Will the Epix series get an UI update to the fenix 8 style?

From what I can see, the only two bugs you have mentioned are rain interfering with the touchscreen and something about the optical HR reader. Rain interfering with touchscreens is an issue with every touch screen in the world and is not a bug. If you want to avoid it, turn off the touchscreen. RTFM. The optical HR reader works great for me and I suspect for most other people. Having said that, optical HR readers are going to behave differently for different people. Again, that is just the nature of the hardware. If you want to avoid any issues with your optical HR reader, wear a chest strap, like all serious athletes do when they want to accurately measure their heart rate.

The old watches are not dead just because Garmin has introduced a new watch with different features. Talk about the sky is falling. Garmin will continue to issue updates for the Epix just like they have for previous models of Fenix. In fact, Garmin's dedication to releasing firmware updates for older models is probably second to none in the industry.

Enjoy your watch. If you don't like it, sell it and buy a different one. Try to find one that costs $100, has no bugs, no missing features, no issues of any kind and for which software updates are issued daily even years after the model has been discontinued. Those are usually the best value, I have found.

But for goodness sake, stop whining.

Sell your watch for EUR 400,- and buy a Amazefit T-Rex 3 for EUR 300,- and you have EUR 100,- over and you can enjoy it!

Yeahh the Epix Gen 2 it's very laggy even compared with the Forerunner 965 ( it's a little much better ) I cannot understand why

I newer told you to install unofficial software.
I advised you to install previous official version which worked for you and somebody from here could share with you.
If you say, I don't wont because I don't trust it - ok fine for me.
But after that you say, I don't want older version because some issue I faced on it were fixed in new SW version.
Dude, make your mind and decide what you want.

And stop talking how much you payed, obviously it was a lot for you and "maybe you were forced to sell your kidney", maybe first you should make your budget review and judge are you afford yourself to buy it.

So again my question to you:

Isn't it my right to get a working product from Garmin? As far as I understand you you're telling me that I have to live with a product with a broken software that makes my watchs sports functions mostly useless?

Is that right?

If yes are you from Garmin, do you have relatives working for them, do you own Garmin stocks or are you somehow involved into their business?

You’ve been fooled like me, real turd. They replaced the epix Pro mount 3 times, it did not change anything, sell it at a loss is the best solution. Anyway, they are useless, all the data is false.

The development won't really stop. But they will just keep mantaining what is already implemented.

I'm not related to Garmin except I'm using their products since 2016.
Never had issues you described , I had use Fenix from model 3 to model 7.
Now I use Descent MK3I and shave no issues with it.

I never told you that you should accept faulty device you obviously have.
And regarding this, my question is: did you ever contact Garmin support and report all issues you have?
Did you continue to report these issues to Garmin support?
Did they offer you replacement?
Od instead of take this in your hands and do something you will continue to complain over Internet.
I guarantee you, for sure it will not solve your problem.

And to close this pointless discussion below my example.
In the past I had issues with HRM=Pro PLUS, and in one call, support offered me new device.

I have contacted Garmin support quite often. I have supported them multiple times with logs and access to my data. I have spent a lot of hours with fully resetting my watch as recommended by them. Didn't work.

What I got from Garmin was

- denying a lot the problems

- never got any information or updates especially on the data I have giving them access to

- they never offered me a replacement

So, I tried to take this in my hands as you said but Garmin support is no help at all. The problems I solved I have solved on my own.

Mightbe it's only the support in Germany, but so many times I have contacted them and didn't get any help it's just a horrible support.

I've tried to contact them again via their web contact form on 28th of August. Everything I got was the automatically email that they've received it. Up to now no answer.

Best thing I got was the official confirmation that there are a lot of software issues but they couldn't and didn't want to tell me if and when those software issues will be resolved.

Problem is that I've not bought it with Garmin and they don't want to replace it. But the shop is not responsible for software issues and it's hard to prove those. Only way to solve this is that Garmin is going to update their software and solves all that severe software issues.

And as long they don't do that or offer me another solution I will go on complaining so that other people are warned not to buy a garmin device.
