is there any insight as to when this will be available for purchase on the garmin site? It said 2-3 weeks then 1-3 days now 2-3 weeks again. I’m getting impatient but have to order through the site!

Plenty of reasons to get it directly through Garmin - no middle man to deal with if there's an issue, corporate fitness programs may require direct purchases, etc.
And I'm guessing this is why Garmin is stocking their own website last. If they can sell every watch that rolls off the line at full retail right now through other channels they will probably wait until…
Why do you have to order through the Garmin site? So many other retailers sell it - why wait!
It wasn’t allowing me to respond before. Yes I have a discount on their site which is greater than other sites.
corporate fitness programs may require direct purchases
Yeah, this one. My corporate gym offers a 35% discount on Garmin devices so that's several hundred off.
And I'm guessing this is why Garmin is stocking their own website last. If they can sell every watch that rolls off the line at full retail right now through other channels they will probably wait until they have a surplus before selling them off their own site where they know thousands will be bought at discount. Frustrating? Yes, but I guess that's the cost of getting the discount.
Understood it’s not as much the waiting as the constant misinformation. I talked to customer service a few weeks ago and they told me it would be available the next week. Cool. Then pushed back. Then moved up. Then pushed back. That’s extremely annoying.
As of yesterday it said 4-7 days and I thought “finally!” And today it says 2-3 weeks again. I’m so disheartened. It seems extremely unprofessional to keep changing the availability date. Is this how garmin does business normally? This will be my first garmin and it’s not leaving me feeling well which is disappointing.
