Features on some Garmin smartwatches have been updated, including skin temperature and nap detection

Today, Garmin released new software and feature updates for a number of smartwatches, such as the Venu 3 series, Forerunner series, fēnix 7 series, Enduro 2, epix (Gen 2) series, and more. These new features can 'help customers know their bodies better and take their training to the next level,' the smartwatch specialist continues.

This free software release has some noteworthy features, such as:

Nap Detection: Automatically record or monitor naps to discover their potential health benefits as well as the ideal timing and length.

Skin Temperature: Use a wristwatch to track the average skin temperature as you go to sleep. This information can be used to determine how recently you have exercised, your sleeping environment, potential medical conditions, and more.

Enhancements to Body Battery Energy Monitoring: Receive more information and individualized perspectives on how stress, sleep, naps, and daily activities affect energy levels; additionally, receive a daily summary every night that summarizes energy use during the day.

Wrist-based Running Dynamics: To improve your running form, measure running metrics like ground contact time, stride length, and cadence.

Wrist-based Running Power: Adjust training to match the amount of power the body is putting out during a run by managing effort.

Enhance My Ski Activity: To obtain a more accurate recording of metrics like heart rate, activity time, and elevation, record an entire activity continuously, even when using a chairlift and during downhill runs.

Smart Notification Images: As of right now, owners of compatible Android smartphones can see the photos sent to them right on the watch screen.

Face It Improvements: Use the Face It feature in the Connect IQ app to add more data to customizable analog or digital watch faces.

On devices that are compatible, the software updates have begun to roll out. Consumers can use Garmin Express or enable automatic updates from their device and synchronize it with Garmin Connect to update their smartwatch.
