I didn't have an embargo time; just today's date. So I went ahead with the post, since those publications made it available to the world. Just to be clear; I didn't! That simply just your interpretation of my post!
I don't think the bezel in the 42 model is 'virtual'. It's just underneath the curved glass (numbers will be visible when the display is off).
I was waiting the release of the Gen 4 to choose between this model and the Garmin Epix 2 Sapphire . After seeing the irrelevant news regarding my Gen 3, I have decided to buy the garmin and wait the Gen 5.
Same here hermano ! Epix is actually coming tomorrow ;-). also with the Venu 2 Plus to compare both...
Pretty underwhelming in terms of new features, but I'm happy that the straps will be interchangeable between G3 and G4. Interesting that it appears that TH removed all the G3 straps for the time being.
I plan to keep my Connected E3 for the time being. I want to see what the new Google Wear OS 3 will offer. Maybe that can help justify the purchase.
