Thinking about ditching Garmin for Suunto would that be a mistake?

I had thr same feeling from Garmin, getting frustrated with charging for premium £1000+ watches, then hiding features behind a paywall Moved from a Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 to a Suunto Race S about 6 weeks ago & haven't looked back since

Epix Pro Gen2/Fenix 7 Pro - would you buy this watch again or went for other brand/model?

Epix Pro Gen 2 (51mm, DLC). For me it feels absolutely great and does more things I wanted it to do. 10/10 would buy again, especially now since the price dropped. Navigation and battery life is what I wanted this watch for - I like to do very long hikes and with all systems deployed my watch advert

Garmin users are getting screwed, and most don’t even realize it

Define "abandoned"? I just got a firmware update on my 4 year old Epix Gen 2...either this week or last. If you're buying a consumer electronic product because you want new future features - you're an ignorant consumer. Buy products for the features they have WHEN YOU'RE BUYING IT. Nevermind - readi

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

What is a light that you didn’t think you’d use often but ended up using quite a lot?

The light on my Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 (Smartwatch). I use it a lot because it's really no effort to double-press a button on my watch, instead of having to carry or locate one of my other flashlights.

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

Garmin’s rotating crown may support clicks and gestures

Yeah I'm honestly not a fan of this but I can see it being useful for Garmin models that only come with 2-3 physical buttons. Hopefully, they'll keep the rotating crown to those product lines only. I've had my Epix Gen 2 for nearly 4 years and the 5 physical buttons work great if I'm wearing gloves

New Garmin user, which watch?

I'm a drummer and work out every other day as well. My Garmin epix 2 is into its 4th year and looks and works as new. It's a different animal. Great app as well. Buy a model with titanium with sapphire glass.

What do you want that Whoop 4.0 doesn’t have?

Agreed. In my opinion Whoop is already great. Few devices that does more than them. I own a Garmin Epix Pro gen 2 as well, and not sure what the point of having both are. But here we are. That said, there are def things they could work on. So here is a few things Whoop could do: More user-friendly a
