I have Fenix 6x Sapphire and Vivoactive 3s for my wife, her display got cracked, decided to upgrade the watches also for touchscreen and newer sensors.
Was reviewing Fenix 8, but got frustrated how easy scrambled the bazel is, didn't like lots of things in the Pro.
Fenix 7 Pro and Epix Pro are dropped for support only maintenance.
Was wondering for Enduro 3 but saw a review of Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro for less than half the price and decide try it.
Received if two days ago and for now it is perfect, will see in future.
Still considering Venu 4 for my wife.
I currently have Garmin Fenix 6x Sapphire, wanted an update and took Huawei Watch GT6 Pro, but didn't like it and returned it. I'm currently wondering between few watches:
\- Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro
\- Garmin Fenix 7x Pro Sapphire Solar (used)
\- Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 (used)
\- Garmin Venu 4
I've read that Garmin Fenix 7 and Epix are out of feature updates, only maintenance and security updates.
Garmin Venu 4 have no maps and have weak battery(not too big of an issue)
I’m an outlier coming from fenix 6 x pro but I prefer the apple watch. I didn’t need all the garmin features for running and simple workouts. However, the two biggest selling points on the apple watch for me were the advanced health tracking like the ecg, blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc. and the accuracy of the heart rate monitor.
I compared both with a chest band and apple tracked more closely both on a daily basis and during workouts. My garmin was semi accurate but lagged and was often off for the baseline to the point where I thought I might have some heart issues.
No amount of cleaning or talking to extremely unhelpful and aggressive customer support was able to get it closer to apple. That said, I suspect it’s related to skin tone. I tend to tan and I’ve read garmin is not as good as apple in that regard.
Given how fast the apple watch charges and the fact that I’m not doing marathons, makes the lower battery life workable for me.
