Thinking about ditching Garmin for Suunto would that be a mistake?
I had thr same feeling from Garmin, getting frustrated with charging for premium £1000+ watches, then hiding features behind a paywall Moved from a Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 to a Suunto Race S about 6 weeks ago & haven't looked back since

What kind of smart watch are you wearing on the trails AND in the office?
Garmin epix pro gen 2. If I had to get a new one right now, I'd get the new Fenix, whatever it is. 8? But I just wear it with bright silicone bands even with suits in court, because who cares.

Not the most frugal thing I know, I just splurged on myself with a new running watch, Garmin Epix Pro gen 2 sapphire. Ran be $450, and that is on sale. I run 1000-1500 miles a year and I like data. I think it will be worth it (and a lot better than the Vivoactive 4 I've been using since 2020.)

As an epix pro 2 user am I missing out on anything specific to a Fenix?
The epix gen 2 is basically a renamed fenix 7 but in AMOLED. I have the fenix 7 pro sapphire solar mip, wife has the epix gen 2, and they are identical in every way except for screen technology and solar. The fenix 7 did not come in AMOLED, they released that version as the epix. For the fenix 8 lin

Garmin users are getting screwed, and most don’t even realize it
Same. I bought a Garmin Epix Gen 2 Sapphire Titanium about 8 months ago - love it and imagine I will keep it for at least a few more years.

I have the Epix Gen 2 and have been very happy with it. 3 years on and the battery is not what it first was, but that happens with all tech devices. I get that newer models and more updates , but my watch still does everything I paid for initially. If I was to upgrade again now, the only tangible fe

Like I’m stupid, compare a 7 vs 8?
Fenix 7 has an older HR sensor, no LED flashlight except on 7X, and only has a MIP screen, the AMOLED model was called Epix Gen 2. Fenix 7 Pro / Epix Pro are basically the same as Fenix 8, with all the same sensors and internal hardware, and LED flashlight on every model, the main differences are: F

You can’t convince me Garmin is better than Apple
Ha! I've been an Apple Watch user since they came out. I had some FOMO with my ultrarunner husband and daughter with their Garmins, so I got exactly that Epix Pro Gen 2. It lasted maybe 3 hours, and I hated it so much I returned it right away. I barely got through setting it up and knew it wasn't fo

I'm Impressed. Testament to the sapphire glass and DLC coating, 9 years on.
Damn and the scuff marks just age it like a fine wine! I’ve had great reliability with all of my Garmin devices over the years. Currently using an Edge MTB and Epix Pro Gen 2, they are both seemingly indestructible. The Epix literally keeps me healthy, and not so gently coerces me into training ever
