Why all the hate for AMOLED?
The two major issues you'll hear about relate to battery life and visibility in sunlight. Many people see the compromises in these two as deal-breakers, and given that Garmin is switching a lot (if not all) of their watches to AMOLED or at least with AMOLED options, I think people are chirping about

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
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

Rant na Amerykanow wychwalajacych Polske
Dozbieraj z 1000 i bierz jakiegoś garmina. Ja za 2700 kupiłem Epix pro gen 2 z szafirowym szkielkoem. Czas. Pracy na baterii o at 2 tyg.

I can't stand dim screens anymore
I have an Epix gen 2 AMOLED and I never worry about the battery, although I went camping recently and used the flashlight a bunch and it quickly killed it.

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

You can’t convince me Garmin is better than Apple
Ha! I've been an Apple Watch user since they came out. I had some FOMO with my ultrarunner husband and daughter with their Garmins, so I got exactly that Epix Pro Gen 2. It lasted maybe 3 hours, and I hated it so much I returned it right away. I barely got through setting it up and knew it wasn't fo

Yet Another One
Here is my standard response, typed a while back, with a link to pics showing my point: When sizing a watch don’t turn the Watch toward your face to judge. This rotates the radius bone (thumb side) over the Ulna (pinky side), making the wrist more square and narrow. Instead, look in the mirror with

Fenix 8 AMOLED burn-in
5 years will probably get some degree of burns-in, but it might still be usable. There are not many reports on Fenix 8 because it is relatively new, but older Garmin watches have plenty of burns-in reports, just go check the epix gen 2 forums. It is a technology issue that will always happen despite

New Pixel User Here...
I have a Garmin Epix Gen 2. It's a fantastic watch and the battery life is amazing. I much prefer it over the Apple watch I had before switching to android. The other great thing about Garmin is their customer service. A couple of months ago (21 months after buying the watch ) one of the buttons sto
