Best watch for hiking/skiing?

I have a Garmin but it’s the Instinct 2x and it’s my favorite watch I’ve ever had. I do a fair bit of camping and the light has come in handy a crazy number of times. The GPS drop a pin has saved me from a few off trail mishaps too. I’ve had three Apple Watches and I’d not go back.

Fenix/Epix v Instinct

The Fenix 7x was my first Garmin I ever got. I got it in Feb 24. Then I got the instinct 3 tactical. I have had some disposable income since and got the Enduro 3 and Fenix 8 solar 50mm as well. I had given the original 7x I owned, the Fenix 8, and the Enduro 3, to some family members to try out for

Garmin Watch

I have a Garmin Instinct 2x, has everything I want/need and looks smart too. The battery is insane and lasts for over a month each charge which is great, I had an Apple Watch years ago and having another device to charge every couple of days was a chore, not only that it allows for better tracking o

Tips hardloophorloge

Het is al eerder genoemd, maar voor mij ook geen touchscreen meer. Werkt niet lekker in de regen en de batterijduur vond ik erg mager. Nu heb ik sinds twee jaar een garmin instinct 2x solar, met knoppen en een batterijduur van 35 dagen als ie volledig opgeladen is. Verkrijgbaar in twee maten ook nog

Street X megathread

I have both Garmin and Polar watches. Instinct 2x and 3 provide Garmin Pay so you can pay for your coffee after a run without having to carry a physical wallet. SPO2 enables better insight into sleep, sleep disturbances etc. While Instinct doesn't have breathing variations, SPO2 on its own plus Heal
