The device's wrist-based running dynamics function and the algorithm for calculating calorie burn for swimmers have both been improved by the upgrade. Issues have also been rectified, such as inaccurate distance calculations in exercises. The Forerunner 255 Music smartwatch now includes Garmin's Beta 15.09 software. The Forerunner 255 Music model is the only one that can presently receive the upgrade, according to the manufacturer, as it requires OTA installation, a function that is exclusive to this model of the wristwatch. This was a pre-rollout release, according to Garmin, indicating that it will soon be available for the other watch models.

Using this tool, you can measure stride length, vertical oscillation, and cadence without using a heart rate chest strap or a Garmin Running Dynamics Pod. Additional new features include advice for workouts related to cycling, calorie estimation during swimming using wrist-measured heart rate, and assistance for sleep routines.
