I need at least 8 fields of data, in addition to the time & date.

You would think that getting watch faces with 8 data fields will not be a problem. WRONG!

Ironically BOTH watch faces are from the SAME Russian developer. You can, however, pay him (donations) via services of an intermediary (reseller) via PayPal or Stripe. That is good to know.

But, I am NOT getting carried away. I did install this watch face last week — & lost my color customization after 24 hours. So, I have got my fingers crossed. I still have my old face. So, I can always go back.

Torn As To Whether I Will Get The Newly Released ‘Garmin’ ‘Fenix 8’. I Probably Will — But In 7 Months.

There is NOTHING compelling in the Fenix 8 from my perspective. I will not use my watch to make/take phone calls.

My 2-year old EPIX Gen 2 (touch wood) is working OK.

My biggest HESITATION is the time it takes me to CUSTOMIZE a new Garmin exactly to my needs. That can take days! And I don’t have the time.

So, that is my excuse.

I will have finished my NEXT book by March/April next year. I will then REWARD myself (as I like to do) with a Fenix 8. Makes sense to me. SMILE.
