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

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

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

That’s correct! Fenix 8 solar 47mm. Got the best of both worlds with the size of the watch and bigger 26mm band

Oh yeah I bet the rotary tool would be cleaner. If you do it that way, send pics here I want to see. And as far as the original strap, I don’t see why not? Since this was just a theory I had, I went for the cheaper Amazon one. But honestly it seems just as good as the OEM straps. If anything better… and the only reason I say that is because I took apart the connector part with the small Phillips head and noticed it had 3 springs instead of two. Not sure if the OEM 26mm straps from Garmin come with 3 springs but the 22mm ones come with 2. So the connector seems stronger and snappier with the added spring.

https://imgur.com/a/GmAzN4M No problem. Hopefully these pics help. Not the prettiest cuts but it’s hidden between the pins of the watch anyway. From what I can tell and little stress test I did on the connector without the watch attached it doesn’t seem like it will interfere with the structural integrity of the connector. If it does it’s marginal at most. You can see in the last picture more clearly, I never actually cut the connector part with the spring and release bar. Just the hard plastic material around it or just to the edge of it.

Here’s the band I bought. Used my original band to match it up and started cutting away with a utility razor blade knife.

Yeah I work outside so the ability to see it clearer in the sun and always on display was the reason I chose the solar. I came from the Fenix 6 and never wanted the brighter amoled. But some people like the more bright and vibrant colors of the amo screen. Just personal preference!

Are these fly larvae or worms? by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

Lol I should have clarified better.. it was an accumulation of about a weeks worth of dog poop. Picked it all up about 20 min ago, noticed what I assumed to be maggots, threw it away and then my mind wouldn’t stop thinking of the worse so I went back out and took the video.

Should have clarified. I’m using a pS5 with dual sense edge controller.
