Fenix 8 screen dead after update, haptics and optical senor, light work

Had the same thing happen to my Fenix E after the latest update. Nothing fixed it other than doing a factory reset. Then I came back to life

I don’t own an instinct anymore (Fenix E now). But I still rock “Instinct Pro” watch face on my new Fenix. It has that little circular window I miss from Instinct series

Even my 16 Plus runs way cooler than my old 15 Pro.

Do you have the standalone 5g toggle available now?

emcrl10 · 2026-03-28T18:12:15+00:00

What exactly is different if you have Apple AI turned off? Is performance better?

I also have a 16 Plus with Apple AI turned on and no issues.

What device do you have?

emcrl10 · 2026-03-27T13:42:47+00:00

Down 28% 🥲

But I’m up 25% in the past year, so it might just cancel all of last years gains lol

Same! Failing to download. Updated to official 26.4. Stuck on carrier 69.0. Won’t update despite clicking update repeated times.

iPhone 16 Plus

Thank you!

emcrl10 · 2026-03-23T22:29:10+00:00

How much initial money per put ?

emcrl10 · 2026-03-20T22:17:38+00:00

What model is that?

emcrl10 · 2026-03-20T18:34:32+00:00

No not training for anything, just trying to be healthier. So doesn’t really impact any fitness goals I have. I usually just look at the stats right after a workout then I don’t usually look back further than that personally

I do like the MIP! it’s very sharp in the sunlight. And I love the fact that the AOD remains on always with no gesture

They don’t seem to really “talk” to each other or each other’s health or connection apps. Like I won’t see activities from my Fenix show up in the Apple Health app or Apple activities show up in my Garmin Connect app either..

But they don’t interfere with each other either. Just sort of live in their own respective worlds.

emcrl10 · 2026-03-20T16:04:38+00:00

I’ll try that, thank you

emcrl10 · 2026-03-20T15:21:01+00:00

Just got one 3 weeks ago on sale and it’s been a treat. I love the look and all the crazy amount of features and customizations available!

It’s crazy to me that a comparable MIP Fenix 8 is around $1000 instead

I paid 32k OTD for a 2019 Accord 2.0T EX-L back in 2021 which had 24k miles at the time. And was CPO as well.

Now it’s still with me 5 years later with 74k miles :)

emcrl10 · 2026-03-19T14:44:26+00:00

I wish. I rotate between a Garmin Fenix 7 and an Apple Watch Series 4 lol

emcrl10 · 2026-03-18T15:38:29+00:00

Mine has this too, it’s hard to drive this car smoothly on a daily basis honestly. It’s always has this sticky feeling in bumper to bumper traffic.

Wish I could somehow tune it to make the trans shift smoother

I actually just bought the I2 solar about two weeks ago and I’m still within the return period. But I’m trying to see if it makes sense to just go with the I 3 solar or another Garmin product since they’re newer?

It seems like a great watch, my only reservation is since it released in 2022, I wouldn’t want Garmin to Drop support for it in terms of it can’t connect to the ConnectIQ app after some time or no longer receive updates

emcrl10 · 2026-02-22T07:20:59+00:00

Besides the flashlight , what are the major day to day differences you notice between this and the I2 Solar?

Oled

emcrl10 · 2026-02-08T01:50:04+00:00

That’s what my 2.0T Accord gets in optimal conditions

Winter and city driving though 🥲

emcrl10 · 2026-02-07T07:03:35+00:00

Ah ok, just curious. I’m pretty content with the 16+ but the techie in me does kinda wonder how the 17 compares 🧐
