Garmin, the global leader in GPS technology, has released a new beta build, version 12.15, for the Instinct 2 series to resolve several system instability issues. The company has acknowledged that the previous beta builds, 12.13 and 12.14, caused several issues, including rapid battery drain, frequent GCM disconnects, and broken wellness data tracking. The issues were so severe that Garmin had to pull both updates.
Garmin has been working on the Instinct 2 series to develop a new stable update by regularly releasing beta builds. The company has been building on the first beta build, version 12.09, since it released its last stable update, firmware version 11.18. However, the previous beta builds caused significant issues that affected the performance and usability of the Instinct 2 series.
The latest beta build, version 12.15, is designed to address these issues, and Garmin recommends updating to this version if you have experienced problems with the previous beta builds. However, the company warns that updating to version 12.15 will remove all Connect IQ content, although it can be easily redownloaded once the update process is complete.
Garmin also reports that the latest beta build fixes issues with racket sport data fields and the HIIT custom timer number picker. The company has provided more details about the changes in its blog post.
Garmin plans to include several changes in the next stable firmware update for the Instinct 2 series. These changes include adding an obstacle course racing activity, improving the algorithm for calculating calories burned in swim activities, and improving voice prompts played during activities. The update will also fix several issues, including the abnormal high heart rate alert, the track run alert distance, the fish activity location, and the workout interval timer time.
Garmin is committed to providing the best possible user experience for its customers, and it continues to work on improving the performance and functionality of the Instinct 2 series. The company has a dedicated team of experts who are constantly developing new features and fixing issues to ensure that its products meet the needs of its customers.

The watch also has a rugged and durable design that can withstand harsh conditions, making it an ideal choice for outdoor activities.
In conclusion, Garmin's latest beta build, version 12.15, for the Instinct 2 series is designed to address several system instability issues that arose in the previous beta builds.
