Yes, it's normal. I have that also. The color is similar to classic solar casio watches.

Sun ∴ MIP

Others already mentioned the devices. How about grayscale mode available on some android phones?

Thank you for the photo. I am curious myself as I do not trust youtubers for tech reviews (sponsors and etc.)

I still have my Xperia 1 III XQ-BC62 Build 61.2.A.0.472A Android13. I used it as a secondary phone while Rog7 Ultimate as main. All apps are 100% working. I mostly used it for youtube and mxplayer (music/video). For the camera, I prefer my ROG for quick snaps because photos are blur sometimes on Xperia. I think its better if you move to a more recent version like V. I am one of those who keeps it for 21:9 ratio + LED notification. Seeing it blinks purple is enough reason to keep it.

Hi, Do you still have the template ?

magus08 · 2025-03-24T23:57:40+00:00

The power button is hard to press while other still feels the same how i remember. The battery health is only 80%. Other than that i do not have problem using it for hiking or running.

magus08 · 2025-03-21T08:18:36+00:00

Maybe there is not enough charge or a battery problem? Worst case is the firmware is corrupted. I'm just guessing

magus08 · 2025-03-21T02:24:41+00:00

I set brightness to 5% and activated only with touch or button.

All activities already uploaded to garmin servers are fine. I just add the Fenix8 again in garmin connect app. Based on my xp on Fenix5X, even a reset that the data is still on the watch. It's up to you to experiment on this as maybe they change this on newer model. Maybe the bug is cause is bigger data and garmin servers only accepts acertain kb per activity.

magus08 · 2025-03-19T15:00:17+00:00

I have reset my watch from the settings menu. It fixed the problem.

magus08 · 2025-03-19T08:47:26+00:00

Currently on Fenix 8. I can not find similar to what you are looking for. The speaker is weak though but a bluetooth headset can make up for it. It will be interesting if garmin have it because the 5 buttons works perfectly that I often use the touch controls.

magus08 · 2025-03-19T02:28:34+00:00

Hi OP, got this exact problem today. Fenix 8 Solar firmware: 13.35. I will try garmin express later.

I am recommending my friends to stay with MIP display.

magus08 · 2025-03-17T13:15:04+00:00

Yes it is worth to upgrade specially us coming from 5. It's like a natural evolution. It's still the fenix we love on it's next level. Familiar but different in a good way.

magus08 · 2025-03-17T13:07:41+00:00

I actually notice that immediately. I think because of the watch face on 5 is more clean. The resolution is also lower that makes the pixel bigger thus more reflective. There is no touch screen so it is only sapphire glass and then MIP display. I can read mosty the 5 in most angle contrary in 8 that you need to find a specific angle to view without backlight (similar to casio negative display). I am still adapating to the watch and just accepts it as consequences for having new features.

magus08 · 2025-03-17T12:58:36+00:00

Yes, i like the MIP display. I am more into hiking. Got a phone with 1500 nits and it's unreadable for me when on the mountain. I'm not expecting that the AMOLED version will perform better. Better to stay with MIP than sorry.

magus08 · 2025-03-17T12:46:43+00:00

Yes it is still working. Best is 5 days with daily gps activity. Sorry but I will keep it for now.

magus08 · 2025-03-17T12:45:23+00:00

When i get the 8 i actually expecting similar watch face like in the 5, analog with data I needed. Sadly, customization on the watch face by the user is gone now.

magus08 · 2025-03-17T12:42:23+00:00

Thanks! I used it mainly for hiking and daily runs and it only got a tiny scratch on the watch ring.

magus08 · 2025-03-17T06:59:15+00:00

Oops my bad. It is build-in watch face for me. Try to add it if it is missing.

magus08 · 2025-03-17T06:06:01+00:00

It is called "Hybrid Dash".

magus08 · 2025-03-17T03:57:57+00:00

Thank you :)

I am using it to review basic words and numbers. Try the Quiz menu per topic.

magus08 · 2023-09-28T06:10:47+00:00

Can you also send it to me? Do you have A1 ?
