Garmin Fenix 9 Bugs and Solar Showdown

Owners have reported 94 bugs in the Garmin Fenix 9 and 9 Pro, including navigation crashes, battery drain, and missed pool lengths. Seven of these issues have been fixed. The5kRunner questions if this is acceptable for a $1000 watch.

In a solar showdown, the Amazfit T-Rex Dual Solar and Garmin Fenix 9 Pro Solar take different approaches to powering their displays. Garmin uses a dim MIP screen to make its solar charging effective, while Amazfit keeps a bright AMOLED but pays for it with limited solar charging and a smaller battery.
