When the watch face dims, the time is unreadable.
When the watch face dims, it is 100% unreadable. Sadly, this hasn't been fixed, likely because it will effect the advertised battery life. Whatever the case, there is no one who has been able to read my watch, myself included, without having to bring it right up to your eyes, like someone suffering from blindness. My old Fenix 4, which this one replaced, is easily readable. Garmin, you have 24 days left to fix this or it's getting returned.

Challenging set up
I just spent 3 hours trying to get this watch set up. Online instructions have not been helpful. Not happy with watch faces - unable to figure out how to change or modify data fields. Cannot sync with Garmin bike radar.
