Just a theory, but...history is repeating somehow..

The Fenix 6 Is working great.

Every piece of electronics out there have some sort of issues.

I come from a Samsung wereable and it was useless for fitness. It was just a toy with fancy lights. 

I be been looking to get a watch for months and honestly i  don't think there is anything better than the fenix 6 at the moment.

Every Garmin watch has been said to be "plagued" with bugs and quirks, even though it's never been a majority consensus on any of their devices. I don't think you'll see anyone buying Garmin soon. 

I think people should not buy Garmin if they cannot afford it or bare technologies glitches. 

Even Ferrari cars have problems and go for repairs but they are excellent manufactured products

Bugs happen occasionally but nowhere near as often or as bad as some of the hysterical outbursts and tantrums that some people would have you believe. I'm too occupied swimming, cycling and running with mine to give much credence to most of the outbursts and toxic comments that seem to be the order of the day now. 

Most everything is instantly reported as a 'bug' now when more often than not it is a user's lack of knowledge that is the problem.

And before I get blasted by the hysterical few, I do accept that some people do have genuine problems that need resolution by Garmin. However, that is not the same as saying that every user has the same problem. I also believe that Garmin do a good job in resolving the problems that genuinely exist.

I was in Best Buy today, buying a new tablet and I noticed that they had only 3 Gàrmin's on display. I asked the salesman about it and he said that they were not selling them like they used to. Take it for what it is worth.

Not a lot. But then my opinion is probably worth even less.

So much this, and the rest of what you wrote.

HR "problems" seem to be the biggie right now but I'm getting pretty jaded when many users are clearly not wearing their watch where Garmin recommends. Of course that's going to result in bad HR data - and probably bad HRV data! With those driving most of the metrics Garmin Connect presents, that's going to impact the whole user experience.

Third-party software issues are the other one and I'm right with you on your comments in that thread. No matter how well coded third-party apps and watch-faces are, there's no way they can ever get the level of testing of stock software. (disclosure: I used the Barcode Wallet widget which is static and hasn't caused any issues across several devices)

We are not. Fitbit's history is in no way indicative of Garmin's future.

I would consider Best Buy's sales performance for Garmin devices as having limited usefulness outside of Best Buy. I would consider the opinion of a random Best Buy employee regarding anecdotal sales performance as having even less usefulness.

O.K And that is your opinion. Garmin used to have many watches on display at Best Buy. They don't anymore. I saw it myself,so I value my experience over your opinion as far as usefulness goes.
