I like my OG instinct well enough, but I also don't ask much of it. The Fenix 8 is pretty pricey though, pretty bullshit that they're neglecting the firmware.
I've had a handful of their watches in this line but this is the first time I was waiting for/excited about the new model and jumped at launch.
Like, out of the box no audio apps I use were available because apparently Garmin doesn't release the SDK unti launch day. Just crazy... Live and learn I guess.
