    Thanks for this. Looking at getting the Vivoactive 5. I'm hearing some reports of crashing or freezing. Did you or your wife encounter anything like that? As to why this exists, I'm fairly new to Garmin watches (currently wearing a used Fenix 5x Plus that's on its last breath) but the functionality, look and price were all really attractive to me. I'm at the beginning of the use of these types of devices on my health journey and expect I'll upgrade in a few years. For now, this looks great to me.

    Interesting. For some time, my Skydio2+ has been exhibiting a similar, somewhat erratic behaviour, which it didn't used to do. When tracking me from behind, it'll fly kind of sideways/diagonally, not centering me in the frame, and on curves, making very jerky movements, sometimes failing to turn to follow me, and flying straight until I disappear from the frame, and then jerkily rectifying. It's making most of my footage unusable, I don't know what the deal is but each update seems to make it worse

    Saw a lot of comment here comparing Garmin to Coros. Not sure about the watch capabilities as I only own Decathlon KIPRUN GPS 500 (it’s a Coros first model) after several years using Fenix 3, the most differences I can say it’s the ecosystem. I’m started using AllTrails app few months ago and it’s only supported Garmin. That’s the pain in the ass since I can’t seem to sync my hike to the app and loose the capability to verify my hike (from the list of mountains there). So it’s all go back to what you need and what you use it for. I’m definitely changing back to Garmin as I’m doing more hike now, just contemplating to choose either this new 165 or Instinct 2 Solar

I managed to find a 265 on sale just before Christmas for $399 and since my old 245 was on it's last legs, I bought the 265. Had I known the FORERUNNER 165 at $249 was coming , I would have waited and bought it instead. I think the 165 is a great deal for all but the very serious racer, a bargain at $249, and should expand sales for Garmin.

The so-called overview hides important information behind clicks (show all is on the upper right, hard to reach one handed) or horizontal swipes. The old UX having a more compact list to scroll through was way more informative than big tiles with mainly black background and smaller font (not to disturb the blackness I suppose). Summarizing less information and most of it is hidden behind different user interactions. Has anyone started an online petition yet?
