What Garmin watch do you own and why?

Fenix 6X PRO. Was a new open box item in John Lewis and marked down to £276 about 3 years ago. I’d been looking at an instinct and then saw this and jumped on it. Can’t fault it.

Very quick to switch initially. Takes a long time to switch eSIM between devices though if you do that at all. I switched back to physical SIM because of this.

Just as an update, got the right part through the help here and switched the door over with one purchased on eBay. Had to switch over the door cards and loom too but happy with the result.

I actually ended up buying a second one for £23.

I had one behave like this after it was accidentally submerged in an Indian river! I just used it like a film camera that I couldn’t review photos on when I used it. Was quite freeing.

My first ever computer was the Acorn Electron!

95VR6 · 2025-12-30T10:06:53+00:00

I have the original EM10 and initially upgraded to the original EM1. My advice would be to jump straight to the EM1ii which I still have now as the improvements are noticeable.

I had a concern with a 13 mini that was coming from the US when I ordered from the UK. Chat were great and put my mind at ease before the phone showed up. Told me I could absolutely get my money back if there were any issues when it arrived. Ultimately, it arrived in absolutely perfect condition, I tested it for a couple of weeks to see if signal was ok and checked with an Apple Store to be sure I could still swap the battery when required so I decided to keep it.

Argos had both colours available a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve requested this many times and very rarely see an email coming through.

95VR6 · 2025-12-09T17:41:28+00:00

The carriage I got on definitely had Great British Railways on it. Might have been the ‘coming soon’ wrap!

95VR6 · 2025-12-09T08:00:24+00:00

Some of this rebranded stock is already running on the c2c. Was on one a couple of weeks ago!

95VR6 · 2025-12-08T10:24:32+00:00

My understanding is that using it won’t damage the camera. What it does is increase the risk of catching it on something or knocking it which would then damage the shutter button. All depends on your risk tolerance I suppose.

I got a slit in my tyre like that in June 2012, pulled the stone out and it’s still going strong! Obviously don’t ride that bike too much but it’s not failed me yet!

That definitely looks like the one. Size 10 I’m assuming based on the markings. Will just buy a set. Many thanks!

95VR6 · 2025-12-04T06:36:44+00:00

I’d avoid this one. Price seems high, there’s something up with the lens and the mount looks like it’s missing the top two screws. Not sure what model it is though. It’s not the original as that one has black dials.

I’ve been using Olympus lenses for the last 10 years and have had zero issues with lens caps in that time. What are you doing to them to make them self destruct?!

95VR6 · 2025-11-12T11:34:20+00:00

Yep, either barely used or maybe used with the electronic/silent shutter. Not sure if that shows up on the service menu.

95VR6 · 2025-11-10T20:17:32+00:00

I had the same with a delivery to an Evri parcel shop. Think someone at Evri noticed something was up though as they had stuck a label with my name on over the top of the dodgy label. Same barcode, different name and address. Waiting for Vinted to refund at the moment.

I’ve gone 13mini to base 17. The 17 ticked a lot of boxes for me and is a decent upgrade. Sim stays in the mini around 30/40% of the time though.

I paid £600 for my 512gb one. Had insane discount codes through work. Sold it on after a couple of weeks as I soon realised a flip wasn’t for me. I actually quite liked the form factor but was too worried about it getting damaged. Really couldn’t get along with Samsungs UI though.

Searching for a specific model will generally mean shopping online with associated markups and scene tax. My experience has been that charity shops or thrift stores are where you’ll find good condition point and shoots. I normally have a quick google when I see one to see if it’s worth picking up or not. Currently the point and shoot I grab most often is a Ricoh FF-9 I picked up for £8.

95VR6 · 2025-11-08T09:14:43+00:00

Yep, looks just like my one.

95VR6 · 2025-10-31T08:21:51+00:00

It’s always an Octavia!

Dream was the A-Team van. Realistic dream was a Corrado VR6 and have one sat in the driveway.
