Will F5 support unicode notification?

What I hate about the 5s is that I like it in black, but that implies sapphire, which in turn gratuitously adds another $100 to the "modest" price. Sigh.

The 12gb seems to be about the 5x (not the 5/5s) due to the maps. (they can take a bunch of space!)

From the CIQ side, all 3 watches look similar to the Fenix Chronos - CIQ 2.x.x and more memory for watch-apps and Df's (the 5s,5,and 5x were added as new targets in the SDK that came out when the new watches were announced) The 5x does have more memory available for CIQ apps than the 5 and 5s though. on the 5, a watch-app can be 122k, while on a 5x, it can be up to 1274k, for example.

Thanks for pointing this out. App size won't indicate anything about supporting characters, I think.
Actually I cannot understand why Garmin choose not to support other languages although they can technically.

One very good reason may be that Garmin do not want to encourage cross-territory sales.

By this I mean that if, for instance, sales to Chinese-speaking countries were done through a local Garmin distributor/affiliate. This affiliate would be responsible for the sales and support of products in that region and would also be allowed, to some extent, to set pricing in that region. If the watches sold in that region had Chinese language support and were priced higher than watches sold in other regions, then it would undercut the local affiliate if Garmin were to make Chinese language capability available in other (cheaper) regions. Consumers would buy cheaper watches out of region and the local affiliate would realize no profit.

I know that Japanese language capable Garmin devices are available only in Japan through the local Garmin affiliate at Japanese prices - Chinese language capable devices most probably follow the same pattern.

HTH

If it is really so, I will certainly not upgrade my F3 to F5 as this is almost the only thing bothering me.
