Not the most frugal thing I know, I just splurged on myself with a new running watch, Garmin Epix Pro gen 2 sapphire. Ran be $450, and that is on sale. I run 1000-1500 miles a year and I like data. I think it will be worth it (and a lot better than the Vivoactive 4 I've been using since 2020.)

As an epix pro 2 user am I missing out on anything specific to a Fenix?
The epix gen 2 is basically a renamed fenix 7 but in AMOLED. I have the fenix 7 pro sapphire solar mip, wife has the epix gen 2, and they are identical in every way except for screen technology and solar. The fenix 7 did not come in AMOLED, they released that version as the epix. For the fenix 8 lin

Is buying a Garmin GPSMAP actually worth it?
I picked up a Garmin Epix 2 two years ago for £430 and it came with all the maps of europe. I use it on basically every hike. I love it and it makes route planning way easier.

Best watch I’ve ever had, what do u guys think about the instinct?
I want one. I was trying to between the instinct 3 or the epix gen 2. I went with the epix. I found it on Amazon for $300. My next watch will be an instinct.

"Solar is gimmick on MIP Fenix" 🤣
The AMOLED watches are perfectly visible in sunlight. DCrainmaker has said as much in countless videos of his to point of it not being a valid reason not to get AMOLED. Also they're better now than with the original Epix Gen 2 (which I have incidentally having had an F3, F5 and F6X). The latest micr

Is Fenix 7 pro 2 worth it
I bought my Fenix 7 Pro in December, and love it! It's a fantastic tool that gives me incentive to work out. That is worth the money 😄It's surely overkill for any mortal, but i still use it a lot, mostly for strenght training, pilates, calisthenics, cardio, for the eventual hike, listening to music

Does GPS work better on newer models?
Well after the fenix 7 pro / Epix gen 2 pro the Epix is no more, it has become the Fenix Amoled. Personally I’m happy with the amoled screens, although I use a very minimalistic watchface. I’d recommend a Fenix 8 and if somewhat on a budget a Fenix 7 pro / Epix gen 2 pro. Amoled vs MIP is just about

Garmin Forerunner vs Fenix
I have a coros pace pro. About the same as the fr255 in terms of capability but cheaper. I'd get the epix pro gen 2 or fenix 7. The Fenix 8 is cool but unless you're diving not worth the price hike.

Switching from Garmin
I made the switch Epix Pro Gen 2 to the Pace Pro. You won’t regret it. I’m so glad I made the switch. Pace Pro is true running watch at a fantastic price. The screen is bright, and clear. The UI is easy to use, and the app is better than Garmin. Even things down to the watch strap, so much more comf
