Look at the picture. Does anyone else have larger space at 6 than 18 between the line/number and the solar panel?
Trying to decide if my panel are not quite in center and if I should return it.

The F7 has a display size of 260 * 260 px and a diameter of of the display of 33.02 mm…
I am afraid I am unable to appreciate the "issue" from the provided photographs, looks perfect to me!! the difference is so small, barely perceptable.
Some folks who buy the Fenix are watchheads (kinda like sneakerheads). The aim isn't to do any training with it or use it for it's intended purpose, but rather just to own something nice, something that…
If you think it's misplaced contact Garmin or your retailer and have it changed
I have. We’re mailing by now. Anyway- I still need to know if there’s any better or everbody’s the same.
Same here. And i think the screen is not physically misplaced. Its a slight layout error in the watchface. I do also have bad layouts in HR frequency widget.
Me too. I haven't noticed until you posted this picture. ;)
If I understand correctly I'm with 4082412 - this is not likely a physical or hardware issue (such as if the solar ring was misshapen) but a rendering of the watch face artifact. Try different watch faces (obviously these are not "watch faces" in the older meaning of the word) to see if it is actually a misalignment of the display in the casing..
All watch faces are aligned to right. Not much, but they ALL are.
Which model is that?
I just took a close look at my 7X and the screen looks properly centered on mine. If it doesn't seem right to you then exchange it

Due to the even number of pixels, it is not possible to center the watch face exactly at 130.5 px because there is a gap between pixels 130 and 131 in the center of the display. The distance between 2 pixels is 33.02mm/260px=0.127mm/px. Therefore, the center of the watch face is always 0.127mm/2=0.063mm outside the exact center of the display.
Furthermore, the pic is zoomed in, and therefore the small difference becomes even more obvious.
EDIT
And of course since this horizontal displacement also occurs in the vertical direction, the resulting deviation from center is sqrt(0.0635mm^2 * 2)=0.09mm.

Your logic makes sense except you say it's not possible to center the screen with the gap between pixels 130 and 131 in the middle, but you don't explain why that's not possible.
Nearly every LCD screen in existence has an even number of pixels, and they don't need to be offset to one side or the other by half a pixel so that a pixel column is centered instead of the gap between pixel columns, so why is this display different? Why does a pixel column need to be in the middle, versus the space between pixels?
