After the initial release I had read on the various Garmin subreddits (/r/garmin, /r/garminwatches, /r/garminfenix) that people were ordering 2 watches at the same time to compare sizes or compare Fenix vs Epix and plan on returning one after they've made up their mind.  I'm fine with that until I have to wait 2 months to get my one of them.  Is Garmin limiting these window shopper orders to just one?

    another one (later mentions they didn't technically "buy" both yet because they're returning the one they don't like.)  Actually 3 people talking about doing it (search for return in the page)

    more people here

    another

    basically google inurl:garmin site:reddit.com "return"

    I'm all for the ability to do this but with low/no inventories anywhere due to covid supply chain problems, the Chinese New Year likely stalling anything getting made... try-and-return is a practice that goes against society when you can't get things as is.

    I mean, I would like to try these things on or see one physically and see what I like better but the Best Buy near me has like 4 Garmin watches to their name right now- let alone a Fenix.

    I wish the Garmin website also had pixel perfect - actual size pictures or stencils (example from f5 online manual of a stencil) so I can cut them out and look at them on my wrist or have a hand model try wear each one in the same spot to see how they compare.  At best, I see reviewers strap 3 sizes up and down the same arm which does not make them look different sizes.

    It also frustrated me seeing so many gripes about screens and whatnot.  I dunno.  It feels like a situation right now where some manufacturers should put 1 per person limits on new items and put a restocking fee on returns from people who buy more than one variant (f7/f7s/f7x/Epix).  My sister will order a bunch of shoes to try on and return all of them.  That's a wasteful practice right now.
