Garmin users are getting screwed, and most don’t even realize it

Honestly I checked their roadmap on the official site for Epix Pro Gen2 while buying, and I was so surprised when they dropped the strength coach later. Well, this was my last Garmin, they made us feel like a fool for trusting their word. Never again.

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

Men who have cut out alcohol for health reasons (not because you're an alcoholic), what is your story?

lol I got a watch when I started running as well, and now I refuse to actually log my runs on the watch. Not sure what you have, but I have a garmin epix 2 and what frustrates me so much is the watch will judge my run and give me an endurance score based on the first quarter mile of my run. I genera

Fenix 8 AMOLED burn-in

5 years will probably get some degree of burns-in, but it might still be usable. There are not many reports on Fenix 8 because it is relatively new, but older Garmin watches have plenty of burns-in reports, just go check the epix gen 2 forums. It is a technology issue that will always happen despite

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.

Can we agree?

WARNING - this is not going to be a popular POV, but I am trying to bring a balanced perspective to this whole view that companies out there owe us future upgrades that were never part of what has been promised. ---- I saw a post about this earlier where the poster had mentioned that the hardware be

Exact same. Bought the Epix Pro Gen 2, and eight months later went back to the AWU3 once it came out. I prefer the AW, but different strokes for different folks

Tactix 8 is out! MIP only on 51mm :/

That interesting because I’d imagine most people buying this watch would opt towards MIP. $1,400 for the MIP — just crazy pricing on these new Garmin models (Fenix and Tactix). After seeing how my Epix Gen 2 was treated, I’ll never be spending this kind of money on a watch from Garmin again. They se

Amoled regret

I did the same. Went from Fenix 5 to EPIX Gen 2 and quickly back to Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. I really like the MIP
