Fenix 8 amoled vs solar! Trade?
As someone who's owned a Fenix 3, 5, 6, 7, Tactix 7, Forerunner 735XT, 955, and now has spent time with both the Forerunner 970 and Tactix 8 AMOLED (which I ended up keeping because I've worn a 51mm Garmin for years), I think Reddit tends to overstate the downsides of AMOLED. MIP is awesome, and the

Ultra 3 v Fenix 8
I recently made the switch from the AWU2 to the Fenix 8 because I mainly used my watch for sports and health—essentially the same priorities you have. I have to say, I am completely satisfied with the change. The Garmin gives you much more insight into your health, recovery, Body Battery, Training R

Finally got my Fenix 8 pro
I went from AWU to Fenix 8 (not pro) and the Fenix is way better at about everything I use it for. However I’m not into smartwatches, I bought the watch primarily for running. So getting the AWU from the beginning was really stupid but at that time I didn’t know exactly how I was gonna use it. It to

Switch from AWU2 to Garmin Fenix?
I did the switch in the opposing direction, here is your best pros and cons in my opinion: Garmin Pros: * you'll get better training information* you'll have better battery* design overall is better in my opnion What I think you would miss: * cellular: even if you go with Fenix 8 Pro, the cellular isn't

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. All Garmins are also great for overall fitness and wellness tracking like sleep

Switching from Garmin?
I can vouch for this. I'm still using my Fenix 8 on the side while I test different Amazfit watches and I get to see the performance. Of all the watches I've owned (Huawei, Samsung, OnePlus, Apple, etc), Garmin has been the most reliable, when it came to pacing, at least with the recent watches.

Which Coros watch for an intensive routine: CrossFit, Running, and Spearfishing (Freediving)?
That’s a great point about water pressure and the difference between open water swimming and actual diving. You completely nailed it!To make sure I had proper dive tracking and water resistance without needing to switch between different watches, I decided to go all in and pulled the trigger on the
