> Satellite SOS are pretty big sellers for me.
This is what I want it for. I drive in a lot of areas where cellphone service does not exist and I need the ability to contact someone if shit goes down. Got the U1 now but I am moving to the U3 because of this.
From the Ultra 2? Hard to say.
I have an Ultra 1 and am thinking about it. But it's not an immediate thing, and if i get a decent trade in value, that will help the decision too.
Ich war jahrelang Apple Watch Nutzer (Series 5/7, AWU 1/2). Sehr gute Uhr, dachte ich immer. Bis ich dann eine Fenix 8 ausprobiert habe. Es gibt nichts besseres.
Und den Kommentar mit Spielzeuguhr befindet Apple Uhr kann ich teilen, sieht so aus und wirkt lächerlich wie ich heute finde!
Software der Garmin ist super, klar nicht die Liga der Apple Watch Watch, aber: es ist und soll eine Uhr und ein tracker sein. Siri klappt super, alle wichtigen Informationen die man braucht werden ebenfalls angezeigt.
Wozu derart leistungsfähige Prozessoren ect. wie an der Apple Watch? Was soll der Schwachsinn?
Garmin ist der Meister!!!!!
Apple Watch User for a long time, then switched to Fenix 8. I really don’t regret it! It‘s a own device with all these top functions. An Apple Watch is just an gadget for the iPhone. Not more, yet.
Just switched to a friends AWU1 to see if i liked it and for the most part i do. I’ll probably still keep my f7pro for races and stuff, but the AWU1 is better and will continue to actually improve.
I just switched to AWU, but i still sleep with my garmin on too, and will use it from time to time for important runs.
Overnight HRV is the single most important thing I would miss if i ditched altogether. Everything else (body battery, training status, etc) is just a fun gimmick.
Stress is also surprisingly useful for me, as I can tell that im getting sick if im just sitting or laying around and im constantly in the orange.
AWU with screen NOT always on has actually pretty great battery life. I could charge every 3rd day if I wanted to.
Also fast charger is so fast that if you charge it 10 mins per day while your in the shower thats probably all you'll ever need.
Apple Watch charges about 3x faster, so charge it for the 10 mins you take a shower. Garmin is about the same in that regard. They both charge for about 10mins a day to sustain you forever. They’re about equal.
The only real advantage would be if you have no access to charger for multiple days, but how often would that be realistically? You charge your phone every day, it’s not that much more of a hassle to charge your watch especially at 5 watts which is crazy fast.
And i have a fenix 7pro, but tbh battery isn’t great on it for long activities. 18 holes of golf demolishes my battery. AWU drains way less during long activities from what I’ve seen (I’m only a week in though).
I’ve used both. Awu and fenix 7pro and i went back to the fenix. Gps was more accurate and hr data was the same. Overnight hrv on garmin was much more useful (since apple doesn’t distinguish overnight). Lastly garmin connect is 100x better than Apple health and fitness. I was expecting a lot more from the awu from what i read and was very unimpressed. If it were better i would deal with the crappy battery life.
I tried to switch to awu a few months ago so i could just leave my phone home most of the time. It was fine, but i ultimately went back to garmin. Garmin Connect does a better job of presenting relevant data to you. Battery life is like 1-2 days versus 2 weeks. Flashlight is also much better.

Long battery; but wrist HR tracking is inconsistent.
