You can’t convince me Garmin is better than Apple

2 years now using both Apple Watch Ultra (1&2) and a Garmin Epix Pro 2 Sapphire. I have done short triathlon (and all the training), obstacle course races, golf, lifting, hiking and racquet sports with the watches. As I don't do marathons, full tris or multi day hikes in the woods (thus rendering th

Garmin epix pro 2 + edge 1040

TLDR: get a heart rate strap, connect everything to your edge once, and call it a day- no need to use the watch for anything. Every time you go for a ride just turn on the edge and everything else will connect automatically, then sync to your phone at the end of the ride. I have the same set up (edg

Are the Apple Watch Ultra sensors really that superior?

I agree. I workout and train with both the AWU and an Epix Pro 2 Sapphire. The Garmin cadence locks somewhat frequently. The AWU never has. The Garmin has actually crashed twice, mid activity. This has never happened with the AWU. Apple seems to overestimate calories burned. Garmin is much more real

What am I missing? Where's the catch with Amazfit?

and the venu3 is 449 dollars, versus the Active 2 under 100 my garmin epix pro 2 51mm was almost 1200 dollars, my Trex 3 from Amazfit, which does pretty much everything the Garmin does, was 234 dollars do the math, its a no brainer, Garmin is MEGA overpriced, period

Access golf app on Balance 2 XT

Looks like the glass on the Balance 2 is better than the XT and it has the golf app. Cautiously optimistic after playing around with the XT for half an hour. I have both watches. If you somewhat liked the XT, you're gonna be good with the premium version, the Balance 2. ill pretty skeptical of this

instinct 3 45mm on a 135mm wrist

Looks great. Speaking as a guy, in my opinion women do the chunky watch look way better than men (same with OS sunnies, jewellery, boyfriend tees and jeans looks!) I’m a guy and builder with a 51mm Epix Pro 2, so not skinny white office arms like I’d otherwise have and it feels good. For some reason

Vertical 2 vs Epix Pro

I just got the watch 3 hours ago, here are my first impressions. Physical Design The physical design is quite nice. Garmin has a very rugged and tactical look across all their premium watches with big and bulky cases. Forerunner is probably the cleanest but the Race 2 is even cleaner. Garmins have t

My First MRG!

Cool watch but man they’re overpriced (as are watches feat automatic movements). A basic 5600 Gshock square solar is prob my fave all time everyday watch. I currently have a 5600 solar as well as a 2009 Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 500m quartz and an 18ct Continental (a Swiss watch that I won in

Should i get a Garmin instinct?

Garmin watches are hard to beat. Was thinking about an instinct, but when the Fenix 8 was released, I found an Epix Pro 2 Sapphire 51mm new on sale same price as an instinct. Thought I’d still wear my Tag Heuer dive watch and Casio 5600 occasionally but the Garmin is a game changer. I’m a self emplo
