[BUG] Jittery in breath animation in Breathwork activity in 15.31

I've reported this issue 5 months ago and back then the ticket was created, but it wasn't resolved in Beta, and we didn't get the update since then.

So I'm posting it here in hope to get attention. Just check the video to see how animation is jittery on new Fenix 8 and how smooth on old Fenix 6, it's quite annoying especially in activity like breathwork...

Below I'll post the URLs for threads with the reports. Can we please have an update about this bug?

  • I see the exact same Breathwork animation bug on Forerunner 955 (Software Version Bundle 26.08).  (Works smoothly on Forerunner 645M and Vivoactive 4.)   I posted a description (with link to this post) in the Forerunner 955 forum, on the chance there's a totally different Garmin software team looking at those discussions.
    "To lower your stress, relax, focus and breathe while you watch this animation" has got to be one of the most unfortunate places to have a jittery animation!
