I have noticed, too, that some reviewers, notably DC Rainmaker, who is like "the big dog" when it comes to the space, tends to criticize Amazfit rather harshly - justifiably so in many cases, I am not going to deny that - but does not treat Garmin to the same standard when they release unfinished pr

I really feel Garmin referring to the F8P as a device with InReach technology is somewhat misleading. For me, Garmin InReach (such as a GPSMAP H1 Plus) and Skylo (I.e the F8P) are not the same thing. No F8P bashing here btw; I have one myself and love it.

I have the brightness set to the lowest setting, ‘always on’ set to off, and the auto brightness seems to be doing a good job, even in the moderate brightness of today. I believe the pro version has slightly higher brightness output than the standard F8 I

I guess the new Index Sleep Monitor is the first thing that resembles a screen-less Garmin, coupled with the health logging, albeit only for sleep officially. I moved to iPhone from Samsung at the beginning of the year and I really struggled to decide on the F8P or the AWU3 and it came some to cutti
