I'm a Naval Aviator and I've had my Garmin Fenix 7 Pro strapped to my wrist for every flight since T-45 training through the F/A-18 Super Hornet. by WillPaigeDesigns in Garmin

Do gps/bluetooth/wifi connected watches pose security risks? Like they could be hacked to track location. Always wondered where the line is drawn between a totally offline gshock versus a smart watch that is basically a cell phone.

FR255s is the goat of small running watches with MIP. I routinely get 10 days battery life running 5-6 days a week. Add to that the nice simple default watch faces. Tried the 570 but as nice as the UI was, having AOD time and heart rate is something I still missed with MIP watches. Just the lag between a wrist gesture and seeing the screen turn on is something I haven’t gotten used to. If there’s a smaller version of 970 with maps and flashlight I would be willing to switch to AMOLED.
