It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'm gonna say they need to circle the wagons and get the ALREADY RELEASED Fenix 8 out of Beta.

Pretty lousy launch/unboxing experience from someone that's been relying on Garmin watches since 2013 (910xt)

Yes, I'm a bit salty right now...

I like my OG instinct well enough, but I also don't ask much of it. The Fenix 8 is pretty pricey though, pretty bullshit that they're neglecting the firmware.

I've had a handful of their watches in this line but this is the first time I was waiting for/excited about the new model and jumped at launch.

Like, out of the box no audio apps I use were available because apparently Garmin doesn't release the SDK unti launch day. Just crazy... Live and learn I guess.

The curse of early adopters.

My Instinct 2 is chefs kiss and I'm gonna wear it until it dissolves off my wrist

I’m going to have heirloom Instinct 2s to pass down to my kids.
