Techy Q - Apple vs Garmin
I’ve used both back and birth depending on how much working out consistently I’ve been doing. Apple Watch is a bit more integrated with iPhone but Garmin is leaps and bounds ahead for fitness stuff. My big recommendation though is make sure whatever model you get has Sapphire glass which is much mor

Best Garmin Watch for MTB
Yeah I am a fellow Epix Gen 2 user and very happy with it for MTB, hiking and pool swimming as my main activities. The AMOLED screen is particularly good for clarity I find. My friend has the enduro 2 and he rates it for MTB also.

Garmin Watch
I use the Epix Gen 2. I’m primarily a runner as well but cycling at least once a week. And I too just signed up for a Sprint Tri this fall (swimming sucks for me 🤣). The Epix works great. It’s a bit heavier than some of the other options but I like that it’s rugged (I have the sapphire version). I d

Switch from fenix 8
I’m using an Epix 2 and got the opportunity to use a Vertical 2 for a week. I loved the watch, it’s fast and easy to use. Just like it was said before, the lack of buttons gives way less ways to have shortcuts (which I use a lot). You would be likely to put the light on one meaning just another shor

Anyone made a switch from Garmin epix2 to AW Ultra gen3?
I went from Apple Watch 7 (2 years) to an Epix Gen 2 (2 years) and now an AWU3 (4 months). I miss some things from my Garmin but ultimately cared more about better integration with my phone and my Workout app of choice (Fitbod). Things I miss: week long battery life 5 physical buttons (you can disab

Apple Watch Ultra, Garmin Fenix, or something else entirely?
First off, ive got an Epix 2nd gen, because they've recently stopped the epix line its amazing value for money atm. Love it for hiking, biking, climbing, everything. Second point, and maybe others have had better experiences than me, but ive never been impressed by any crash detection. I was hit by

Coros Apex 4, Suunto Vertical 2, Suunto Race 2, or Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar
Garmin. My experience with Coros is plastic cheap junk. App was buggy as hell and the watch simply stopped working after about 2-3 years. It was a good cheap entry workout watch for me, but just didn't last. My Garmin epix 2 is still going strong 5+ years later. It is my everyday watch and I use it

Garmin Instinct 3 vs Coros Nomad
I was shopping for a replacement for my instinct crossover and ended up with the epix gen 2 pro. It's not cheap but because it's been replaced by the Fenix 8, it was a great price. Maps, flashlight, music, decent battery (I use always on display and do nothing to conserve battery and get about a wee
