I’m using a awu 1 and a tactix 8 for work
After 3 vey committed years with Garmin (Porsche edition Epix, Epix Pro, Porsche edition Epix pro, and now a Tactix 8) I decided to go back to Apple and the Hermes Ultra 3 Honestly suits my needs more, I work out three times a week but not more. And the body battery really messed with my mind so I don’t miss it at all. I miss some of the straps more than the actual watch. The ultra 3 is a much better smartwatch. You can even install third party apps which can unlock voice notes on WhatsApp on the watch itself. So far I’m happy
Oh and one more thing. The only thing I truly miss in my Garmin is the flashlight. Game changer. And now the ULTRA 3’s solution is crap compared to how Garmin pull it off
If you don’t have a budget, the fenix 8, tactix 8, or Enduro 3 models are gonna be your top of the line, damn-near-overkill, but obvious choices. They have coaching plans that allow for both strength training and cardio plans. The FR970 is also great for marathon/triathlon training and still has strength coaching. If you’re a little more budget-minded, the FR570, FR165, and Instinct 3 are also solid but the instinct doesn’t have the strength coach (don’t know about the FR570 or 165). You can also find watches used with plenty of life in them.

I prefer the old software opposed to the new one which is trying to compete with Apple Watch Ultra by adding unnecessary features. I prefer the MIP display cause you’ll find more watch faces that will look and work better with the MIP display while the AMOLED limits you. Overall I have the Tactix 8 Amoled which I’m trying to get rid of and I’m very happy to be back with my Tactix 7 pro.
*cough cough* as I walk around proudly with my Tactix 8 51mm solar! Lol. Rock it proudly maam. 😎
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
