It’s a retention method to get you to test the new features, then convince you that you should “rent” it, yes, it doesn’t belong to you. It's not a problem as long as you're pragmatic. You are made to believe that there is elitism within society. On the other hand, what we cannot take away from them is the pleasant software part, the indications and a well-thought-out UI. On the other hand, those who take the argument, “I don’t want a screen”. Please note, this is just my opinion. But from the first year you have a good watch. At two years of subscription, you gain access to a premium watch such as Garmin with the same metrics, which is yours. Mapping if necessary, etc… For my part, I have a Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED, if the screen bothers me. I activate screen off mode. I have the WHOOP 4, the MG is coming soon. I only take it to compare metrics.
r/whoop • This MG thing feels like such a slap in the face as a user for the last 4 years. ->I actually just snagged one. I have a Tactix 8 47mm and as much as I love it, I don’t use nearly all the features. Planning on selling it and enjoying the extra cash
r/GarminWatches • Garmin Forerunner 955 is currently down to $349, should I go for it? ->Yeah I got the E3 and was just a little disappointed with the color (still) and the fact that the battery life wasn’t that much better in practice than my Fenix 7X. I now have the Tactix 7 AMOLED and I get all the features and a nicer display, still maxxing battery at 34 days with AOD off which is fine. Also Tactix looks amazing imo. Glad you like the enduro!
r/Garmin • Enduro 3 - two months in review ->Tactix 8 amoled 47mm coming from the Tactix 7 amoled but have used AWU 1/2, and coros as well.
r/trailrunning • what fitness watch you all using? ->Tactix 8 amoled 47mm coming from the Tactix 7 amoled but have used AWU 1/2, and coros as well.
r/trailrunning • what fitness watch you all using? ->I’m using a awu 1 and a tactix 8 for work
r/applewatchultra • Ultra 2 vs Garmin ->https://preview.redd.it/qhdpnpt9ffjf1.jpeg?width=2299&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=436fd3478fc773d5e022020ce95aa98f8cba3e86 Tactix 8 is by far the best smartwatch IMO
r/GarminWatches • Updated from Fenix 6 ->I was so excited when I finally left Apple to Garmin for the Tactix 8 but I wasn’t happy to find a lot of the features I wanted only apply to Android phones. Being able to send a quick txt or voice response is Android only. :(
r/GarminWatches • Apple to Garmin ->Just got rid of my Tactix 8. I compared ultra 3 to Tactix and there’s no comparison in HR accuracy. I’ve done runs with the Milanese and in my opinion the ocean band has a more secure fit for runs which can improve HR accuracy. That may be the issue.
r/applewatchultra • Apple Watch Ultra 3 — One Week In (Runner’s Perspective) ->I literally did the same thing with my fenix 3/6 and tactix but being able to run without a phone and still have access to emergency services or family through the watch is far superior than battery life during my 20-25 hours/week training.
r/Garmin • Apple Watch Ultra 3 after 8 years of Garmin, 24 hours review. ->Not really good advice because there are diminishing returns. For example, I can afford all the garmin watches multiple times over using your method but from the garmin line up I prefer the Tactix 8 - “best money can buy” would imply Garmins MARQ line up but those watches actually have older sensors when compared to the current generation Fenix and Tactix line up despite the materials used to make them.
r/GarminWatches • I’m a very beginner runner, is the Forerunner 970 stupidly overkill? ->Micro led is a rich person con it’s not better tactix all the way if those are the 2 you’re considering
r/Garmin • Best Garmin Watch on the Market Right Now? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
