Why all the hate for AMOLED?

The two major issues you'll hear about relate to battery life and visibility in sunlight. Many people see the compromises in these two as deal-breakers, and given that Garmin is switching a lot (if not all) of their watches to AMOLED or at least with AMOLED options, I think people are chirping about...

Strava, Don’t Bite the Hand that Feeds You

Although they're not perfect I like my Garmins (Edge and Epix) and track my activities with them. They work correctly almost always and I'm quite happy with them. About 50% of my friends use Garmin devices. Strava is a plus for social networking, seeing what my friends are doing, get new ideas... I ...

New Garmin Venu X1

Well, we can see that it's probably targeted at Apple users. That's ok, the screen looks very nice. They don't want the super bulky watch for the battery like the Enduro or Fenix/Epix, so they give less battery for a Garmin, but still better than an Apple Watch. The screen is pretty good from what I...

I made a small upgrade after 9 years

Impressive. I'm about to hit 4 years with my Epix Gen 2... I keep reminding myself that

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

Garmin users are getting screwed, and most don’t even realize it

That logic is flawed. Buying a premium device isn’t a fixed snapshot of features frozen in time — especially when the entire ecosystem is built on software evolution. Garmin markets longevity, durability, training science, and long-term platform support as part of the value proposition. When people ...

I don't do anything, but want a Garmin.

I bought an Epix Gen 2 a couple of years ago. I don’t use half the features but I love the look and feel of it. Go for it! No one really needs a Rolex, Breitling, or TAG Heuer, either, but they sell a lot of them for no reason other than keeping time and looking great on your wrist. Why can’t we do ...

Tactix 8 is out! MIP only on 51mm :/

That interesting because I’d imagine most people buying this watch would opt towards MIP. $1,400 for the MIP — just crazy pricing on these new Garmin models (Fenix and Tactix). After seeing how my Epix Gen 2 was treated, I’ll never be spending this kind of money on a watch from Garmin again. They se...

Amazfit for serious sports training

Amazfit hardware is fantastic. For reference, in the last couple of years I’ve owned and trained with the following (I’m not rich or crazy, but I got really used to having a bunch of devices during grad school when my research called for it). Amazfit T-Rex 3 Amazfit Balance 2 Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro App...
