Nice backhand.
You should read my recent Garmin posts more often, apparently.
I didn't quote you for a reason, I thought your answer made sense. The other argument I did have a problem with "open water GPS is hard" and "Fenix isn't designed for it" I do have a problem with. "Yes, that's why they cost so much" and "Garmin doesn't admit that"
I've read your reviews, even the negative ones. That doesn't change the fact that when you went from a reviewing what you personally purchased (in store, commercially available) to reviewing what Garmin went you, that changes things. The product experience you get and especially the customer service you get is often (I know, not always, I read that review too) fundamentally different.
Note, that's not a negative as it's completely normal in online reviews, and there is no doubt you made the right decision as readers love a review of a product that's just been announced. My wife reviews products too.
And no, Im not jealous about pre-release items personally. My 410 offers more capability than I honestly use, so I could upgrade a few generations before feeling hurt that Ray has the 1010xt or whatever.
Bottom line, you were right, try it yourself.
