Tactix 8 is out..

Doesn't look any different than the last one.

True...but I dig the watch face on the AMOLED version

Looks like none of them list the Nylon band as 'In the box'... another downgrade. 

Seems like yet another case of more money for less product  good job Garmin. Following the Apple model to the core 

Charging 1400€ for a plastic watch. I can understand when the entry models ven or forerunner are plastic, but the higher tier and such expensive garmin wacthes should be metal, entirely.

Garmin, how about leaving out the titanium parts, but making the entire watch out of metal metal instead? Titanium on plastic is not very premium. And it looks stupid. You can get full metal android smartwatches for a fraction of the price, why can garmin not do it, except for the ultra super premium marq? Just ordinary stainless steel would suffice. 

Apart from that there's still this large blank space between display and bezel, which also devalues the watch. Disappointing.

Exactly,rather have my Fenix 8.Much better looking watch.

Well said. garmin take note
