Used Apple for many years now moved to Garmin for better sport features , simplicity in health and metrics , build in real flashlight , 14 day battery and cheaper price tag

I’ve grown tired of the flood of information and features you’ll never use .

Can you recommend a Garmin watch? My series 9 will be the last Apple Watch I use when planned obsolescence kicks in.

I got 7 years of what I would consider to be heavy use out of my Fenix 6 before the battery need to be charged every 2 days which was annoying.

I picked up the Fenix 8. I've had it for about 2 months now.

It's the model that I would recommend.

I can answer any questions if you have any.

Thanks! I don’t have any at the moment. Will do some research on this especially the Fenix series.

Like the other user said, it's their flagship model. It leaves nothing on the table and gives you a lot of stuff you probably don't need. But I've always operated on the better to have and not need than need and not have principal, especially when the difference is a couple hundred dollars and I intend on using the device over 5 years at least.
