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

Buy fenix 8 or wait for fenix 9

I’m waiting, the 8 processor is so slow and dated. The screen takes longer to turn on than my Epix gen 2 (non pro) does. IMO it’s half baked for what they cost these days. That being said, if I needed a new Garmin right now I would still buy it lol.

GARMIN FENIX 6S in 230$??

Seems about right for a four or five year old smartwatch. I paid about double that last year for a new Epix pro Gen 2 that was just discontinued.

Hands down best strap. Worth the price tag.

Depends where you're coming from Fenix 7x or epix gen 2 literally no reason to upgrade

Feedback on a Fenix E

Im on the same boat. Fenix 8 (800) is double the cost of a fenix e(390). And the Epix pro gen 2 is 499! Im on FR 255 too. Could it happen that the Epix pro gen 2 will never get the "newer" features as it wont be getting the new UI? That said, im looking for a FR255 replacement with AMOLED and Maps.

How are these not dominating the market?

I have tried 10+ watches and settled on this one. It is in some important ways better than $1300 Garmin Fenix 8 Sapphire - brighter screen for example and lower weight. It is not dominating the market because 1) people are stupid and need few years to grasp the situation 2) Amazfit is greedy and wil

GPS Tracking in Open Water

I used to swim a lot in the ocean with my Epix Gen 2 and the watch just stop working the start button. After going to repair the oxidation inside was terrible and so expensive to fix that I just bought another watch. I will never put a watch again in salty water. I created an app and now I use my lo

My Fitbit died. Do I bother to buy another?

Apple watch battery is awful, I moved to a Garmin Epix gen 2 but it's bulky, heavy, expensive and the sleep tracking is not good when working shifts. I therefore went back to a Fitbit inspire 3, it's does enough, it has a 10 day battery life, it's light and so cheap I don't mind buying another one i
