Apple Watch Ultra 1 users are you upgrading ?

Garmin is worse. They didn’t update their 1200€ watch after just under 2 years. The Epix Pro Gen 2 only received bug fixes and no new features or UI after releasing their Fenix 8.

Garmin died during IMLP

I feel your pain. My Epix gen 2 crapped out on me mile 25 of Ironman Copenhagen in 2023. Tbf I was similarly time-challenged that day. Went and bought a Fenix 8 with a 27 day battery life. Even I can’t go that slow…

I have just moved from Garmin - Enduro 2 / Epix gen 2 titanium sapphire whatever. I had a suunto 9 Baro about 4 years ago prior to Garmin. I used them all as “daily” watches but I don’t connect my phone - I can’t stand the notifications to my wrist so can’t speak to that aspect. All of the watches h

My gripes with Garmin as an international pilot

Garmin's UX game is so bad that it's made me consider selling my Epix Gen 2 and never buying another Garmin watch again.

Just upgraded from AWU2 to Fenix 8. Officially joining the club!

I have the same situation - the switch from Apple to Garmin. Been using Epix Pro Gen 2 51mm for a few weeks with AWU2 switching and testing. I have already sold Epix - now it’s time for AWU2 to buy the Fenix 8 47mm with exact model. The 51mm were heavy and the software was little bit sluggish. The A

Former Garmin users, do Coros watches crash mid run less?

Had my Epix gen 2 hr freeze on a couple of runs when using an external hr sensor. But the run was recorded fine. Otherwise I've never had my garmin crash. I've owned a few. That said, I'm using a Pace Pro currently. No issues no crashes on it even with an external hr sensor.

New Suunto?

Suunto has very limited smartwatch features, especially on iOS. You'll be disappointed. Basically you'll get notifications on your watch and that is about it. The app ecosystem is very rudimentary and focuses on activity tracking. Garmin is a bit better smartwatch, if we look at smartwatch features,

Fenix or Epix

My Epix gen 2 start stop button quit working and I plan on getting a used Fenix 8. The Fenix 8 has the newer magnetic induction buttons which should be much better than the mechanical switch buttons on the older models.

Index Sleep Monitor completely irrelevant now?

Welcome to Garmin marketing world :) yes they make sure to keep release products over and over again so people just upgrade , don't be surprised if in a few months they release a new Cirqa with better sensor and people still buy it They made sure to put a 1000$ epix gen 2 pro into maintenance a few
