Maybe they can, but my experience with them was so horribly bad that I've sent it back after 3 days trying. From hardware issues that got through quality control somehow, software incompetence and finally the cloud-everything-approach.
If that's the best we got, we're in trouble...
Oh bummer. I've had great experiences. I've had two Fenix watches. The first one for 5 years and it still worked great I just wanted to upgrade. The second one I've had for two and it's just as good but with more features
But hardware support is just not there, I've mailed them to try to buy a new screen, they just made me an offer to send the old one and get a new one for a "good deal". It makes me sad when I know how dar good these watches are.
