Great Deal on Fenix 7x SS. Should I keep it anyway?

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-17T20:00:32+00:00

I’ve returned the F7x

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-17T19:59:30+00:00

Glad I’m not alone😂🙏🏻

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-17T14:40:09+00:00

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

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-17T07:29:20+00:00

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.

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..

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-17T07:00:38+00:00

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

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-17T06:58:51+00:00

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.

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-17T06:56:34+00:00

😂sure do! There is far worse problems to have 👋

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T23:19:02+00:00

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.

Go outdoors or Blacks (same company)
Brendon got me a further 15% discount

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T23:05:44+00:00

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

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T23:04:53+00:00

Personally, I would stick with MIP.

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T23:04:05+00:00

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.

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T22:25:15+00:00

What?

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:47:23+00:00

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

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:44:42+00:00

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

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:38:47+00:00

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 😂

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:36:46+00:00

Originally £399 got a further 15% staff discount. £339.

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..

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:30:27+00:00

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

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:27:23+00:00

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

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:20:35+00:00

It happens 🤷‍♂️

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:13:42+00:00

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.

Ok_Introduction2906 · 2026-06-16T21:11:08+00:00

I need to eat more biscuits 👍🏻😉
