Race 2

Are you sure about Garmin discontinuing the support for Epix 2? In my understanding they do not offer the new features for ”F7 line-up” buy do bring any essential security updates and bug fixes.

I trusted Amazfit ecosystem during almost 2 years. I was sure that with so much potential, they will ultimately polish the software. But they never answer messages, nor address issues. They think that they just need to attract new customers by flooding the market with new devices... But on the other
