Summary
Software version 9.19 is now available for Garmin’s Forerunner 70 and 170, giving both 2026 running watches a stable update users can manually install.
The release targets a treadmill-workout bug that left the calibration feature not working as expected; Garmin did not specify the cause or the technical fix.
Users can fetch the update through Main Menu > System > Software Update > Check For Updates.
Version 9.19 follows the 9.17 release about a month earlier, which added silent mode and a keyboard-layout shortcut while fixing resets, evening report glitches and Garmin Connect syncing issues.
The latest release appears minor and maintenance-focused, leaving open when Garmin will add broader new features to the two lower-cost models.
