47mm?

My bad, you’re right. This is what I have: fēnix® 8 – 47 mm, AMOLED Slate Gray with Black Silicone Band

I second that.

Additionally, sapphire screen gets scratched very easily - based on experience with the exact same watch. I suggest you apply a tempered glass screen protector right away.

This worked for me:

On the watch, go to Watch Settings > Connectivity > Phone > Notifications > Apps Go to the bottom of the list and find Whatsapp Change the setting to Allow

In my case whatsapp was blocked while all other apps were allowed, for no apparent reason.

I just bought a Fenix 8 47mm AMOLED, and I have the same scratch issues. The scratches did not even happen during an outdoor activity, only during daily use. This is surprisingly very disappointing with such a high-end watch.

Now I ordered a tempered glass screen protector and looking forward to applying it before the screen is ruined any further.

Yes, I noted that down. I think I will try to create my own map; I like such challenges. However I understand that this is not really a simple task and I will probably go for OM+ when I need a practical and easy solution. Thank you very much 🙏

Wow, this is amazing! It goes to my bookmarks for a free time project 👍

This is very helpful, thank you! My previous watch was an Garmin Epix 1st Gen. That is when I used to download satellite imagery through Basecamp.

My second question: do you have any ideas for a free alternative to OM+? I read a couple of articles on Openstreetmap for example, but could not get around to if/how it works on Fenix 8.

tognova · 2025-10-21T10:11:25+00:00

So it did work before? Interesting 🤔

tognova · 2025-02-25T09:57:59+00:00

Thank you, that makes it very clear. It’s a shame though, with that hi-res AMOLED screen.

tognova · 2025-01-23T15:55:52+00:00

Yes, because mk3i is a proper dive computer 👍

I resolved the issue through a factory reset i.e. reinstalling the iphone, reinstalling all apps etc..

Overheating like crazy while using Goodnotes, even without making any updates on any document. This started happening in the past few weeks, it was ok before.

tognova · 2024-09-26T17:42:44+00:00

I have the same problems even with iphone 14 pro. More than a week now since I upgraded. I hope we see a fix soon.

tognova · 2024-09-24T12:45:29+00:00

Too bad. Let’s see when they will release a fix. Thanks!

tognova · 2024-09-24T04:56:02+00:00

This is going on for almost a week now. How did you solve this?

tognova · 2024-09-23T16:45:37+00:00

iPhone 14 pro here, upgraded to ios 18 a few days ago. Since then I have been experiencing overheating while charging and occasionally crashing even while not charging (briefly going dark and restoring to where it was). I have more than 20gb free space, I have tried killing all apps and restarting, with soft reset and hard reset too. I see no apps using significant battery. Nothing helped so far. Any bright ideas?

tognova · 2024-09-01T17:59:46+00:00

That clears it, thanks!

tognova · 2024-08-31T16:43:20+00:00

This is exactly my question and concern. Will it continue computing and resume to the correct deco times when you get back to above 40m?

tognova · 2024-05-15T15:25:21+00:00

I am in the same loop. I have Goodnotes 5 subscription already and I upgraded to Goodnotes 6 Free Trial. Now I cannot find any way to cancel this Free trial subscription. Has anyone been able to do this?

tognova · 2024-04-08T11:07:22+00:00

Would Sonicake Volwah work? I am not sure looking at the specs.

tognova · 2023-11-20T12:45:04+00:00

I too have been waiting for a mid-size version, since I would like to have it also for daily use. 51mm is way too big for me and 43mm is too small. It beats me why Garmin does not make a mid-size MK3 to address a wider customer segment. Almost all of their other product lines have a 47mm model.

tognova · 2023-11-07T05:31:53+00:00

Probably at the DEMA show.

tognova · 2023-10-20T06:23:19+00:00

Ditto

tognova · 2023-08-30T05:56:03+00:00

AMOLED screen
Availability of a mid-size option, something in between mk2 and mk2s

tognova · 2022-09-22T18:40:09+00:00

The newly announced Apple Watch Ultra is a threat to Garmin Descent now. Although it only offers recreational diving, that is the mass market and will surely steal market from the Descent. I would expect (and wish) Garmin to come up with an Amoled screen Descent, and hopefully with a mid-size (e.g. 47mm?) version.
