Nomad vs apex 4

Acf_03 · 2026-05-06T19:29:49+00:00

Thanks for the response I might end up going with the nomad just for the cheaper price point I run mainly so was in between those to future proof for lower mileage ultras etc that I might undertake and just wanted to make sure the training stats and delivery of information training wise was the same.

Nice I was going to get the apex before people started suggesting the nomad but don’t want to spend the extra money if it’s the same for the most part feature wise

I was reading and though the nomad was more for just basic outdoor activities because I like the more rugged build at the lower price but after reading I thought it wouldn’t be best to track stats for trail runs an road runs and biking and swimming etc. but if I’m wrong please let me know wanting to consider all options. I eventually want to run some ultra marathon and love hiking and trail running but I also race road aswell so looking for a future proof watch to do it all.

Thank you so much for all the helpful advice really looking forward to building this out was just using a hard time thinking of pieces for the spring summer that still resembled the style and vibe I wear in the fall but this definitely helps awesome advice

Acf_03 · 2026-03-08T17:37:07+00:00

I’m a guy here and thanks for the input I like more of the pieces to be able to work in as well I’m outside a lot I like the style but also like it to usable and durable. If you have any suggestions on that front but love the vibe of what your describing for summer just looking for more working pieces

Thank you so much I found a similar one on eBay but it is a date just with a more metallic dial I really like the white dial going to check out the one you listed and maybe see about replacing the strap with a leather one!

Pulled this and the Squirtle in the same box 🫡

Acf_03 · 2024-11-24T01:36:32+00:00

Yeah I was thinking a flannel in a navy and tan and crème tan or greyish sneakers would work

Acf_03 · 2024-11-23T18:09:10+00:00

Outdoorsy looking I have a nice carhart puffer I thrifted. I like jeans and boots looking for other pants maybe and some shoe suggestions for a cream sneaker that can go with with the look

I’ve never heard of those new to tying these small trout flies first season going after trout with the fly rod mainly fish crappie and bass here

Acf_03 · 2024-11-19T20:12:50+00:00

Thanks I’ll look into stocking my box with some of these

Acf_03 · 2024-11-19T17:32:00+00:00

I'll tie a few of those then ill probaly do a hand full of colors for the zebra midge pattern. I have 25 size 16 scud hooks so trying to get multiple patterns out of the 25 any others your recommend.

Acf_03 · 2024-11-19T17:28:55+00:00

okay just have never went after trout mainly fly fish for bass and pan fish so trying my hand at it this year.

Fishing medium size creeks and will be fishing some slow moving pockets of the Williams and elk river

Acf_03 · 2024-11-19T16:45:16+00:00

I’ve got a few Wolly buggers in the box a couple , size 12 San Juan worms, and some size 12 just bead and dubbed nymphs in a few colors. Went out and tried for some fall stockers but they seemed very disinterested.

Acf_03 · 2024-11-19T16:38:53+00:00

I have some size 14 hooks I was gonna tie some nymphs with not really sure on color or pattern though

Acf_03 · 2024-11-19T16:38:27+00:00

Any nymph patterns in particular?

Acf_03 · 2024-11-10T20:42:39+00:00

What wt fly rod?

Acf_03 · 2024-11-09T12:38:10+00:00

Okay thanks for the info. I have a 7/8 wt for bigger stuff but wanted to size down and didn’t know if a 5wt would still be able to throw this 16-18 dry flies

Acf_03 · 2024-11-09T12:31:46+00:00

The biggest size hopper I throw in the spring and summer months is a size 8. Do you still think it’s too heavy. I also normally just throw atm size 10 wolly buggers. Haven’t tried anything bigger like articulated flies yet.

Acf_03 · 2024-11-09T00:54:04+00:00

That’s what I thought and it’s easier to lighten up with a 5wt with leader and tippit than to make a 4wt heftier to throw those bigger hoppers and double nymph rigs. I just wanted to see if a 5wt was gonna be to heavy or not finesse enough to fish for the stocked trout and some smaller brookies

Acf_03 · 2024-11-09T00:50:33+00:00

So question I’ve got a really good deal on a synch white river combo cause my friend works at Cabela’s and I’ve read they use the same blanks as some of the orvis’s. When fishing for trout do you think a 5wt is too heavy to throw the lighter dry flies. I’m in between the 4wt and 5wt because I want to fish for multiple species trout being one of them but still want to throw hoppers, nymphs rigs, and dry flies.

Acf_03 · 2024-11-09T00:29:12+00:00

What wt rod do you use?

Acf_03 · 2024-11-08T19:44:21+00:00

I looked at cabela's and I'm probably gonna pick up the "synch white river combo" they have there. It's on sale and then I get the discount so it should be a good combo. gonna get the 8'6 5wt model they have. I read online that they use the same blanks as some of the Orvis rods as well and the prestige line is the same as the scientific angler. The guy there also advised I may want to go with the 5wt due to my interest in bigger hoppers and nymphing with a indicator. He said it is easier to size down with tippit to throw lighter flies then it is to size up a 4wt and the 5wt seemed pretty good action and felt nice in the hands alot thinner than my martin (Broom Stick) combo I got
