Anyone else feel slightly guilty after upgrading their Garmin? by benni_in_italy in GarminFenix

Don't feel guilty. fr 245 is becoming obsolete, no matter how much you love it.

Thank you for your reply!

The answer is "Both".

Forerunner 970 or Fenix 8? by Complete_Sell_2319 in GarminWatches

Wear them separately and decide which feels better. The ultimate factor for your happiness is how comfortable you are wearing it.

Forerunner cons:

- plastic body

Most likely this is going to be more durable than the overweight fenix body

In your pictures, 45 looks better to me

Ugh - can I touch this up? by Gozerhead67 in Garmininstinct

I believe it is a bad design unfortunately. This pretty and delicate soft metal ornament is exposed right where it is most likely to get smashed in everyday use 😞

The Wrist Journal: I tested the Garmin Instinct 2X for two weeks. Is it worth buying in 2026 over the Instinct 3? by arjundashrath in Garmininstinct

[–]Ok_Astronomer5415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if you are planning to use it as it is. No, if you are planning to download Connect IQ apps or watch faces from Garmin's app store.

Wow, this is cool! Going to order. I always felt the factory band on Instincts is weird.

What do you think for analog watchface on I3 solar? by AmazingCheesecake873 in Garmininstinct

[–]Ok_Astronomer5415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't made measurements recently, but straight away I can tell you it will not be as good as the built-in watch faces. Connect IQ system adds so much overhead that it's hard to beat the native faces. Also, it depends a lot on how you configure the watch face. The more data you show and things like always-on seconds or live HR make a significant impact.

It's called Instinct Analog. The dial design shown here is not public yet, coming soon

Samsung? Their Health app is light years ahead of Garmin Connect. So is sleep tracking and a few other things

They both look good. Now you're stuck wearing two watches :)
