But people can sue you for that, AI can't.

Well, yes. How do you think he became the lead of DOGE? With the help of a random number generator?

There are no browsers with jxl support and won't be for many years to come.

As far as I know he owns his house and he lives in the UK, so yeah, he's quite well off if you look at his wealth.

Do you really think that Sweden, Germany and UK is all the world there is? I've got a surprise for you.

It's YOUR country. If you can't fix it, then you're complicit.

one model for everything would be quite expensive though given all the extra sensors, better displays, solar charging and stuff the higher end ones have yeah?

That's the problem with Garmin - it won't be more expensive. If we ignore optional gimmicks like solar charging, then there are no real hardware differences between VivoActive 5 and Fenix 8 apart from the barometer, which was present in even cheaper VivoActive 3. Depth sensor, for example, is just a software feature of a barometer (you need to calculate depth and altitude differently from the same data).

Garmin is selling software features packaged as different hardware SKUs and charging up to 4x more depending on a feature set. Their product range is extremely large with multiple product families divided into multiple physical products, which all are essentially the same piece of hardware. And today their range is actually more streamlined than it was before.

This is a stark contrast to Apple, for example, where you have one bloody watch and that's it. Yes, you have different physical sizes to fit different people, you have different materials and finishes to choose from, but when you're buying an iWatch you're getting all the features no matter which screen size and arm band you choose.

Garmin should realistically only have two lines of watches - base model which has everything Fenix 8 has for £250-300 to compete with iWatch and advanced model with solar and other gimmicks no one cares about for £650-800 to compete with iWatch Ultra. That's all.

I don't want them to add anything, I want them to switch from making a thousand models and selling software features as hardware revisions to making one model which can go do everything and to have a proper app store instead of a joke they have right now.

Garmin is being eaten alive by Apple and Samsung, it's their last grasp for some air. They refused to change their business model for a decade and it's a payback time.

That doesn't mean they understand that term.
