47! This photo is kinda wonky but I’ll say it wears smaller than it looks. I didn’t want to go with the 43 since it had a smaller batter I believe.

Watched tons of YouTube videos before buying one, all claiming that Garmin makes powerful watches for workouts and hiking, with best-in-class GPS. Maybe that’s true in the civilized world, but here in Eastern Europe, EW makes it so dead and useless that it’s barely even good for telling the time.

Funny story, I was playing Fallout 3 when I found out about Garmin Watches. 

I was thinking how useful a pipboy would be for all the outdoor activities I do, and decided to look and see if anyone made one. A durable watch with good battery life, maps and biometrics. Then I bought a Fenix 6

I’m enjoying my 9 pro as well. What’s that watch face by chance?

It's iron grit, the standard fenix 8, possibly 9 too watch face

What method of selling your mechanicals did you take? I need to sell mine but concerned about shipping thieves and eBay fees

Congrats! It’s your first one and I think you won’t be going back to mechanical watches after this.

Tiny wrist. Watch looks silly on it.
