Fenix 7

Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Solar. The F7 was the first with touchscreen, which makes using maps much easier. And, battery life is outstanding

Are you sure about Garmin discontinuing the support for Epix 2? In my understanding they do not offer the new features for ”F7 line-up” buy do bring any essential security updates and bug fixes. Anyhow, I do understand your frustration towards Garmin as I’ve spied the conversations and updates about

I had the Fenix 7 Pro and sold it for the Polar Grit X2 Pro. Reason: simplicity. Polar gives me exactly what I need without unnecessary features. The HRV/Orthostatic test with the H10 is accurate and useful for training decisions. With Garmin I always felt overwhelmed by functions I didn’t use. Also

I wanted to try to survive without Garmin; they're incredibly expensive, and 90% of their app store consists of paid ap

I know. It happens. I even had to reboot my Vertical a couple of weeks ago to get the HR working again. Problem with that was, it didn't know the date since it couldn't sync with my phone. So now that run is logged back in 2023 or something. But since I don't really need HR data for my easy runs, I

I just sold my fenix 7s pro sapphire solar for a fenix 8. I was sick of MIPs and wanted amoled. I didn’t think it would be THAT big of an upgrade, but it was with some of the new updates to the 8 I hadn’t gotten to the 7. Primarily in running and it seems to have fixed some issues I had on my 7 with
