Agreed! Not a bad choice at all!

Absolutely, thanks for watching!!

Awesome, thanks for watching. That was always my goal to make them short and to the point, after watching many of those 30+ minute videos in the past! Have a great day!

Thank you!

I appreciate the feedback, I will see where I can dial it down to make future videos better.

Absolutely, thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment! I apologize I don’t have a basketball to try out… it may be a little large or barely fit, but I can fit a size 5 soccer ball in the back if the helps.

Agreed, music and text message replies are the things that I miss about the Apple Watch. Otherwise, these Garmin watches generally meet and exceeded every expectation over the Apple Watch.

It wasn’t scratched in the video, however, I’m not sure how well polishing would buff out scratches. I have a few on the black bezel of the Fenix they are now part of its character haha! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Yeah, it’s really hit or miss on a lot of the drinks. I definitely prefer coffee on the trail much more than flavored energy powdered drinks. I really just wanted to throw it together The video comparing taste as a back up to the primary coffee if needed a pick me up in the middle of the day. Luckily, it seems as time goes on. There are healthier options out there for energy boost over the powdered individual packets.

Sorry to hear that! Hopefully you were able to get a replacement. I do appreciate that about Amazon, whenever there’s a problem I can normally get it solved as opposed to dealing with some smaller companies. Thanks for watching!

It’s a great bag, and I think it has the nicest look to be able to take into a work environment of the three! Thanks for watching!

There really isn’t too much of a difference when you look at the main compartment size. I don’t think it’s reflected in the dimensions as it’s probably just a little more fabric length that gives the extra depth. When packing both, I can’t really tell a difference. Either way they’re both solid choices!

Nice - Great choice! Thanks for watching!

Me too

Absolutely, thanks for watching!

Garmin Tactix 7 offers a modern design with a touchscreen, enhanced tactical features, an integrated flashlight, and updated health monitoring. Garmin Tactix Delta lacks the flashlight and touchscreen, featuring traditional button controls, classic tactical features, but still has comprehensive mapping and navigation tools. Both watches are built to military standards and share many tactical features, but the Tactix 7 introduces newer technologies and conveniences.

I appreciate it, thanks for watching!

Totally agree. I’m sure it would drastically cut down on the battery life, but it would be a great added feature. That is probably the only thing I miss when comparing to the Apple Watch…. Maybe some other application integrations too, but some of the major things that make it stand apart from the Apple Watch or what keep me wearing it. Thanks for watching!

I grabbed a TicWatch and I love it. I'm going to send it back though because the new Galaxy is about to drop and it integrates so well with my Galaxy phone and it's amazing. And you're probably right about the battery life but they should make it an option that you can turn off completely​@TheOutdoorWorkshop

Thank you, appreciate you watching!

Solid choice! Thanks for watching!

Awesome great choice! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I’m glad it provided you some information that could help your decision. Good luck and hope whatever you end up with meets your expectations!

Thanks for watching!!

Yep! Wakes me up every time I’m on the trail!

Yeah the recon will likely be a little tight for camera gear, especially with a cube and hiking gear. The borealis has bit more space in the main compartment, though less organization… which could be mitigated with some cube organizers. God luck in the search!

@@TheOutdoorWorkshop well i've bought it now.. xD

Thanks! Yeah I also normally wear the 7x pro sapphire on my day to day and utilize a lot of the convenient features that come with the high price tag. I could probably get away with the features on this one as my day to day, but having the 7x would miss a lot of the upgrades. This one is still a solid go-to when I want something lighter to bang around on the trail.

True!

In theory, it should work, after using it a few times I ended up going back to the ballistic Calculator app that I was using prior to purchasing this watch. It had a lot more features available and was easier to input custom data when working up loads.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Yep!

I would not recommend this for navigation during a marathon. I think the Fenix or forerunner would have much more capable navigation features. The Fenix has fully loaded topo maps and turn by turn navigation, which is lacking in this model.

Defiantly a solid basic watch!

how did you?!

@@nav4688 my job 🤝🫣

I defiantly wouldn’t recommend frequent use of these energy blends. I generally only keep as a back up if I don’t have my coffee on hand and need a quick boost in a pinch.

Yep as an update I found LMNT - seems to be enough salt and none of the bad junk

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Absolutely if interested in taking any kind of smart watch in the Mudder, this would probably be the best choice!

@@TheOutdoorWorkshop I got a cheaper Camo solar refurbished version which lacks Vo2. If I get on with it, I might upgrade.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I would say if you’re looking for a solid basic watch that tracks a lot of your statistical data, This is a good one to go with. But if you’re looking for more advanced features and specific route tracking, this probably isn’t the ideal one. There are a lot of better options for running, but this is a great blend between ruggedness / battery life / basic sport tracking. if you’re just looking for distance time and intervals, this should definitely be good enough!

It is defiantly my go to for that exact reason! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Absolutely agree, the battery life alone is huge when compared to other smart watches. And that’s just the beginning of what sets it apart. Add in the off-line maps, flashlight, and sleep / activity tracking - knowing what I know now I would find it hard to find a comparable watch. Thanks for checking out the video!

Thank you very much!!

Haha! Great suggestion - I think it could reach a whole different market with that option

Totally agree I certainly wouldn’t be using this as a primary navigational instrument, but it sure would be a nice secondary or tertiary option to an ADF in the event of instrument failure.

These certainly do hold up, I use mine to carry quite a bit of stuff everyday. No major issues from the pack.
