Put more app memory into newer model watches

Garmin Developers,

It seems as if you forgot to add enough memory to some of your new watch releases!  

The Descent G1 has significantly less available app memory than the previous release, the Descent Mk has.  (131k vs 98k, source https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/reference-guides/devices-reference )   

While I commend you on releasing the Instinct watch with ConnectIQ capabilities, it supports LESS app memory than your Golfing Watches, the Approach 60 and Approach 62 watches!  

Please!  If you're gonna release more watches with this little memory available to apps, please just make them connectIQ incompatible.  It's easier explaining to customers the watch is incompatible, than having to tell them that a "NEW" watch has essentially the same amount of memory as 2016 era watches :((((((((

- a loyal customer and developer

    haha... definitely better to be given an opportunity to do something that may be difficult!  

    I have adapted my program to work on the Instinct 2, and am super excited about it, just a tad frustrated, mainly at myself haha, that I wasn't able to make the app with all the capabilities fit into a smaller memory footprint...  hence I was directing my frustration at others instead of no one like I should have.

    I'm sorry for the negativity/unprofessionalism I shared earlier.  thanks for the good reply
