With the exception of the FR945, all the Fenix 6 series today received a BETA update that you can now try at your own risk following the instructions in the links further below.
The heat acclimation capability has been available since launch (more details) and the feature makes adjustments like VO2max correction, although note your body (and the algorithms) will likely take 4 or more days until full acclimation. Also of interest is the addition of dual ANT+/BLE broadcasting of optical HR.
- What’s new: What’s new here is the ability to add the acclimation info as a widget and, with the new widget glances, I reckon these are implemented now in a much-improved manner.
- What’s new: Despite some limitations it’s now possible to broadcast your HR from the FEnix 6 over either Bluetooth SMART or ANT+. More info on dcrainmaker.com
