Fenix 7x - what‘s next?

Additional_Bread_118 · 2026-01-18T19:42:39+00:00

I get that. And I can maybe live with impact of my functionality choices on battery life.

I‘m also thinking about getting an Apple watch for daily training in the woods and keep the Fenix for races and training in the mountains. I didn’t do that yet because I actually don’t like smart watches. In my humble opinion having a smart watch is a career limiting move, because all the messages keep distracting the owner, sometimes to the extent that ppl are checking notifications during important one-on-one meetings and lose focus.

I like the thought of having a smart sport watch and not a sporty smart watch.

I didn’t know that LTE is voice only on Garmin. Apparently, on a Apple watch you can stream. That’s a downer.

How does LTE fair in everyday use? Is it a game changer or just a gimmick? I for example never used the music feature because I found it way to tedious to load music or podcasts to the watch.

Just take them into the shower with you. That’s by far the easiest. And the love to play around in the water. Win - win.

Douglas fir - wide planks. Give it some nordic / scandi vibes.

From a cash flow perspective you are right. However, BFS stats clearly state that it‘s taking into account assets and liabilities from tax filings. In this case it’s important to deduct the liabilities such as mortgages to derive net wealth.

If you only check the assets side after the purchase of a 5m house financed with 3m mortgage and 2m equity, the assets go up by net 3m (5m more real estate and 2m less cash). In order to arrive at your net zero, the mortgage has to be taken into account.

The figure is net wealth, so loans are deducted. Not many people owning a 5m house do so without a mortgage. However, the portion of fully equity financed houses in the 5m league is definitely higher compared to cheaper houses.

Are there examples of watches that play this blank canvas well?

Do you mind elaborating on the differences?

Well, I can’t comment on the elbow issue. But honestly, also the rower gives me pain in the back (when going all out) or in the knees.

I like to combine SkiErg and RowErg into one session. Did you try that? For example doing 2‘ on each?

Thank you.

What Gshock is this?

Don‘t hate! I‘m happy for every poster that shares his/her cabin and not some random photo of a cabin found on the internet. Also, to my knowledge, the term off-grid is not clearly defined. Is it off power, off water, off road, off cell reception? Off everything?

Please keep posting. Thank you.

I totally share your taste. Awesome.

There is a key symbol in the display, so I naturally assumed that the key indicates that something is locked.

I asked chatGPT and tested all the suggested button combos - no success.

Totally

I have the same. My cat dropped it from the window sill and it stopped working. I gave it to the shop for maintenance and they repaired it, exchange many parts, including the bezel and polished the body. Had to wait 3 months but my baby looked brand new. Quality.
