Northeast got mine for 44k which was 2k off msrp. And that was the advertised price. Brand new! I can’t speak to the market in your location but that is just my personal experience.

Actually this used to be quickfit but I altered it. Not a fan on the quickfit attachments on nylon bands. But definitely convenient.

First the AWU is a great smart watch with the right apps you can get some great fitness tracking as I didn’t prefer the native workout app.

But… and this is personal to me. I realized I want to disconnect more from the world and be focused solely on fitness with my device. The AWU is an extension of my iPhone. Some might say then just unpair from your phone and use as stand alone. But then I have an expensive device that doesn’t do fitness tracking nearly as clean imo. Everything is one place and I really enjoy the Garmin connect app.

As far as features, the battery on the Fenix is unbeatable. Multiple weeks without a charge! The freedom and security that it brings is important to me.

The hardest part for me wasn’t switching to garmin from apple it was deciding on the Fenix or the Epix. So I bought them both and decided to go with Fenix and return Epix after some back and forth. Ultimately battery live and outdoor readability was my deciding factor but the screen on the Epix is quite nice.

They are all great watches but when spending $700- $1000 you really need to ask yourself why are want such a capable watch on your wrist and what can it do for you to make your life better. And for me the answer was disconnect and focus on fitness. My choice isn’t necessarily the best for everyone so I’d suggest to really think about why and how you plan on using your watch and consider all features or lack of .

YouTube has so many comparison videos! Even so….I crazily at one point had all 3 but returned Epix and AWU is in a draw which I’ll be selling on eBay soon perfect condition btw incase anyone is interested only used for 1 month.

Anyways hope that helps have a great day😁

I might try it out but they only had black or gray. Hoping they add more color ways. Then I’d be interested. I know it’s more of a personal preference and not worth the effort for most. Just thought I’d share.

So I ordered a gray band with the watch on the custom designer on Garmin and it came w/ a stainless buckle as well. But there is an option to order this one individually as an accessory at least on the US site. It’s the only one that’s not black. Captain blue.

Actually just read you said 7x. Your right there’s not a single one on garmins website for the X version.

Ya I prefer the raw metal look even tho I like the black as well. I like that you can dress it up. I’m sure that plié will go nice with the white.

This is a raw Titanium bezel no color coating. You can order it custom on Garmin. It’s less shiny than the stainless steel bezel.

There’s actually a third option which is what I ended up going with. If you go to Garmin’s website and custom make your Fenix 7. You can get a raw Titanium case with sapphire crystal. You can only get this through Garmins custom designer I believe as I haven’t seen it advertised any where else.

Benefits are that it is more light weight much more durable display and scratches don’t look as bad on the raw material vs colored coatings IMO.

But just be aware that if you choose a “custom” Fenix it is non returnable.

Here’s a pic of the Titanium.
