I think the next Fenix series could be a much bigger upgrade than the last few generations, especially if Garmin finally starts using some of the technology from its newer patents The most interesting one is Garmin’s patent US20250134464A1 for pressure compensation in wrist-based pulse sp

As someone who's owned a Fenix 3, 5, 6, 7, Tactix 7, Forerunner 735XT, 955, and now has spent time with both the Forerunner 970 and Tactix 8 AMOLED (which I ended up keeping because I've worn a 51mm Garmin for years), I think Reddit tends to overstate the downsides of AMOLED.
