Garmin, the renowned tech company, has recently rolled out updates for its Fenix 8 model to address a GPS issue. Additionally, the Fenix 7 Pro and Epix Pro Gen 2 in Europe now support electrocardiogram (ECG) features. However, some users of the Fenix 7 series are expressing concerns that their devices are being left behind by Garmin’s update schedule, especially when compared to newer models like the Forerunner series. This disparity in updates has sparked discontent among users, with some feeling that the premium smartwatch offerings are being neglected. An online thread on the Garmin subreddit titled “Garmin abandoned Fenix 7 Pro after 1.5 years” has garnered significant attention, highlighting the frustration among users. The post discusses the unequal distribution of software updates across Garmin’s product line, with cheaper models receiving more new features compared to the higher-end Fenix series. This disparity has left users questioning Garmin’s software support and approach to new features.
