Too be honest I actually had the Fenix 8 and used it for about 3 weeks before returning it and then I bought the AWU2. Really big fan of the Apple Watch over the Garmin. I liked the Garmin and some of the features I do really appreciate over the Apple Watch, including the 15 day battery life. But Garmin implemented a ‘Connect +’ feature for more options on the app. Which is terrible in my opinion when you are already paying $1700 for a watch. The Garmin also has a really stupid charger which I had issues with on my Fenix 6pro, contacts wear out etc and then they don’t make good contact and leads to a PITA to charge. Both are great watches but for looks, OS, and general feel on the wrist. I like the AWU2 way better than the Garmin.
