Garmin Fenix 8 vs Epix Gen 2 | Should you upgrade? 

Right. But I was just looking around and an Epic 2 Sapphire is only $100 less than a Fenix 8 sapphire.

Well, discount yet another $100 if you find one for sale. That's a little better. $200 less.

@@DannyCruzCreations be patient, wait a little longer, the prices will drop. Black Friday would be a great time to look

Looking to jump ship from an Apple Watch Series 6 later this year, any recommendations for which Garmin?

​@@Telekonate I'll tell you I've been researching this for months, waiting for the F8... and now that it's out, I went AWU2. Why? I didn't want to buy an older Garmin because of the possible lack of support due to the new OS. Though I'm sure they are great of you already have one, I didn't want to START there. And then I wanted AMOLED and don't want to be a test pilot for the new F8 and its new firmware with all the bug reports. I would've have gone Enduro 3 since it's been getting better reviews, but not being able to see them in person side by side I decided not to take the risk. So, I went Apple. In the future I'll revisit Garmin when the F8 is a bit more mature. So maybe next September when the F8Pro comes out.

I honestly don’t understand why anyone would hypothetically wait that long for discounts. By the time you wait for the Fenix 8 to significantly reduce, the Fenix 9 will be announced and you’ll want to wait another 1.5 years for that one. It’s a never ending cycle of waiting for discounts and not buying anything.

@@cull15 New Garmin watches are way too overpriced. Not everyone wants to spend a thousand bucks every 1.5 half year.

Over a £1000 to upgrade for very little in the way of an upgrade. This might be a generation I straight up skip and wait for the 9

I did the same. Sad that the 8 51mm is a bit more bulky than the old 6X. Will take some time to get used too

@@jeffbramble1401 Did you get MIP version or amoled?

@@radoslavstoev4550I’m assuming the amoled, I’m hearing about the bugs and lagging issue, this is why I’m hesitant to upgrade from the 6X Sapphire

Bir sorum olacak. Bilen arkadaşlarda yanıtlarsa sevinirim. Örneğin telefonumuza whatsapp dan bir konum geldi ve konumu açtım. Bu esnada saat telefona bağlı iken otomatikman gittiğim güzergahı saatin ekranında görebiliyormuyum ? ( aw saatlerde bu şekilde )

Heya! Sorry for the late reply - been a real busy week or so. It's the Garmin UltraFit Nylon Strap (22mm) - they first launched it on the Enduro, but you can now buy it in multiple colours and sizes.

I was about to buy Epix Pro but Fenix 8 has speaker and i can take calls, it is very usefull

​@stefanconstantinescu1576 Guess what other device you have with you allows you to take your calls...

Same here epix pro gen 2 sapphire 51 m , never for a Fenix

No one telling you go to saphire titan , there is still the same version steel gorilla glass for 999, its just 100€ more expensive than was standard epix pro after release .

@@shyrahman4506 no !!!! Unless you dive, and like to take calls from the watch, but even for that you have to have your phone next to you. Your watch in my opinion is the best watch garmin's ever made. And it's one and a half year old,meaning it's a also a new watch

The epix pro is an incredible watch at likely a much less price that the 8. I had a first gen 7x solar and still keep it for multi day cycle trips where gps is on all day for many days so did get an 8 for the amoled - but the new features on the 8 are not whole pile of difference to an epix pro at all. Enjoy your epix pro for years to come and look again when there are significant improvements you actually want (or like in my case I was tired of years and years of a black watch and wanted a titanium bezel and amoled haha)

@@2312dean thanks for this great information I use my watch for running that’s why I brought it for I use it along with the Garmin heart rate monitor

No, I'd say not. It's pretty much the same watch, I don't think you're missing anything significant.

epix pro 2 has it already.

@@Tha-King-Arthur epix,fenix 7,tactix, instinct 2x, etc have had it for more than a year already.

Only if you want an amoled screen and a heavier clock, otherwise keep it and wait for a 975? Also since you are asking then no its not worth it, better save for the next forerunner. I believe the 955 still do the jobs you want it to do for you.

Hi! Sloow reply here, apologies. But that's the Garmin UltraFit Nylon Strap (22mm).

From the 6, yes, it's a decent upgrade. Any newer though (7, epix, etc) it's hardly worth an upgrade.

Hey! Yeah, I think from the 6 series it's a pretty significant upgrade, definitely in terms of sensors/performance. I've been wearing mine for a few weeks now, and haven't experienced any bugs, anything specific you've heard of?

On your watch when answering a call an option pops up the sane way it dies on your phone where you can select speaker, Bluetooth device, and phone. There are other videos out there showing the feature.

@@jeffbramble1401 can you please make a video of it..?
