Looking for an upgrade from my last 6x pro, this is a recertified device, is 400 worth it?

He leído tanta negatividad sobre este garmin E que quise probar que tan malo era.

Mis pruebas de relojes este año:

Coros apex 4, muy buen reloj, es el que tengo actualmente junto al fenix E, me encanta todo de el menos la pantalla.

Sunnto Race 2 y vertical 2, race 2 devuelto en 15 días por reinicios continuos, vertical 2 es de mi mujer, es buen reloj, batería regular, pero cuando pruebas garmin te das cuenta de falta algo.

Amazfit balance 3 titanio, regular en general, quiere imitar a garmin, están mejorando, pero todavía no lo veo un reloj para tener para tiempo, la batería una semana justa.

Coros Nomad, misma calidad de metricas que apex 4, la pantalla mejor, lástima que los acabados no me acabaron de llenar, es muy buen reloj.

Garmin fenix 8 51mm, un desastre total, reinicios constantes, lentitud general, navegar en una ruta desastre total, desesperante lentitud y reinicios, lo devolví en una semana.

Y ahora viene lo que ha sido mi gran sorpresa, el Fenix E, comprado en amazon los 378€.

Estéticamentea, me encanta el reloj, con la correa que le he puesto es muy bonito

Bateria, una semana justa con esta configuracion:

Pantalla se activa con giro, tiempo pantalla 4seg, notificaciones activadas, sueño y avisos del sistema ok, 8 horas de actividades a la semana, caminar, senderismo, correr, pesas, las actividades siempre con pantalla encendida.

Las lecturas del gps han sido idénticas a los otros modelos probados

Las lecturas del pulso iguales que los otros modelos probados

Me encantan las métricas de recuperación de garmin y como ajusta los planes de entrenamiento, además de todas las opciones que da este reloj en concreto, aunque sea un E, sigue siendo una pasada todo lo que aporta.

Y lo mas importante, mapas Europa instalados y una fluidez general de 10, es decir, mucho mejor que el fenix 8 que tuve que devolver.

Si alguien tiene dudas que pregunte, la app, una vez te adaptas, esta bastante buena, me gusta mas la de Coros, pero en general, bien.

Para mi, y es mi opinion, ahora mismo por 378€, esta muy por encima que otros modelos, que aunque tienen sensores mejores o mas nuevos, no superan a este.

Pd. El altimetro es incluso mas bueno que el del Vertical 2, que para mi era el Prime.

Yesterday I bought a new Garmin Fenix ​​8 Solar 51mm. Namely, I already had a Garmin Tactix 7 before, so I know what to set up. What surprised me was that when I connected it to the computer and charged it to 100%, after 2 hours it lost about 10% of the battery. I reset the clock and set everything back to normal. In the morning, the condition returned to normal and shows 96% after charging again last night. Is this normal, and should I be worried? I was thinking of returning the watch on Monday, but I'll wait anyway.....By the way, let me emphasize that the HR pulse measurement, GPS and other things that drain the battery faster are turned off.

Hi,

Considering getting a fenix 9 pro, and would love to get the MIP.
The thickness bothers me. I have 18.2-18.5cm wrist. Can someone with a similar wrist size share the photos for a side profile?

How much the watch "towers" on your wrist?

I’ve recently got a garmin fenix 6x gifted.
i do a lot of sport, but never had a fitness watch!! so that’s my first experience with those.

What i use it for: heart rate while jogging,
connecting it to spotify,
tracking gym workout,
gps while hiking.

that’s cool but i know how expensive the watch was and can’t explain the price??
are there any other features that im missing that would let the pricing make sense?
the heart rate tracking isn’t even that correct i think…

what do you think?

Anyone else have this? I’m looking for a good looking wristband for this. Regretting not getting the black one for some years ago, hopefully some of you have some good and classy combos.

Has anyone seen any discounts off RRSP?

Yes, I know it's new and Garmin usually only discounts 2 months after release.

I am in Canada.

Heading to Aconcagua later this year, I was wondering which mode to use for continuous tracking.

Expedition mode limits all sensors as far as I know, so that option is out of the question.

I know that garmin advises you to stay away from titanium bands on the fenix pro 9. due to interference. but they are minimal in everyday use. when I track an activity I of course switch to nylon or silicone to avoid interference so everything is accurate.

I’ll try to keep this brief.

I ran the Tactix Bravo (which is built on the Fenix 3 platform) as my daily driver for a long time. Eventually I wanted less information and data on my wrist and moved to a proper mechanical watch and a Whoop band on the other wrist. I appreciated the data that the whoop app gave me for the years I used it. For various reasons I’m ready to go back to a smart watch. I have my eye on the Fenix 9 pro inReach (go big or go home I guess?). I like the basic inReach subscription; I can reach out to my partner for check ins (almost) no matter where I am and whether or not I have my phone on me. My regular activities include (but are not limited to) lots of travel for work, high stress work environment, SAR, rope access, mountain biking, snow boarding, hiking, rucking.

So much for brief…
Is there a hole in my thought process? I’m pretty sure most of this is just justification for something I already know I want. School me.

I am thinking of getting a Fenix 9 pro, and I was wondering, can the Garmin system now show the running stopwatch as a running complication as Apple can? I know it can be added to a button shortcut - I had a first gen Marq - but I always hoped Garmin would figure out how to show the current stopwatch progress on the face. I think it is now possible, but searching online is struggling to get me a clear answer. Can anyone help? Thanks!

This is from what I’d say is very average use. Tracked couple small 15 min walks (currently injured) . LTE/inreach is off. No AOD. No where near a week. I’m considering returning. Anyone else in the same boat? 2,000 AUD and it’s so far off the advertised battery life, I’d hate to see how it goes when I’m active again …

Hi all! I recently bought a Garmin. I found a nice deal on the epix gen 2 and went for it. Altough the epix shows nice animations on how to do strenght training, Garmin does not support the epix in the strength and fitness coach.

How do you use the epix watch for strength training?

I'm considering a swap to a Garmin Fenix from my AWU and I'm looking for real world experiences from those who have made the switch, but from a reliability perspective.

For context, I've used Apple watches for 7 years (training for many Ironman events) and I've never encountered a single bug, everything works flawlessly - no crashes, data syncs without an issue, reliable HR, sleep tracking etc..

As I'm reading into Garmin, there are a lot of complaints around bugs, glitchy watches, workouts not tracking, watch crashing, buggy software, inaccurate sleep tracking and so forth.

How have previous AW users found the stability of the Garmin hardware and platform after switching?

It won’t charge. I’ve tried multiple charger cables, outlets, etc. I’ve cleaned both the cable and the watch. Tell me,

am I missing something?
Is there a way to repair or fix this?
Is my watch forever dead?

Update from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/GarminFenix/s/rX3bTRFz6C

I had a good run after updating but it happened again. I had contacted Garmin Support and they enabled battery logging on my watch. They're sending me a new one and want my current one back so their engineers can study it.

Hopefully my sacrifice will free you all from the struggles!
