- Garmin begins his beta update cycle for the Garmin 3 instinct
- Among 30 updates are eight new features
- These features include rucking, passenger and garmin connect + codes
Garmin begins to deploy updates for the new Garmin Instinct 3. Updates, currently in beta version, include 22 minor modifications, fixes, updates and eight new features, including support for the new Garmin Connect + Premium service.
The new features of Garmin Instinct 3, currently available only for members of the Garmin’s beta public program as a beta 9.07 version, will be deployed to all the watches once the tests are finished. Although there are 30 updates in total, the eight new important features are listed below:
- Garmin Connect + Support
- Rucking training profile
- Pack weight option added to the Rucking profile
- Password management
- Respiratory variations
- Daily suggested training sessions added to the driving application for solar energy / instinct
- Morning report entertainment
- Additional locations in the weather widget
The rest of the modifications are corrective to various bugs and preventing potential collisions. On the eight significant changes above, the password is important, allowing you to lock your watch for more security, and rucking is an excellent training profile for those looking to make their hikes more difficult by adding a weighted backpack. The weight feature of the pack is a nice touch, allowing you to follow your improvements by weight in addition to the distance.
We previously pointed out on Garmin Adding Rucking, and we were slightly surprised that it did not come as part of instinct 3 at launch, because this big watch is tailor -made for rough trails. However, it can simply not be ready, or the weight functionality of the pack may have created additional complications when designing the training profile.
However, the care of Garmin Connect +, the new Premium subscription service from Garmin, should have a somewhat mixed reception, at the very least, while the other features should be welcome modifications for the instinct owners 3. If you follow the launch of the premium level, you will know that Garmin Connect + has been welcomed with a huge counterpou. readers.
The main concerns of users concern the relatively basic and useless AI consulting service, active intelligence and the risk of new future features placed behind the GC + Paywall. Users strongly consider having to pay additional monthly costs to make the most of Garmin, even after buying a expensive watch.
However, fortunately, there was no mention of any of the new features listed above being locked behind Garmin Connect +, which is excellent news for the Ruckers and those who wish to protect their watches with an access code.
