Restore Fenix 8 from Epix 2 backup?

Is it possible to configure a new Fenix 8 watch by restoring from an Epix 2 backup? Or do you have to configure the new watch from scratch?

Hello Chris

Currently the option to BackUp/Restore from your current device to the new Fenix 8 is not an option. So you will need to manually setup the new device.

What about training level, VO2max etc., i.e. everything related to DSW, which prepares you for competitions? Are we starting from scratch too, or will it be pulled from Garmin Connect?

Mierzej87 do you have i.e. VO2max level on fenix 8 just after upgrade or you need to start 'from the beginning' due to lack of data on the new watch? For example pace on DSW is related to VO2max.

I assume that races from the calendar were synced.

VO2Max, Endurance Score, Hill Score, Training Status are available on Fenix 8. There is no Training Readiness and HRV. But... the data is consolidated in Garmin Connect, so it gets DSW within Garmin Coach. However, the Garmin Coach e-jidget on Fenix 8 is broken and does not sync with the watch. So I do workouts with DSW. The watch assigns them to Garmin Coach.

Does anyone know, if the new firmware 11.60 adds the restore from backup feature to the F8 ?
