YD over 5 years ago

Ive been trying to get the ABC to show in widgets but it seems to be missing or I'm stupid enough to not see where it is

This is on the product page

This is a poor decision by Garmin, on multiple levels. This ABC widget is widely available to use on other lesser watches (including the Fenix 5 and 5 plus), and I’ve noticed that the same restriction…

I’m sorry, would you mind taking a picture? I apologize for asking. Just always been a feature I wished the Fenix 5 watches had.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have made a ticket for this and waiting to hear back.

YD, after looking into this, it turns out the ABC widget is intentionally not added to the MARQ Aviator. Instead, the MARQ Aviator has a dedicated aviation altimeter page, as well as the HSI Compass (Horizontal Situation Indicator Compass) the other MARQs lack. This is the case with all Garmin aviation watches.

Maybe remove the ABC images from your product page then.

I don't understand this..I am glad there are individual widgets, but combined would be nice..I know that D2 watches do not have this widget either..

This is a poor decision by Garmin, on multiple levels. This ABC widget is widely available to use on other lesser watches (including the Fenix 5 and 5 plus), and I’ve noticed that the same restriction appears on the Garmin ‘Tides’ widget — available for the Fenix 5/5 plus, but only available for the MARQ captain and designated “incompatible” with the MARQ aviator. You cannot expect customers to pay >2x the money for exclusivity, only to restrict the MARQ model from widgets/features that appear to be freely available for older/lesser Garmin watches. That is a sure fire way to alienate your loyal fan base (who is also likely the base spending the most money as customers).

Does anyone’s ABC widget actually look like the one in the advertisement? I have an Expedition and mine doesn’t show the red section and it doesn’t show the deviation and it only shows 3 data fields.

Oh, yes I tried that and now it looks like the add. Thanks so much!
