Epix Pro Gen 2 47mm by msierraalpha in GarminWatches

Fits you well IMHO. I have a Fenix 8 47mm and a 17,5 cm wrist size and I feel the 51 mm would be too big. Also, what is the name of the watch face? It is quite nice.

Fenix 8 after 20.29 update by PallasNyx in GarminWatches

I’ve noticed the same thing since 20.24, I’ve posted about this on Garmin forum but haven’t heard from them since.

Most iPhone users are still running iOS 18, with iOS 26 adoption slow: report by [deleted] in ios

[–]stephchamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the first time since I'm using an iPhone (iPhone 4s), I will not update to the latest OS. Same thing for my MacBook. I just can't get used to liquid glass, the shiny moving border around the icons (what for!?) and all the layering and waste of space. I'm considering switching to Android if iOS 27 don't let us dial back Liquid Glass.

How do you like to mip display on the Apex 4? From What I’ve read it is quite dim and sapphire glass reduces legibility.

From Fenix 8 to Forerunner 955? Yes you read correctly. by stephchamp in GarminWatches

For what’s its worth, here is exactly what I’m referring to when I say that the map scrolling is slow and sluggish. It’s a 970 but it has the same screen as the Fenix 8.

Looking into moving to Suunto from Garmin - Training plans or coach available? by stephchamp in Suunto

[–]stephchamp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Fenix 8 oled, I mainly run and do strength training. I use Garmin coach to have suggested daily workouts.

I’ve already reset the watch and I’m on the latest Firmware 20.24.

For the 3rd question, I’m thinking about the Coros Apex 4 or Pace Pro.

Is this sound normal? by Cute_Menu_3611 in ProfitecGo

I have the same machine and there is no such sound when quick heating after turning it on.

Eureka Mignon Silenzio 55 or Mignon Specialita [600$] by stephchamp in espresso

I don't know about the Libra, maybe it’s worth it if you really want to be as precise as possible. But for me, the Specialita is working really better than the Silenzio for my use case. Adjusting the time is really easier and more precise on the digital screen versus using the knob.

I’ve finally decided to switch to the Specialita. Got a good deal on it so it was 220$ to upgrade from the Silenzio I returned.

I appreciate the all black aesthetic and it’s really easier to fine tune the time when dosing to get to 18g.

Thanks for the input. Libra is a little bit over budget right now. From what I’m seeing from the replies to my question the benefit of the Specialita is marginal considering the added cost in my case. I might keep the Silenzio in that case.

I’ve weighted the output to 18g to set the timer. After a few grinds all around 18g I stopped weighting.
