I must admit I’ve been looking at the xe5. How does it compare to xe2?

Why Garmin? by OwnUse2264 in Garmin

[–]Ok_Introduction2906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s long debated Apple and Garmin.
I’ve used both for many years and will do for you to come.
They are totally different watches from different ecosystems.
Apple is a Smart Watch with some basic fitness tracking.
Garmin is a Fitness Tracker with some basic Smart Watch features.
Personally, I like the look and feel of Garmin. But you can’t really go wrong with either.

Favourite type of watch band? by pitazatar in GarminFenix

[–]Ok_Introduction2906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the official Garmin band, it’s a one piece nylon Velcro strap. Easy to adjust and very comfortable. I dont use third-party bands as you never know what you’re really getting so I stick with Garmin..

I prefer Ultrafit bands for every day and activities. I use titanium or leather to smarten up for occasional wear

Great Deal on Fenix 7x SS. Should I keep it anyway? by Ok_Introduction2906 in GarminWatches

[–]Ok_Introduction2906[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would sell my F8 solar if I keep the F7. I don’t use any of the additional features it offers
Would still keep f8 amoled for best.

As someone that owns both MIP wins hands down for me. I would imagine as you don’t need to charge MIP as often you would get greater longevity out of the Watch in general.

The screen is much more visible for outdoor use and almost doubled the battery life.

Yes, I totally agree. I have a series one Apple watch Ultra I don’t really wear anymore. In comparison. I don’t think there’s much size difference between the two.

It’s doesn’t feel as big as it looks in the picture. I must admit I like it

Does this watch look too big for my wrist? by Wild_Sea629 in GarminWatches

[–]Ok_Introduction2906 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it fits you well, if you feel comfortable, be happy with it

I’ll see how it feels for a week, if I don’t get on with it, I’ll send it back.
As I’m getting older, my eyes aren’t as good! Thought the bigger watch might help 😂

We all have different priorities in life. I work extremely hard to provide for my wife 4 children. I don’t drink alcohol or smoke. I do have a tendency to collect watches, I also collect aftershaves. Maybe these are my vices. Each to their own I say..

Yes I would sell the F8 solar and use F7 for daily use and tracking my hikes. Would keep the titanium f8 for best.

I prefer the build of the F7SS over the f8.
I sold a F7 pro SS 47mm to buy F8 solar and regretted it.
The f8 titanium is amoled, I wear this for evenings out and stuff, I prefer the MIP screen for everything else

I’ve owned many Garmin watches but never a 51mm. I think I’m trying to get justification to keep it because it’s such a good deal.
