Wrist gesture is slow. No apps/watchfaces installed except stock ones. Is this normal?

Nice!  Yeah, it's better.  About half the time.

Also, I would like you to try it during an activity... see if it's different.  

Thank you for your help 

Anytime!  Enjoy the new watch!

Just got the epix pro 51 mm directly from garmin germany and same problem on the 51 mm device. Idk where the problem is and why only me experience that but i will return both and get a fenix pro.

Just wondering, is there a store over there where you can go inside and test watches?  It would be interesting to see if the 47mm version does that too.  

This is not a common issue, otherwise there would be tons of threads on this already.  Very strange.  Maybe something different in the European models vs the USA models?

So after further testing I can say its just this exact watchface. Idk the name of it (please watch the video) but it's just that. When I use a different one no problem.

Maybe someone can check that? Maybe someone from garmin?

No probl with my epix pro 51mm, v13.22 and that Garmin watchface.

What datafields do you have? Ive battery, steps, date, bb, sun rise, temp minmax, temp, baro.

I tried yours now (it was one too many to add). Still fast I think.
