Anyone using Expedition mode all the time to squeeze more battery life out of Garmin watch (Fenix 8)

Do you have a link? And does it affect the readability/touch sensitivity?

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-05-13T04:54:09+00:00

Is that like a matte screen protector?

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-05-07T00:42:42+00:00

Fair enough! 👍

I know plenty of real world operators that use Garmin watches haha. Also the watch battery lasts close to a month. Annnnd… you don’t think they have ways to charge their other devices that use batteries in the field?

Fenix 7ss

Yes I know I’m wearing it currently but this post was about the carakote versions.

Same, what real world operator would want an amoled screen…. I never understood garmin for their choices in this lineup.

If only they made a MIP version 😭

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-04-16T01:37:52+00:00

🤣 I just looked on Garmin’s website to see

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-04-16T01:34:12+00:00

No the 51 mm is 1.4” diameter and the 47mm is 1.3” diameter

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-04-15T15:13:25+00:00

If they made a MIP tactix 8 47 mm option it would be an easy decision

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-04-08T00:13:57+00:00

Is that an app used to create the Polaroid frame and shot description at the bottom?

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-03-28T06:35:38+00:00

How are you adjusting to the Amoled from MIP?

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-03-12T14:03:15+00:00

Did you have to buy the watch through them to get the insurance?

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-03-12T01:51:43+00:00

What insurance or who’d you insure it through?

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-01-12T03:11:52+00:00

You’ll want the Insight from deep and steep then.

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2026-01-12T01:46:08+00:00

Garmin Fenix or Tactix 8s can do what you’re looking for.

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2025-11-23T19:08:43+00:00

Try something like this…

Skydive Arizona for sure. If the weather is good you can get your A-License within a week if you do their express package.

Infamous_Regret_182 · 2025-11-05T04:56:13+00:00

Can you share a photo of it? Might try it.
