Athlete Watch Face - Training Status 'F & L' Indicators?

Anything you see in a marketing photo that is not then seen on the watch itself highly suggests marketing was either using prototype software or was forced to come up with their own representation and then changes were made before the official release.

Thanks Chris, I guessed as much. Though as these seem to be the stock marketing shots used by all retailers, having it show functionality that doesn't actually exist seems like asking for trouble.

Well said. And the same photos also still used in Garmin official website. 

The indicators are also shown in Garmin Connect. I have seen this before, my former Fenix 6X Solar also showed a data field on the watch face (in GC) that did not exist.

This is the sort of thing that gives 'marketing' a bad name, getting caught out selling what they wish they had made rather than what they had.  It's especially galling when the missing features seem pretty easy to implement or changing the photos if it isn't. Usually, company lawyers put a small disclaimer on the photos, saying they may not be true representations, otherwise it's fraud, but even so it's not very reputable.  

i would love to have it like this on my watch.. Even now it only shows (prod.) and not fully spelled out ( productive ) like the image.

Something else I think I've noticed with this same data field - the pointer doesn't seem to give you any more information that the status word that's displayed in the dial (e.g. Productive, Recovery, Maintaining etc). I'd assumed that the position of the pointer on the respective green segment indicated where exactly you were in each zone (e.g. am I maintaining, but close to dropping to Recovery?), but as far as I can see the pointer always just points to the middle of the applicable green sector, not like in the marketing image above where it's at the right-most of the green segment which would be useful in suggesting I was close to over-reaching.

Are other people seeing the same, the pointer always just pointing to the middle of each segment?

Same here, the indicator is always at the same place and thus does not give any additional information.
