Hello Fenix 6 customers,

The latest Fenix 6 beta software is now available for your upcoming adventures! One note about this update specifically:

  • We have bumped the version number of the current beta update for the Fenix 6 series to match the version number that MARQ is using. This will make it easier for us to distribute the files. It is okay that your device is skipping from 6.10 to 7.77, this is intentional. 7.77 is the first update since 6.10.

GPS changes from 2.80 to 4.01: Improve total distance computation in ultratrac mode for cycling activities.

Please ensure that you are downloading the correct beta software for your specific device.
