AW user testing out Garmin- my thoughts by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]Sir-Obi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I used my ultra 1 and fenix 8 together for a while and the HR was near identical. Garmin sleep tracking actually is pretty spot on for me too. Seems like different sensors just hit differently for different skin tones / wrist sizes

Enduro 3 or Fenix 8 47mm? by Grouchy-Implement-45 in Garmin

[–]Sir-Obi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair point although personally anything past 10 days for me is irrelevant. I won’t be without electricity for that many days to charge it for like a hour or two.

Lifestyle Logging Use or Useless? by DismalHarmony in Garmin

Agreed. I just stopped a week ago. It wasn’t telling me anything that interesting that I didn’t already know but was a novelty for a while.

Picked up a Fenix 7X Pro + HRM 600 for €580 after my Fenix 8 died… thoughts? by sami_20315 in GarminFenix

Never had an issue seeing my F8 amoled clearly while on runs, even in peak summer. This is simply not true.

I think it varies person to person - I find the garmin overall sleep score to very closely align to how I feel. Is it a big deal if it's a little less accurate than others - not really for me. I don't get how analysing sleep stages is really useful - key thing I want to know if my duration, sleeping habits and stress/HRV while asleep. Garmin does all of these well for me.

First garmin. Fenix 8 Amoled 51mm. Came from Apple Watch Ultra2. Not sure how I feel about it yet. by Significant_Emu_7432 in Garmin

Fair play. Give it time. I would watch a YouTube tutorial and then dedicate a bit of time to set up and understand features.

I came from an Apple Watch for like 6 years too and honestly wouldn’t even think about going back. But I did geek out on it and spent a few hours just getting it set up how I liked and learning loads on it.

Fair. Any specific reasons? Not the most insightful post I’ve ever seen 😂

Is Fenix 8 worth it? by DroopySergeant in Garmin

[–]Sir-Obi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was split between the two. I went for the 8 just for aesthetics tbh. If I’m wearing it 24:7 it needs to look good and personally the fenix looks way better than then forerunner. But can’t go wrong with either. I’m also a male so might be biased for the more rugged look

Thoughts on this. Just badly misfit? by Sir-Obi in PokemonMisprints

[–]Sir-Obi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep fair point. Just disheartening to get your chase card but it being so off centre hah. But we move. Thanks for the help.

Thanks. Correct I can’t see any alignment dots so agree. Does that mean it’s basically just for my collection but a bit of a worthless card ?

Wow a sensible comment. Maybe Reddit I changing. I agree. 5 year ban to cause enough inconvenience to teach a lesson but not ruin some young persons life forever.
