Nap tracking migrates over from the Venu 3
Garmin is rolling out Public Beta Version 17.18 for several Forerunner smartwatches that introduce a variety of new features and tweaks.
The patch will be available on the Forerunner 255 and 955 from 2022 as well as the Forerunner 265 and 965 from this year. The main update, as pointed out by Gadgets & Wearables, is the addition of nap tracking. As the name suggests, this function allows smartwatches to make note of your daytime sleeping habits. It’ll even recommend the best time for a quick snooze and for how long you should sleep.
Naps, according to the company, can be actually beneficial to your health plus they can lift your overall mood. This feature first appeared on the Venu 3. Since then, it’s made its way to other lines like the Fenix 7 series. Unlike the Venu 3, the Forerunners didn’t receive Sleep Coach which would’ve given “personalized sleep advice” to you.For your eyes only
Next, people who own either a Forerunner 265 or 965 will be able to activate Red Shift mode to fill a watch face with more reddish hues.
