When Fenix 8 is being released?

Not so sure investing in Garmin with a new device makes sense at this point.

Software quality seems to be declining (watch firmware and recently the web/app interface). At this point I would not even consider paying a monthly fee to use the Garmin web service anymore (if they would ever want to do that).

Maybe Garmin is on their way out.

I think a good clue will be the release of three consecutive FCC IDs like for F7Pro. But this has not happened yet.

How long before the hardware release were these IDs published?

What's wrong with the web interface and app? In my opinion it surfaces the important information I personally care about in a way that's faster the parse than the old interface. It also bring it into line with modern UIs used by competitors.

Maybe.. or maybe you're a bit of a curmudgeon?

Just a few comments to add some perspective about being in line with modern UIs used by competitors:

- following the pack is not necessarily good (note that I'm not saying it's good or bad in this particular case).

- by and large, in my opinion, modern UIs are over-complicated with multiple layers of menus and unintelligible icons that confuse people, plus irritating popups and useless animations that consume RAM. I miss the days when everything was laid out clearly on one page in plain html with pictures, which is text-searchable and scrollable. You can still select what you want displayed. It can be made just as fast or faster.

Not the issue here, so just a short link: forums.garmin.com/.../how-to-make-the-best-of-the-new-interface

Which brand does the job better though?

I’m STILL using my f3, an update is due soon, I hope.

But if 7 doesn't work either, what should 8 do?
