Garmin has opened up access to its smartwatch microphones and speakers for third-party developers, unlocking new possibilities for audio-enabled applications on the company's wearable platform.
Previously, these hardware components were largely reserved for native system utilities, standard phone calls, and onboard voice assistants. By making them accessible to external creators, compatible Garmin watches can now support a wider variety of interactive tools directly from the wrist.
The update is expected to encourage new categories of apps, such as voice-recorded notes, audio messaging, and guided workout tools that leverage real-time sound cues. This expansion helps bridge the functional gap between Garmin's fitness-centric ecosystem and broader smartwatch platforms like Wear OS.
