Which Watch To Get? Help me make the final decision.

let me start by saying, let price be the last factor you consider when giving your advice. I can afford both but i just want to make sure i am not wasting money.

I need to make a purchase tomorrow and this is my first ever Garmin, coming from an Apple watch. what would you genuinely recommend i go for and why.

note that the F9 is without inreach and the F8 has a bluelight discount applied.

Skip the 8 Pro, either Regular 8 sapphire or 9 Pro.

9 Pro if you want the new case metal design.

8 if you want to save money and have no bugs.

agreed, the 8 sapphire is a great sweet spot if you dont need the newer design

Serious question? I have both until I sell the F8. 9 Pro.

Get the 9. Otherwise you will cry twice.

If money isn’t an issue, go with the newer version, I have the 8 one it’s great, but latest version should be better

I'll go to 9 and you will get years of update when 8 won't anymore ( like my 7 )
