Why there's no Tactix 8 47mm MIP Sapphire Solar?

Since there is a F8 solar 47mm, it would have been easy. But I guess there are not enough potential buyers according to their sales dept.

But I agree, it would have been nice!

Agreed. The 47mm Garmin watches are more widely adopted than the 51mm models. Considering the Tactix is a tactical product line, it makes more sense to use a MIP Sapphire Solar display rather than an AMOLED. Although the screen size is the same on both the Tactix 8 47mm and 51mm models, the bulky case of the 51mm version isn't well-suited for small to medium wrist sizes.

I think they should still issue a 47mm Enduro and Tactix. Since most of the smaller companies are abandoning MIPS in favor of AMOLED, it would be easy for Garmin to corner this (small/tiny?) segment of the market without much effort. The hardware and the sw exist. And while I like the AMOLED display of my F8 (47mm) and my Epix Pro (51mm), I use my Tactix 7 still quite often.
