The 2X tactical goes for 222USD and the 3 solar for
290. Is it worth the extra 68 dollars?

I’ve been rocking the 165 during my runs and I am quite happy with it. I see quite an amount of data and the watch is very light which I like.

At this moment I am only wearing the watch during workouts but I am considering wearing it every day. However I am not sure if this would give me more metrics?

Something in my head tells me to return it and opt for a model with more (up to date) features for future proofing and one that could potentially be nice to wear all day (note: i am unsure if garmin watches are for all day wear as I am unsure what the benefit is over just wearing it for workout)

Now there is also Fitbit air which is very tempting as it is very minimal which I like and could wear everyday. However I assume the metrics when it comes to running can’t be compared with any forerunner. It does not have GPS but I have my phone with me on every run.

Anyone in the same boat or perhaps has any advice what the ideal watch/fitness tracker would be for me?

Just wanted to share that my experience with support was next level. My issues were always being looked into and now solved by the team. Couple orders didn’t go as planned and support was always ready to help.

I’ve been enjoying my Framework which is thanks to support.

Long story short I have ordered 4 FW 13's by now all with issues and up to this day the latest one has yet another issue.

Facts:

- last year I ordered a framework 13, my biggest issue was that external display over USB-C does simply not work, every other day plugging in my USB-C monitors simply would not provide an output, while peripherals work. Yes I have tested different cables, no expansion cards. Issue does not occur on other laptops.

- I order a FW 13: MOBO issue according to support, my system would show artifacts and battery drain of 25% while suspend. Returned.
- I order a third unit, input cover received damage.
- I have talked to chaotic eagle and the fact that this person was very kind and was eager to help me out with the external monitor issue led me to give it another try.

Today: I am in contact with support regarding the external monitors and am sending them videos and logs of the issue (which I am glad about that they are picking it up) and chaoticeagle told me he would send all the info to the engineer team. Awesome. Really I appreciate that!

However, today, yes that is a day after I received and setup my FW13 I notice a bubble? on the bottom of the screen, I've attached an image.

Yesterday I also created this post and sent a support ticket, just to ensure everything is correct. Is my input cover ok which I think al seems OK FYI.: https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/1sytq6j/is_my_input_cover_ok/

my previous post regarding thanking the FW team: https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/1subqpd/kudos_to_framework_and_the_chaotic_eagle/

I am clueless what to do at this point. I was working today in office with monitors attached, can the bubble be caused due to heat?

Can I change the battery limit on my FW 13 7640U without going to BIOS? I thought there was a official FW-ectool but can’t seem to find it.

I would like to switch from Fedora to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and specifically were wondering for some tips and tricks you wish you knew when starting out with OpenSUSE.

My questions so far:

- Is this the proper place to look for guides, for example if I want to setup hibernation : https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/tumbleweed/power/

- How is framework 13 AMD 7640U support?

Thank you!
