What is better apple ultra or garmin
I sold my Apple Watch 8 because it’s a phone basically with a few health features. For me a Garmin is a tool that is priceless.
I shut this off quickly once I heard the hugely distracting thumping garbage going on under the voice. Who on earth thinks sticking some kind of distraction under the information being presented is a good idea? Seriously? Why? Are you trying to convey information or not?
Hi,can you receive/send emails or calls?
Best watch I have ever owned
Waste of money. Everything this country watch has you can have on your phone. Gimmick.
Great video. I'm just wondering what it was that triggered the incident detection?
What's the intro soundtrack please ?
Do the buttons still get sticky like on the Fenix 5???? And yes I've soaked it in soapy water and it's still sticky buttons
Global languages supported?
I've got the fenix 6 x pro and it's fantastic 21d battery life, resolution is alot better than the 5.
JB HIFI need to drop the price on these things they want $1500AUD for one and thats just rediculous if you ask me.
Can i jump in the pool and splash around with my kids without having to turn it on to a ,swimming mode ?
I find Lexy being concerned about the watch knocking her teeth out like this kind of danger is entirely new to her, really disingenuous.
I bought this one as my sixth Garmin. Unfortunately the product quality is super low. The heart rate fails ( during a daily routine, not even during exercise ). In addition the hardware is defected and not robust.
On top of all, the service is not there when you need it. Bottom line, 2 out of 10…
My favorite watch buy far
Sorry, but I need LTE to run without my smartphone. And we need european payments like apple pay in this watch. For 1000€ isnt enough in the garmin package Epix or Fenix.
Thank you for the review, an extra question: does the Epix count the reps during the gym?
instant buy for me if it had speakers, mic for taking and making calls and a better payment system like apple pay or google pay. Its just missing those two features to make it perfect imo
how is the data collection and archival ? is the data saved in a spreadsheet by day and is the user able to export it all onto excel or other software ?
First heard about this watch after looking into the new Apple Watch Ultra. But man the battery life comparison seems no where close. Can’t wait to start seeing side by side reviews when the Apple Watch ultra comes out
Will it work with iPhone?
Mobile telephone mobile music in outer space NASA Tesla otwo roket
id rather have a transflective display with solar charging….👌💯 anyways… good screen diplay tho..
Thanks for this video. V Cool Smart Watch. Will consider it. I wish Tag Heuer would figure out a solution to their battery life so that theirs lasts several days instead of just one day. I find brief battery is a hassle with smart watches.
The watch actually looks small on your wrist, im getting the fenix 7x
In the swimming mode Garmin Epix 2 misses in average 25 meters on the 200 miters distance . How can the measurement accuracy be improved? Reset settings – did not help, perhaps the Epix 2 is non for swimming …
