The Garmin Fenix 7 has received a public beta update that introduces several enhancements and fixes, but with a notable caveat. This update, version 16.16, includes improvements to heart rate monitoring accuracy, particularly during swimming, and addresses issues with map display, ensuring that maps now load correctly. However, installing this beta version will disable the ECG app, a crucial health feature, until Garmin releases a subsequent update to re-enable it. Users interested in testing the new features must weigh the benefits of the update against the temporary loss of the ECG functionality.
