I’m planning to switch from the Fenix 8 AMOLED to the Fenix 8 Solar.

However, after selling my AMOLED, there will be about a 3-day gap before I receive the new Solar device. During that time, I won’t have a Garmin watch to sync with the Connect app.

Will all my existing data (activities, history, etc.) still be safely stored and fully synced when I pair the new device after those 3 days?

Thanks in advance!

I’m using a Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm, and I really like the lap feature during strength training sessions.

However, I’ve been experiencing a very frustrating issue.

During workouts or rest periods between sets, if I walk around or perform certain movements (like walking to get water),

the watch sometimes automatically switches to the next lap—as if I pressed the back button—even though I definitely didn’t press anything.

So I have a couple of questions:

1. Is this auto-skipping intentional? Is it designed to automatically advance laps based on movement?

(I initially thought I might be accidentally pressing the button with my wrist, but I’m quite sure that’s not the case.)

2. If it is intentional, is there a way to disable this in the settings?

I’m also wondering if this is a common issue or a bug specific to my device.

If it’s a bug, I’d be pretty disappointed.
