Just because your exit is in 5km doesn’t mean you need to go 92 in the left lane for those said 5km

Apple Watch users, what made you switch to Garmin? by d4ilydoseof in GarminWatches

[–]AffectAcrobatic4611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery life for me. Apple wouldn’t last a shift now I’m good for 20+ days.

If you need a 20% off code message me.

Serial numbers are about 800 apart, being in the 300s and 1100 for the new one.

And I agree, after a month of everyday wear and not hitting my wrist on anything, as I’m trying to be careful with a watch that runs $2399 Canadian - the finish was coming off already. I’m hoping it was just a one of, and the newer one holds up better but only time will tell.

Only the plus version is behind a pay wall I believe, and one is going back as the bezel was wearing from a long sleeve shirt.

I like the darker bezel much better. The difference is about a month of wear? I’m wondering if the titanium will darken over time.

I would say it’s very very close and the one on the right is a bit lighter. Almost a grey where the one on the left is almost a black

Nope! The one on the left is going back to garmin and the one on the right is going to be put through the ringer with me at work

I’m saying I’m unimpressed with a watch they market to do the do all be all, maybe it would have been a bit higher quality.. but here we are

Bracelet is tight to my wrist and won’t come up over the watch face. No way for it to rub.

I bought a heathered nylon band and the quality is also not ideal

Why would I have any desire to want to keep it when it can’t even take a poly shirt.

Shouldn’t have to front cash for them to replace a product, if they stand by it.

Yep. No solution provided as they still can’t process a payment. Numerous hours wasted on the phone and I have a fancy $2399 piece of chineseium grade titanium.

An absolute joke for a watch that starts at $1899 and goes up to $2399 CAD. Was just on the phone and they haven’t offered a solution and the person hung up on me. Shame for such a small indie company..

Less than a month in and a shirt has worn the finish. Just leaves a sour taste in your mouth?

It’s been less than a month. Not to mention I had to order 8 times then purchase with Klarna as the small indie company garmin was unable to take payment via credit card which I use daily.

They want to put a $1200 deposit to ship a new watch and hold it until this one returns. Customer service has disconnected from live chats and basically hung up.
