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.

Back in coros... and i m happy!!!

I’m in the same boat. I had Epix Pro Gen 2 and got the Coros Pace Pro, and love it. I wouldn’t go back to Garmin. One - their prices are ridiculous, and, Two - as you say to much useless data. Coros is streamlined and has the necessary data you need. I used the nylon strap and still felt uncomfortab

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

COROS > Garmin

I had a Garmin Epix 2nd Gen and switched to the Coros Pace Pro and have never regretted doing so. The Coros app is far better I find the god accuracy on the apace Pro to be much better Garmin have started to introduce subscription, while there is nothing behind that paywall that I want the principle

Which watch?

Just a heads up. Research on the update policy of Garmin if it’s ok with you. For example the flagships Fenix 7 Pro/Epix Gen 2 Pro that Garmin abandoned after 1.5 years. Then the flagship Forerunner 965 that did not received trickled down features from FR970 etc. It can lead to buyer’s remorse.

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.
