Ah, thank you, shame they haven’t done it for  all their watches. 
I do understand the issues that may be raised with connectivity to a PC but think that wireless has to be the way ahead.

Hi,

I'm not a fan of wireless charging, because it's not efficient and need more power than a wired solution.

I'm a fan of magnetic charger, but it wasn't push to any other models since Marq Gen2 (which is a standard Epix 2, not Pro iteration).

For me the Marq Gen 2 magnetic solution is just fine, it provides an accurate an reliable connection and maintains PC connectivity. Wireless solutions are not truly wireless as there is still a cable from the power source to the induction platform.

Only garmin knows for sure, none of us here would.  But with upcoming premium (Epix 3/Fenix 8) watches, I'd be surprised if they didn't do this.  There aren't many new "wow" tech (like multiband GPS) since the last watches to include on the next ones  I think they would/should definitely tick this box off.  I mean, this is the year 2024.

Everyone has their own preferences, but I wouldn't buy a watch with only wireless charging. I use the watch on multi-day backpacking hikes, and wireless charging pucks are way too big and heavy, compared to regular plugs.

I wouldn't mind a more secure charging connector, though.
