Garminjust can’t help themselves these days. After launching theGarmin Fenix 7 Proand Epix Pro wearables, the company today announced a new update coming to many of thebest Garmin watches, including theGarmin Enduro 2,Garmin Epix Gen 2, Fenix 7 series, Forerunner series, Instinct 2 series and MARQ (Gen 2) models. That’s a lot of watches!

One of the new features introduced to the above watches is Wrist-Based Running Dynamics, which we first saw included on theGarmin Forerunner 965. This measures running dynamics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and more right from the wrist without any app or accessory.

You also get Load Ratio to track short-term to mid-term load ratio to “help stay in shape and avoid setbacks,” Garmin explains. A new Obstacle Racing Activity has also been added to the ever-expanding list of workout modes on Garmin wearables. The new mode tracks run time, number of obstacles, heart rate and more during obstacle course events and records split times between running and obstacle sections while racing.

The company has also improved acclimation measurements and recommendations, which now you can watch as a percentage and receive insights on how the body is reacting to the current elevation.

It’s not justApple that started paying more attention to cyclists. The new Garmin software update includes targeted adaptive coaching for cycling. You can now receive an entire week of daily suggested cycling workouts directly on a compatible smartwatch (when paired with a compatible power meter). Plus, the workouts adapt to match your performance and the demands of upcoming events that are added to their Garmin Connect calendar.
