If you’re part of Garmin’s Public Beta program and own a Vivoactive 5, there’s a fresh update waiting for you — and it’s more than just a round of bug fixes.
The Beta 15.05 release fine-tunes performance, smooths out a few quirks, and makes your day-to-day use a little more seamless.
How to Get Garmin Vivoactive 5 Beta 15.05 Update
Updating is easy. On your Vivoactive 5, head to:
Main Menu → Settings → System → Software Update
What’s Changed in Beta 15.05
- Breathwork Audio Fix – That occasional glitch in breathwork activity audio? Gone. Now you can focus on your breathing without tech distractions.
- Golf Course Downloads – Downloaded golf courses now work as intended, so you can keep your swing and your tech in sync.
- Breathing Variations – Subtle improvements here make guided breathing sessions feel smoother and more natural.
- Device Passcode Updates – Small refinements to keep your device security both reliable and convenient.
- Golf Auto-Shot Reliability – Fixed a rare issue where Auto-Shot could just… stop mid-round. No more missed strokes (at least on the watch’s end).
- Wheelchair Pushes in Swim Activities – A quirky bug where wheelchair pushes counted during swims has been squashed.
- Easycard Icon Restored – If you noticed the Easycard icon missing, it’s back where it belongs.
Why It Matters
This isn’t a flashy, headline-grabbing feature drop — it’s the kind of under-the-hood work that keeps your watch running like it should.
Whether you’re meditating, golfing, or swimming, these refinements remove small but frustrating hiccups from your day.
If you come across any new issues after updating, Garmin wants to hear from you. You can report bugs in the Bug Reports section or chat with other beta users in the Community Discussion area.
