Fenix 8

I thought the fitbit air and Google health had shitloads of problems, then I bought a Garmin fenix 8 and oh boy... Is the app even worse and the watch itself Um not to sure I like it... (they serve different purposes to me but compete for wrist time). All my apple watch friends complain about them a

Well, I have a partial list: - watch face delay when swiping up for glances - map render speed even with all layers turned off - stuttering with swiping glances - current bug where I change the display mode to always on/off is not reflected in focus modes (devs aware) - random restarts while switch

The start of the Fenix 8 was garbage. No water because it just went out. No alarm clock worked. Garmin didn't just go broken off, etc. List was long and patience asked as with every new model at Garmin.
