No Beta Enroll Option for APAC Epix 2

I was able to use my APAC version Epix 2 with the massive alpha update, but now as the latest firmware moves into the beta stage, I was happy to see some of the bugs I experienced was fixed, but I find no ways to get into the beta program, as no option is shown for Epix 2 under my device settings page. Just a line saying "Software is up to date — Version 9.22".

Could Garmin add these devices to the beta eligible list, or still release the manual update files as a backup?

That’s because you aren’t meant to install the alphas being on apac.

Hope they fix it. Seem not fair for other epix user. They should make the update accessible to other and make us choose to install it or not.

For previous Garmin devices, alpha/beta firmware won't even install on APAC variants. However that's not the case with Fenix 7 and its siblings. Previous models also have different languages and fonts between ROW and APAC, which has changed.

It just doesn't make sense that alpha can be installed on these devices, while beta cannot.
