On the menu for this update, new functions related to Garmin health status. Inaugurated last year, this function allows you to check your state of health every day, taking into account several variables. However, until now it was only possible to view the day's health status on your watch. From now on, the update will also allow access to the history of health statuses.

The update will also allow watches to be put into “recovery mode” to save data in the event of a breakdown. It must be said that the brand's toquants have experienced some problems in recent months.

New products for golf and cycling

On the activities side, the June 2026 update focuses on golf with two new features. Thus, advanced golf-related functions are extended to more watches, including the Garmin Venu 4, Vivoactive 6 and D2 Mach Air X15, provided you take out a specific subscription. Furthermore, Garmin announces the compatibility of its watches with the new Approach CT1 sensor to attach to the top of its golf clubs to analyze its shots.

As for GPS bike computers in the Garmin Edge range, the June update will introduce two new features: equipment tracking and compatibility with the Bosch Smart System for electric bikes.

Concretely, equipment monitoring will allow you to consult, directly on the counter, the number of kilometers driven with a chain, cassette or tires in order to have an overview of their lifespan. Already announced last month, the partnership with Bosch will allow you to benefit from Bosch data and connected functions directly on Garmin meters.

In detail, here are the different watches and counters that will be able to benefit from the new features of the June 2026 update:

The blue dots represent the new features and the black ones represent the models which already benefited from these functions before the update.

The new Garmin functions should gradually be rolled out to all users over the coming weeks.
