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

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

Buy fenix 8 or wait for fenix 9
I’m waiting, the 8 processor is so slow and dated. The screen takes longer to turn on than my Epix gen 2 (non pro) does. IMO it’s half baked for what they cost these days. That being said, if I needed a new Garmin right now I would still buy it lol.

Is buying a Garmin GPSMAP actually worth it?
I picked up a Garmin Epix 2 two years ago for £430 and it came with all the maps of europe. I use it on basically every hike. I love it and it makes route planning way easier.

Bra smartwatch/stegräknarklocka/träningsklocka
Börja med en billig variant och se om det är något för dig. Xiaomi Smart Band 10 är helt okej. Jag har själv en Garmin Epix Pro gen 2 och visst är den bra men den ger inte så mycket mer än en Xiaomi om du inte har specifika behov. Det finns även ringar och band utan klockdel som kan vara intressanta

Best watch I’ve ever had, what do u guys think about the instinct?
I want one. I was trying to between the instinct 3 or the epix gen 2. I went with the epix. I found it on Amazon for $300. My next watch will be an instinct.

Back in coros... and i m happy!!!
I’m in the same boat. I had Epix Pro Gen 2 and got the Coros Pace Pro, and love it. I wouldn’t go back to Garmin. One - their prices are ridiculous, and, Two - as you say to much useless data. Coros is streamlined and has the necessary data you need. I used the nylon strap and still felt uncomfortab

"Solar is gimmick on MIP Fenix" 🤣
The AMOLED watches are perfectly visible in sunlight. DCrainmaker has said as much in countless videos of his to point of it not being a valid reason not to get AMOLED. Also they're better now than with the original Epix Gen 2 (which I have incidentally having had an F3, F5 and F6X). The latest micr

Is Fenix 7 pro 2 worth it
I bought my Fenix 7 Pro in December, and love it! It's a fantastic tool that gives me incentive to work out. That is worth the money 😄It's surely overkill for any mortal, but i still use it a lot, mostly for strenght training, pilates, calisthenics, cardio, for the eventual hike, listening to music
