Garmin Venu 4 Gets Stable Update 17.37: Battery Life Fix, Treadmill Calibration, and Golf Reset Bug Patched

Garmin has released stable System Software 17.37 for the Venu 4, rolling out July 17 with targeted bug fixes.

What's Fixed

• Battery drain issue: Addresses a bug causing faster-than-expected battery depletion for some units
• Treadmill calibration failure: Fixes an issue where treadmill distance calibration would fail to save or apply correctly
• Golf activity reset bug: Patches a bug that could reset in-progress golf round data mid-activity

The stable release follows beta version 18.14 from July 14, validating these fixes before the wider rollout.

How to Update

Venu 4 owners can check for the update via Settings > System > Software Update on the watch, or by syncing with the Garmin Connect app. Garmin rolls updates in phases, so it may take a day or two to appear for all users.
