Що купити Samsung Galaxy S26 + Galaxy Watch 8 або Iphone 17 + Apple Watch SE3.

Apple Watch - гівно. Кажу як власник Series 11. Тим більше SE. Заряджати кожну добу і для спорту вони не дуже прям заточені. Купіть краще Garmin. У мене Fenix 8 AMOLED і я дуже задоволений, набагато краще.

Garmin mk3i?

Descent MK3 is the top of the line watch for Freediving. It has almost everything you would want, including pool training, depth profiles, descent/ascent speed, etc. It is pricey though and Fenix 8 is a good alternative.

Fenix 8 mic broken... Recertified replacement?

My F7SS broke down this June. Garmin offered me a recertified fenix 8 solar as a replacement (not for free though, Fenix 7 was over 4y old). I was hesitant aswel, but the only thing that gave away that it was recertified was the box it came in. Device itself is like new and works like a charm. ymmv,

Came from a garmin to ultra 3. Feel great about my decision

I've got a Fenix 8 and AWU3. I keep wanting to switch permanently to the AW but, the Fenix 8 has so many more performance related features natively which are missing from the AW. The ones in really value are: Proactive run suggestions that drive performance - these now link via the race Widget to pr

Been wanting to buy a new watch and was going to buy the Garmin fenix 8 is there anything else anyone recommends

Had the Epix Gen 2 Sapphire for the past 2.5 years and loved it. Garmin recently sent me an upgrade to the Fenix 8 Sapphire and it is marginally better. I like the interface on fenix 8 over epix. Can't speak to forerunner..
