Garmin Rolls Out Beta 22.34 to Fenix 8 Globally, Disabling Dive and ECG

Beta Version 22.34 is now reaching eligible Fenix 8-series smartwatches worldwide through Garmin’s Beta Program, and users who have not received it can pull it manually via Software Update.
Garmin says the build delivers only unspecified bug fixes and improvements, while Dive and ECG features remain disabled in the beta release.
Version 22.34 follows beta builds 22.28, 22.29 and 22.32 issued earlier in May, extending a rapid update cycle for the lineup.
That limited change log suggests Garmin may be nearing its first stable v22.xx release, though it is still unclear whether it will arrive before June.
With critical Dive and ECG features disabled in its latest beta, is the Fenix 8 software truly ready for public release?
Why does Garmin's beta disable an ECG feature that its Fenix 8 owner's manual doesn't even mention?
