Vertical 2
I have a Fenix 8 and a vertical 2 and here is what i think. Sleep tracking on the Suunto doesn't work for me. Sitting around and watch tv in the evening is considered sleeping with Suunto. Therefore a lot of metrics are not right since i sleep much longer on the watch than i really do. For hiking i

Switch from fenix 8
I’m using an Epix 2 and got the opportunity to use a Vertical 2 for a week. I loved the watch, it’s fast and easy to use. Just like it was said before, the lack of buttons gives way less ways to have shortcuts (which I use a lot). You would be likely to put the light on one meaning just another shor

Weekly Buying/trading/selling advice, pre-orders and shipping Megathread
Hello! I am very close to purchasing my first Garmin watch. Coming from an Apple Watch Series 4 that I wore religiously for 5+ years until the battery become unusable (1/2 day on low power mode). I am pretty fitness focused running 3 days and swimming and lifting 3 days a week at my peak. Now I typi

Fenix 8 Pro crashes
That’s really odd. I hate not trusting the device as I purchased it for that exact reason. Never had these issues in my epix pro gen 2 either. I’ve still not had any answers back from support either.

Epix to Pace Pro
I made the switch about a year ago from an Epix Gen 2 and have been really happy. Lighter watch, less "noise" with stats that I didn't really use or could make consistent sense of. I run with an HRM (polar arm band) and wouldn't go back to a Garmin at this point. I've been invited to take part in Be

Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 vs Huawei Watch GT6 Pro?
I would add that neither are the smartest of smart watches and more fitness focused. I have the Epix Pro Gen 2 and it's amazing. Battery life is over a week. You can get music on it easily, with Spotify, Deezer, Amazon and Youtube music apps available for it. I really like being able to run without

1200€ Investment Abandoned? Epix Pro 51mm vs. Fenix 8 v21.25 Feature Gap | Am I wrong? Opinions?
Can already tell you its a no - they have said it numerous times and have stated it as the f8 was coming out - if you bought post F8 that is your look out. If bought prior to F8 there are a couple of things to consider: 1) if you compare the original branch which is the Epix gen 2 to what the watch

Praise to Garmin customer service
I also rate Garmin Service and support highly. They just recently replaced that no cost and epix Gen 2, a 4-year-old watch his buttons had become unresponsive. I'm a very happy camper
