Google Health Reviews: Complaints Grew 65×

I thought the fitbit air and Google health had shitloads of problems, then I bought a Garmin fenix 8 and oh boy... Is the app even worse and the watch itself Um not to sure I like it... (they serve different purposes to me but compete for wrist time). All my apple watch friends complain about them a

Fenix 8 AMOLED or Solar

I not no experience with the AMOLED Garmins but I picked up a Fenix 8 51 Solar… no regrets. As someone else said. The back light button deals with low lighting and as for using it in the sun… top tier!

Upgrade or switch to something else?

I used Arccos many years ago and I still have my Gen 2 sensors that worked fine up until recently. But I don’t need or want to spend $200/yr. I don’t need crazy amounts of data. My distances are dialed in and I know where my game needs work. Also the Apple Watch app isn’t that great. I have also tri

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

Has anyone else left Garmin for Amazfit recently? Just made the switch and genuinely impressed

Well, I have a partial list: - watch face delay when swiping up for glances - map render speed even with all layers turned off - stuttering with swiping glances - current bug where I change the display mode to always on/off is not reflected in focus modes (devs aware) - random restarts while switch

Received my Cirqa today

First night with it, you just forget you have it, better than Fenix 8. Wish there is a morning report on the phone via Garmin connect tough

Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is confirmed to have an 800mah battery, IP69k, and more! (official promo images)

So funny you say that, I have moved over to the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro and I never thought I’d get used to having all the buttons but I am. I still have the Apple Watch Ultra 2 bc ATT, but in the past year I’ve had the GW 8, 8 Classic, and the CMF Watch Pro 3 (still have that one) and the CMF even has a

Is the fenix 7 still the move or has the fenix 8 been ironed out to be a superior unit? Let me know what you think!

The start of the Fenix 8 was garbage. No water because it just went out. No alarm clock worked. Garmin didn't just go broken off, etc. List was long and patience asked as with every new model at Garmin.

Ultra 3 v Fenix 8

I’ve had both. They’re just different and it all depends on your lifestyle. I went from a fenix 7x to an AWU3 then bought the Fenix 8 out of fomo on a deal…just returned the Fenix 8. Genuinely think the 7 line has everything the 8 does without the speaker which is really clunky and not useful at all

Triathlon Watches

Having not tried anything else I bought a Garmin Fenix 8. (HSA money is free right?) And I’m very happy with the battery life, GPS, and build quality, but god does their touch interface suck. It’s like 2010 software. I’m tempted to return it and get something else. Anyone else have beef with Garmin’
