pushed ahead with the release of Software Version 28.05 globally. According to Garmin, Software Version 28.05 comes with up to 10 changes.
However, this is only true for the Forerunner 955 and Forerunner 965. By contrast, the Forerunner 255 and Forerunner 265 benefit from 8 changes, with the Forerunner 165 dropping further to 7 changes from Software Version 27.09. However, all are said to have received activity and workout improvements.
Currently, Garmin reports that Software Version 28.05 should have reached around 20% of eligible smartwatches. This percentage should change in the coming days, though. The changelogs for Software Version 28.05 are as follows:
All Forerunner x55 and x65 smartwatches:
Forerunner 955 & Forerunner 965 specific
Forerunner 255, Forerunner 265, Forerunner 955 & Forerunner 965 specific
Garmin (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
