That I am not sure of unfortunately. I do know you can remove notification alerts but not sure if that will allow turn by turn alerts to show up. Maybe one of the viewers can help us out on this??
@@Dogwalkerdave if you try other brands and add same amount of POI on each it will still be most laggy, otherwise mapping is very good so hopefully they speed up those maps in future 💪🏽
They're ready for the off. Dogs love going Anywhere, for any length of time, even if it's just sitting in the back seat of the car with their head out of the window. Mine would jump around if I said, 'Beach?' (which was an hour away.)
Nice review. Totally agree with the torch thing... seemed like a novelty, yet I've used it multiple times in the week since I got this for my birthday 😄 I also have the 51mm... mainly due to my eyesight finding the 47mm one too difficult to read without glasses.
I’m getting one next month, extremely excited, I switched over to Garmin after having the Apple Watch SE for a few years. Can’t wait to try out this one!
@@Dogwalkerdave - "I ask only one thing of this establishment. That is to have frikken sharks with frikken laser beams attached to their frikken heads! Now, apparently my cycloptic colleague tells me that is not possible." (Roughly translated.)
I have this exact watch...and i completely agree....this is superb....i like the simple and the useful. Eye candy soon wares off with the oled flagship models. I may upgrade at some point - it will be a Garmin for sure... Cheers
Ended up scoring the standard 51mm for $649.99. I originally had a fenix 6x pro then upgraded to the non-pro EPIX last year. Didnt like the smaller 47mm size, so I gifted it to my mother. This is by far the best watch ive ever owned. Think im good for another 3-4 years 😁
I had one other question Do you turn the GPS off and on as you need it or is it constantly running? And is the phone face blank and then you tap it to turn it on? What are some of your secrets??
Gps only runs when you are in an activity. You can set the screen to turn on when you use wrist gestures to save battery. Instructions are in the owners manual but I’ll link it here:: www8.garmin.com/manuals-apac/webhelp/epix/EN-SG/GUID-9B2DEA92-711A-43A8-972A-B7A7AC5D8DDB-7738.html#:~:text=Select%20Alerts%20to%20turn%20on,before%20the%20screen%20turns%20off.
@@Dogwalkerdave thank you very much and also I was wondering while backpacking does it automatically add weight of the backpack and slowly take off as you eat your food or do you need to manually do that
I'm getting one in a week or so and it's my first smartwatch I'm a little freaked out because I'm not very techy! I'm a long distance hiker having through hike many long trails in the country and I'm wondering if those trails are already downloaded onto this watch? And also if you could do a setup video or if you have one lead me to that direction thank you!
Hi there. The maps are already on the watch. You need to load specific routes though. I have a video showing how to do that on my channel. Search for it. 👍. Plans are in the works for setup. Thanks for watching.
If I could go back in time, it would be a no for me for 2 reasons. Room ( height) in the toebox and the weight - they could stand to be a bit lighter. Those are my 2 cents a month later. Thanks for watching Colin. All the best with your training.
Sapphire is a terrible glass! Gorilla Glass DX is much better. To understand this, simply compare side to side. Even in your video you can see how mirror it is! And in terms of strength, Gorilla has long been no worse than sapphire.
Took my epic pro 51mm to the Kilimanjaro and I had all my stats. Charged the battery once before and it was amazing! And yes mapping!! Hell yeah!! And thanks for the cool video!
I love mine. I have always on display always on. I charge watch every Saturday morning but it still says 6 more days left. Nuts!! I did really like my ultra but Apple need to up there game.
To design a round Smartwatch or smart Sportwatch makes no sense, or is there a round Smartphone on the market. The watches in the past were only round because of the two pointers, turning cyrclewise. The Garmin Epix or Fenix watches are too pulky, too big to sleep with it. Epix an Fenix watches have no cellular, this alone is for me a no go.
Thanks brother you have just saved my frustration with that damn vibration whenever I bump or scroll on watch. Yes I should habe read the manual maybe but this was quicker!
