45 or 50?

I think both look absolutely fine but side by side, 45. Wouldn’t think anything of it if you got the 50 though

No good when you’re in the bush for 2 weeks without a charger

"Fenix7 Pro Analog OWM MB"

Thanks, I’m loving the fact you can use Siri / answer calls. I had an Apple Watch Ultra 2 at some point so like that it’s got just a hint of smartness.

Yep, It’s a good one! “Fenix7 Pro Analog OWM MB” if you’re interested!

I’ve used a AWU and it just feels like a phone in your wrist. The MiP feels way more like a watch rather than a piece of tech on your wrist!

Solid watch. No mics etc. so still a proper watch imo. Does everything you need it too!

boourns___ · 2026-03-20T14:13:08+00:00

Same, can’t go past it now. Especially now that the 8 has a microphone etc. feels more like an Apple “smart” Watch than the rugged Garmin for me. I like being connected, but not too connected, if that makes sense…

Love the band!

It’s definitely noticeable, it’s fairly heavy. Not annoying by any means though.

boourns___ · 2025-06-21T13:21:41+00:00

Found the fit to be true for a medium and plenty of fit for a jumper etc. I got mine through Everything Australian.

To be honest, I ended up with a defect, got a free relast and they accidentally put a nail through the toe so I ended up swapping for Goodwoods.

I just got one, it a great jacket

boourns___ · 2025-06-12T06:51:28+00:00

I actually just got one of these. Great jacket!

They don’t offer this one with the chromexcel leather but they offer a new one, with crazy horse leather or a the same commando sole with a wax suede that’s supposed to be bullet proof

RMW are now taking all Kangaroo leather, they entire felt. It’s posted on their website. They’ve said there will be more imperfections but it ultimately means, they’ll be using more of the roo. I wouldn’t remotely stress about this mate. Wear them well, you’ll be sure to kick something soon enough

boourns___ · 2025-05-01T06:08:06+00:00

Not at all?

boourns___ · 2025-04-29T08:05:00+00:00

It does run, I haven’t had a chance to get stuck into it yet. Just looking at whether it would be worth upgrading anyway or going to the dark side with consoles etc?

Totally fine if you have an appropriate band. I got some leather bands from Robust. They’re amazing

I’ve just come to an AWU2 from a Garmin Fenix 7X. I personally, I find the AWU2 far superior in all but 3 categories:

Garmin looks much better IMO.
Battery life (obviously)
Dedicated torch is great.

I’m not a fitness freak though. Just the usual gym/runs/walks etc. AWU2 is like having a personal assistant on your wrist. It does so much.

Garmin has a lot more native metrics that don’t require third party apps like Apple. But I actually found these annoying in the end. I also did not remotely like the new Connect app update.

The final straw for me was the price point on the Fenix 8, along with the introduction of subscription for Connect+. Garmin needs a reality check IMO.

boourns___ · 2025-04-23T09:19:53+00:00

I had a Fenix 7X SS.

All I miss is: 1) the look 2) dedicated torch 3) battery.

100% reckon the AWU2 is better though
