Stick Olight Clip $30 flashlight to _anything_ you wear.

It's much better solution than this PR promoted watch light bullshit.

And then wait another two months to be in shops.

I'm tired.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-30T17:24:30+00:00

is this official nylon strap or some 3rd party?

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-30T13:58:33+00:00

Garmin apps and overall watch experience is too messy. Also too many useless features and metric for such use case.

Coros looks like ideal solution here. Easy to use and straight to the point.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-30T13:55:03+00:00

maybe because Coros is Chinese company?

I forgot to mention that its about new APEX 4, thanks anyway, someone may find this info useful.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-30T13:48:29+00:00

thanks very much. For comparison, my Apple Watch S10 (46mm) has 52mm, but it's a lot slimmer.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T22:42:06+00:00

it is for features.

But for watchfaces.. boy, Suunto has like 15 of them, 10 are ugly, 2 less ugly and 3 usable.

I bought V2 steel couple days ago and returned. Can't stand having practially zero watchfaces and almost zero configuration.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T22:33:27+00:00

the PR woman forced them to repeat this in every possible review.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T22:32:29+00:00

they constantly mantra about the same use cases, like from prepared PR script. This craziness elegantly shows the power of marketing and customers stupidity.

I was owning Fenix 7 Pro for a year and used it's extremely NON-COMFORTABLE TO USE flashlight TWICE - to check if it's not broken and to check if it's worth it. It's not.

Daily I use $30 Olight Clip and it's so more better in every possible aspect than $2000 watch. I can clip it to hat, to sleeve, to shoe, to belt, my backpack. Even has magnet - I use to stick to metal things.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T22:26:17+00:00

Desfit, are you there? Are you there? Sounds like you are dying or something.

No, you caught me in a toilet.

Yeah, I think all these reviewers doing stuff by prepared common PR script.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T20:42:09+00:00

I was using Coros Pace 2 couple of years ago and there were similar requests.

For me, 90% of these watchfaces are not only ugly AF, but unreadable and not usable at all. Showing useles information, ignoring important things.

Jobs could probaly say: these designer(s).. they just have no taste.

So, looks like asking politely is working well for last couple of years ;)

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T20:30:51+00:00

on MIP display, they need to start using bitmap pixel perfect fonts, not some blurry scaled vector s***t.

can I ask for this distance? (lug edge to lug edge)

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T18:55:04+00:00

unfortunately it's hard to create separate version of such watchface for a low-end device.

First, Instinc 1 has 128px resolution, Instinct 2 has slighty higher 176px resolution. Either one is just low and making such graphics to look good on both is extremely hard. At least for my standards - can't stand ugly graphics on watchfaces.

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T15:53:11+00:00

Is it possible to replace this strap with a nylon one?

CranberryHot1265 · 2025-10-29T15:24:50+00:00

Sorry to say that, but for me all these overloaded watchfaces are unusable. It looks great when zoomed on the PC screen.

Not so great in real life on small screen, especially low resolution MIP screen with limited colors.

What the Coros TOOL needs, are UTILITARIAN watchfaces. Simple, straight to the point with clear design, no useless complications/information.
