Version 17.33 is reaching Garmin’s Venu X1, adding eight features including a golf performance glance, putt marking on Green View maps and support for multiple coordinate-entry formats.
The update also lets the watch connect to $99.99 Approach CT1 Golf Club Trackers, adds quick-access silent mode and swipe-up keyboard layout access, and enables QR-code viewing of Outdoor Maps+ layer descriptions.
Last MOB navigation is included as well, letting users return to a previously marked Man Overboard point.
Garmin said the release is live for about 20% of Venu X1 users so far, with installation available automatically through Garmin Connect Mobile or Garmin Express, or manually from watch settings.
The rollout mirrors version 17.33 updates already announced for other Garmin wearables, including the Forerunner 570, Forerunner 970, Venu 4 and vivoactive 6.
Will Garmin's latest update finally activate the dormant ECG hardware already built into the Forerunner 570 smartwatch?
With new golf and marine features, is Garmin's premium running watch losing its core focus to compete with broader smartwatches?
