Like I’m stupid, compare a 7 vs 8?
Fenix 7 has an older HR sensor, no LED flashlight except on 7X, and only has a MIP screen, the AMOLED model was called Epix Gen 2. Fenix 7 Pro / Epix Pro are basically the same as Fenix 8, with all the same sensors and internal hardware, and LED flashlight on every model, the main differences are: F

Garmin users are getting screwed, and most don’t even realize it
I have the Epix Gen 2 and have been very happy with it. 3 years on and the battery is not what it first was, but that happens with all tech devices. I get that newer models and more updates , but my watch still does everything I paid for initially. If I was to upgrade again now, the only tangible fe

Men who have cut out alcohol for health reasons (not because you're an alcoholic), what is your story?
lol I got a watch when I started running as well, and now I refuse to actually log my runs on the watch. Not sure what you have, but I have a garmin epix 2 and what frustrates me so much is the watch will judge my run and give me an endurance score based on the first quarter mile of my run. I genera

Help me decide - AMOLED or Solar
I owned the Epix 2 and now the Fenix 8. Bothing being AMOLED I've had none of these problems. I wonder if this person is challenged or had a defective watch. I used Always on Display and my watch responds immediately and I have had zero problems ever seeing the watch face. I had MIP prior and see no

Can we agree?
WARNING - this is not going to be a popular POV, but I am trying to bring a balanced perspective to this whole view that companies out there owe us future upgrades that were never part of what has been promised. ---- I saw a post about this earlier where the poster had mentioned that the hardware be

HR Chest Strap readings from rolling
How old are you / what belt are you? Curious as to how this compares over age and rank / time training. I'm 44M / purple belt, track every training session with Polar H10 strap -> Garmin Epix Gen 2. Max HR is low 180s. I never actually hit it, the closest I'll get is high 170s. Most of my training s

Has my Fitbit been lying to me?
I tried my Inspire 3 with my Garmin Epix Gen 2 over a 5 mile walk and the steps were around 500 difference. So I do trust the Inspire.

Good smart sportswatch
If you already are in the Garmin ecosystem, then get a Garmin. I have an Epix Pro Gen 2 that does everything.

AWU3 vs Garmin Fenix 8 - losing my mind over this GAS spiral 😅
To be honest based on what you plan on doing I think Garmin is the perfect fit for you. I think you’re right, in that people are always posting they switched but I would go out on a limb to say they aren’t even doing half of what you’re doing. I had an Epix 2 (non-pro) and just switched to an ultra
