This software update aims to address several bug fixes and improve the overall performance of these smartwatches.
One of the notable issues that the Beta Version 12.24 update tackles is related to CIQ (Connect IQ) data fields.

However, with this new update, Garmin has resolved this problem, ensuring a smoother and more stable experience for users.
In addition to the CIQ data field fix, Garmin has also worked on addressing various issues related to Cycling data fields. Although the company has not provided specific details regarding the nature of these issues, it is clear that Garmin is actively working to enhance the performance and reliability of their smartwatches for cycling enthusiasts.
For those who own the Garmin Instinct Crossover, the Beta update v12.24 brings a fix specifically related to watch face data fields. Unfortunately, Garmin has not disclosed the specifics of this fix. Nonetheless, this update ensures that users of the Instinct Crossover model will have a more seamless and trouble-free experience when using watch face data fields.
It is worth noting that the Beta Version 12.24 update is a Public Beta release, meaning that it will be automatically pushed to smartwatches enrolled in the Garmin Beta Program. Users who wish to benefit from this update should ensure that they have the latest secure_config file installed on their watches before proceeding with the installation. The software for each model can be downloaded from the Garmin website.
The release of the Beta Version 12.24 update follows closely on the heels of the v12.23 update, which also focused on resolving bugs and improving the user experience for Instinct 2 smartwatches. The previous update addressed issues with glances, activity history, and the Virtual Run activity. The current v12.24 update is currently being rolled out to 20% of eligible smartwatches at the time of writing.
