Health tracking devices e.g. venu4 garnim
I have a Garmin Fenix 8 51mm AMOLED. Love all the features, mainly the GPS and highly detailed mapping. I do not rely on it, but it does offer some cool health tracking options, some more reliable than others. With any of these watches, they act more as a flag raiser, definitely not a diagnosis make

Why is my battery so bad all of a sudden? Galaxy watch ultra, 2024 model.
I also have no idea, it's garbage. When I bought it, the battery lasted 3.5 days of regular use. After a month, it received an update and now it lasted 2.0 days. A month ago, it received the latest update and it only lasts 18 or 20 hours at the most. The solution I found to have 25 days or more of b

Back to MIP! Fenix 8 Solar
I don't know. Maybe I like the bright screen. I'm not going to the mountains or things like that. I bought the Garmin ecosystem, for health reasons: Index Scale, Index BPM and the Fenix 8 51mm. I have a Google Pixel Watch 4 45mm. I love it very much. Maybe the AMOLED screen makes the Fenix feel a li

Anyone own Garmin Smartwatch and Samsung Smartwatch? Torn between Fenix 8 and Samsung Watch 8 Classic
I have the Samsung Watch 5 Pro and Ultra AND the Garmin Fenix 8 51mm. There are a bunch of things that took some adjustment, but the battery life is keeping me on the Garmin side. The things I wish I could have from the Samsung, though, are the alarm sync with my phone, the automatic activity detect

Keep Balance 2 or not?
Most workouts I have Garmin on wrist and Helio strap on bicep. I waffle back and forth between watches for daily. Right now I am working on a Garmin Instinct 3 Tactical 50mm AMOLED review, so that is on my wrist rn. For just chilling and general use when I am not in wearables review hell, I usually

Garmin Refugee: Suunto or Apple Watch Ultra?
I have owned all three. I have used Apple Watches for years, first a AW 7, then a AW Ultra gen 1 and for a few years a AW Ultra gen 2. Between those I have tried the Suunto Race S and more recently the Suunto Vertical 2. I currently own a Garmin Fenix 8 51mm. Here is my two cents. I absolutely loved

Amazfit Ultra 2 battery drains
基本上AOD開啟狀態下維持10天是正常的, 關AOD會多好幾天, 所以AOD on 10天是OK 我也戴了快4個月, 我自己有Garmin Fenix 8 51mm amoled版本, AOD開啟也是只有13天(GARMIN F8電量稍微多一點點), Fenix8也用了快三個月......

New band for my 50mm AMOLED. Much more comfortable, doesn't irritate my wrist, feels more secure, and I feel it looks so much better than the stock band.
The same think happened to me after wearing it for 5 days straight. I switched to nylon and wear it 24/7, including in the shower. It great. Here’s the one I use. It doesn’t look as cool as yours but I like it Abanen Rugged Nylon Watch Bands for Garmin Fenix 8 51mm / Enduro/Instinct 2X / epix Pro 51
