Morning report now removed?

It worked just fine for me! Anyone else have good experiences with it or bad experiences?

Seems weird to me! Morning report coming to I2 is part of how I broke the tie when deciding between it and the Forerunner 255. Joined beta program to get access and have been enjoying it every morning.

I really hope it won't be the same as with the enhanced solar history...

Feels like a product planning decision at the last minute not actually a performance issue, hope I'm wrong (shrug).

That’s what I suspect! Kind of bs as that’s a feature I really enjoyed but I’d be fine if it were replaced with training readiness but we know that won’t happen as it makes the watch on a level of others. I’m rough on watches as I do mechanic work/welding, powerlifting/strong man along with the endurance stuff. I’m not paying a ton of money for a watch that the majority of the extra cost is a bling factor just to beat it up. I’m not knocking the more expensive/better looking watches or those that buy them. I would buy one also if I wasn’t wearing it in such rough settings. Guess we just have to accept it’s all about the money like everything nowadays.

I’d really like to know what “the issue” was. Hopefully it isn’t for the reason I mentioned earlier and they removed it to make improvements then bring it back.

It was mentioned here in community discussion

And reason why looks like it stems from this bug report

Thanks, glad to see others not happy with this decision. If it was that minor it can be fixed or as stated left as is for opt in.

I know this is kind of a basic watch, with not much memory, but damn it would be so good if they provided a good option for those who like nice features but also need a watch that is durable enough for harsh conditions

I don't think there's any need here for such differentiation with features, as people who need durability will buy this anyway and those who like the 255 design more won't even consider this whatever it can do

"In version 11.15, we have made the decision to remove Morning Report and Race Day features. After extensive testing, it was determined that these features did not perform to the level of expectations we were striving for."

In theory, if this function did not live up to expectations, then it should be removed from all watches? Or is it about that it will kill the sales of another watch model, and this does not live up to expectations? It's called double standards, give and take back. But in any case, thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to use this feature at least for a short time, good advertising for new features! It is quite possible that Garmin mistaken and removed this function for further improvement, but we are talking about unjustified hopes and not about what will be finalized;)

And if this error cannot be solved on the watch for good functioning, then why not report it? But since this function worked flawlessly for many, then, based on logic, this error can be solved.

Do your telling me there’s a chance?

I believe in the reputation of Garmin. As for me, Garmin is a serious company where good specialists work! Big companies that respect their users don't announce new features to remove them. This is at least not beautiful and not tactful towards its users. I don't think Garmin would do that.
