Garmin Fenix 8 Vs the Apple Watch Ultra 2

[@eqhqen]

If you want a sports watch with some smart features, there is no better choice than Garmin. If you want a smartwatch with some sport features, Apple Watch is simply unbeatable.

Very succinctly put!!!

[@lacehryn]

Apple watch all day you can’t convince me otherwise

[@Runnerinfo247]

Ultra 2 or Series 10?

[@ugursayan238]

Thanks George!!

[@nick-laferriere]

Garmin foooooo sure.

[@Runnerinfo247]

Oooh. Interesting. What’s your favourite feature? Has to be the battery life?

[@jameswewengkang]

I ll go with Garmin… considering the battery life….

[@Runnerinfo247]

Not having to charge that often does sound nice.

[@ugursayan238]

I have been researching this watch for at least 2 hours every night for 1.5 months. I am registered in the Garmin forum and everywhere else. There are thousands of complaints, they have released a Beta version but the problems continue. A watch for 1200€ is still bothering people with beta versions. It seems like it was officially released to test people and solve problems. Garmin is not a smartwatch, it is a sports computer. There is no need to compete with other brands. This does not suit you, GARMIN.

[@Runnerinfo247]

You raise a great point. Sometimes is really important to focus on what makes you, you. Rather than trying to please everyone.

@@Runnerinfo247 You can't do this to the people who make you who you are... that's what really matters.

[@Runnerinfo247]

@@ugursayan238 So true!!

[@SamDickson-t5d]

My biggest issue with smartwatches is having to charge them!!

[@Runnerinfo247]

That is where Garmin has the edge. For sure.

[@HeyComfy]

Nothing can compare to Garmin battery life

[@Runnerinfo247]

It is really impressive what they've been able to accomplish! 20 Days!!

[@Joe-g4t3t]

Why are people so obsessed with battery life? Who can honestly say they are regularly more than 2 days away from electricity! Just put the thing on charge whilst u shower 🤷🏼‍♂️

Garmin outdoors sports and activites smart watch .....Apple is a glamping smart watch

[@Runnerinfo247]

That’s an interesting comparison!! T

You have to be out of your mind to buy garmin when other companies like samsung with the "ultra" are half the price that can be traded in after years of use and updated....garmin does not support their products nearly as well as samsung. Dont get stuck with a $1000.00 paper weight like I did....garmin customer service is the worst.

[@Runnerinfo247]

Unfortunately you are not the first person to say that. Too bad. They seem to have some innovative features.

[@901pics]

Garmin customer service is the worst. They did not. Help me with my thousand dollar paperweight after 3 years. Do yourself a favor and get anything but a garmin. Why pay Is the highest price for a tech product?That's gonna be outdated in a year and a 1/ 2. When you can buy something for half or even one-fifth of price. Polar, apple Galaxy, and amazfit all have products as good for half or 1/5 the price.

[@Runnerinfo247]

I'm so sorry to hear that! Definitely something to consider when buying... which company will be more apt to help if issues arise.
