my simple points about most of them
1. Garmin has already indicated Fenix9 is coming out by end of 2026 instead of 2027 which will push all prices down since better features/software on Fenix9 - check sites like GarminRumors .com for news
2. Never buy a Garmin over $500, as soon as factory refurbs are available from customer returns, they are "like new" and sometimes HALF the price, eventually
3. I've owned Garmin for two decades now, there has been a SERIOUS degrading of quality in their support, hardware and especially software since 2020, IMHO there is no Garmin worth over $500 anymore because of actual competition from other brands finally after all these years
personally I'm looking to exit the Garmin universe after all these years,
too many bugs and lack of features

Like someone else said if you think the price is too much just wait for the next version to come out and then prices will drop.

I don't understand why the higher in price you go, the less features and updates you have.
Like you have more features in a lower level (epic) than the Fenix and then less still in the Marq(?) series.
I just like the GPS features for vehicle driving (off road and motorcycle). Just hiking also, no running or diving.
