Garminhas made a new version of the software for one of thebest Garmin watches– definitely the most popular among younger users – the Garmin Instinct 2 and Instinct 2S, available to download on its website. While a lot of the changes are simple bug fixes, Instinct 2 owners do also get some substantial new features. Version 10.05 adds “Surf, Windsurf and Kiteboard” modes, according to the update’s release notes, published over at the Garmin forums.
[Garmin also recently applied some updates to its Fenix 7, Enduro 2 and Epix (Gen 2) watches]
This means it’s not automatically available to those who have signed up for the Beta Program either. You need to manually download the file, connect your watch to your laptop/PC and drag the update file over to the watch manually. There’s a full “read me” guide with each download available at the Garmin Forums. As this is an Alpha release, it may introduce some stability issues that won’t be present in the final release.
