Hardware is generally great. Software is the sucky part. And I didn’t say device stops working, but Garmin stops providing support for it, as in no software updates or bug fixes. What you buy is what you get. Perhaps first half a year you might get a fix or two if there are serious enough issues. But that’s about it. It might be different since Fenix is their premium line, but with my Forerunner it was as I describe.
