For starters, I'd be concerned about the button issue as if is is not just a dirt accumulated from running/swimming (you can soak the watch in water to see), than it may by a physical issue and that is covered by Garmin warranty and epic will be replaced free of charge. Secondly, if this is a Gen2 Pro largest of the 3 watches, to get 5 days with GPS activities is extremely poor and Im guessing there are some settings you can adjust and get easily at least double of that. (I use my Fenix 7X Pro daily with 1hour GPS activity daily and looking at 3+ weeks). Let me know if you need a had with Garmin related things ;)

Trying to reach out to Garmin for warranty, but they keep sending me to diff departments & it's frustrating - I wish they had something like AppleCare+ which fixes it quickly in terms of battery life, maybe I have the highest accuracy settings on.

@@ShervinShares Every country has a different warranty procedures. If you were in AU, its like 3 minutes to organise a replacement. I'll find out how it works in US as there may be a way to submit the request online by yourself. (or theoretically you can approach the store where you purchased the unit to replace it under warranty quoting manufacturing defect). As per GPS and battery, set it to AUTO SELECT for the best connection in your area. Also check if you use Pulse Oximeter (set it to manual check) as this is useless metric and if you have it on 24/7, it can cut down your battery by good 40-50%. ;)

So many of the Apple Watch features compliment that lifestyle, while also “getting by” for fitness. Shervin lives in a similar environment. I feel like if I lived near trails and the mountains, I’d be more likely to own a Garmin.

I can tell you after having the AW Ultra for 10 months and now I have the Epix G2 I absolulty prefer the Epix and I wear it all the time. I prefer the buttons . I prefer the round design vs square. The main thing is that I find the GPS to be much more accurate on the Garmin. The Applewatch Ultra would give me different distances for the same route every time. The AW Ultra does respond more quickly and the screen is slightly sharper looking. I never want to take off the Epix off after a workout, in fact I find it much more comfortable that the AW-U. The AW-U felt heavier and it always felt like it was wobbling around on my small wrist.

Apple: needs a 3rd party app & subscription for most sport tracking and coaching. Apple does not currently support (without 3rd party apps) importing a GPX route to follow for trail runs, hikes, etc. Garmin: Two options of adaptive training: Daily suggested workouts (with the option of a goal) & Garmin Coach which provides a choice of 3 coaches and their associated approaches to assist you in your goal defined in the onboarding of the program. Breakdowns of what variables affect: recovery, sleep, VO2max score, etc. Daily insights about training accomplished with suggests how to approach the next day and finish the evening. Garmin can also have a user defined structured workout with specific labels for each exercise and rep counts. Garmin has included live tracking where a user can share their progress of a race or an activity to friends and family no extra fees or apps. (Apple needs a subscription to Strava to achieve something similar). While you pay a premium for Garmin it delivers a bunch of apps baked into the OS which means less need for nickel & dime subscriptions and a more fluid experience.

Main reason I wear my ultra 2 over my fenix 7 is the pay feature. Garmin pay doesn’t work with most banks. I don’t necessarily need gps and cellular on my watch (however it is nice). But the pay feature is so handy. However, I would never use my ultra 2 for outdoor activities. Garmin all day long. Apple doesn’t use onboard maps without the phone present. So without phone service, ultra is almost useless. Garmins onboard mapping is incredible, with or without the phone.

I've got an Epix Pro 2 and Apple Watch 8 (I thought the Ultra would be too big, but I'll be getting an Ultra 2). I agree that the battery life is better for long trail activities, but I actually strongly prefer the maps on the Apple Watch (using WorkOutdoors, which is a one time purchase of $5 or so) to the Garmin maps. Even on the Epix Pro's screen the Watch screen and the way WorkOutDoors renders the map is just so much nicer. WorkOutDoors will also give you an off route warning. The one thing it's missing is turn-by-turn notifications. (I get around that by also using Footpath for the turn-by-turn, but I understand the point at which you're using two apps on the Watch starts to feel like too much of a hassle to many folks.) I live at sea level and hike in nearby mountains quite a bit (adopt a husky puppy and you suddenly have the most adorably and demanding personal trainer) and while I like the novelty of the acclimation data on my Garmin I have no idea whether it's accurate and what I'd actually do with the info.

Do you still wear both watches (AW Ultra and Epix Pro)?
@TimHookermusic Жыл бұрын
I have a Fenix 7, and my problem with it is that it isn't actually a smart watch and I think that's not mentioned enough. I tried to switch from the AW to the Garmin and in addition to missing texts, I found I would miss appointments and not see notifications. If the connect app goes to the background for too long, it won't push notifications. The calendar particularly runs off of the phone so although they might download, they won't notify you like you might expect. It's the same with weather too in that it won't download new data. If Garmin connect isn't up, there's no data even though the watch technically does have wifi. If Garmin could make a first class google suite integration where it had it's own calendar and list of todo's it would be a suitable replacement for my Apple watch. Until then, it's just a really amazing running watch.

Your resting heart rate is also important. The battery lasts a long time, even when the Garmin measures your heart rate every second when you are at rest. On the other hand, the Apple Watch does not have enough battery to measure heart rate while resting. And I know the Apple Watch's measurements are accurate, but is it useful to measure heart rate every second? Would measuring once every 10 minutes be useful?

This guy is clearly an apple fan boy as he is doing everything to play down how good the Garmin watch really is! While the Garmin is still going after 30 days his gimmic apple watch will have been on charge practically 15 times! I have the ultra 2 and epix gen 2 pro and the epix is hands down superior! I want a watch not a fashion accessory!

I stick to Garmin for the moment, but I'm also looking at the other camp... Can the Ultra measure 24 hour HR continuously instead of every 10min?
@quest666PL Жыл бұрын
No. But ask yourself this: why would you need it ? I have Fenix 7X Pro and half the times i look at it, its wrong anyway. 😂
@user-ij8no5zw6u- Жыл бұрын
@@quest666PL Shoudn't be, I have Venu 2 that is seemingly the most accurate Garmin I ever had. Overnight you need to check how restless you're, also I have an anxiety issues that I need to work on. That's why I need it and Garmin and Huawei deliver on that one.

Good point! Garmin works well to track heart rate with history in the connect app. Especially tracking AFIB episodes. I wore the Garmin in the hospital ER the other day and the Dr said the HR was tracking with their gear.

The AWU is missing alot of the core features of the Garmin Fenix but, you can get 3rd party apps to make up. There is nothing wrong with the AWU gathering data and then having 3rd party apps display and analyze. I just wear them both

Sucks though that you have to pay for features on the Apple Watch that you get on Garmin for free.

Love the apple Ultra, but battery ran out on two seperate spartan Ultra races. Having to make the switch because loss of data is just not an option.

Do you think like that: every lipo battery can have charge and discharge cycle ~1500 time. Apple you need charbe after 3 days. Gamin after 30 days.

Love ur videos. I own both Garmin 7x and Apple Ultra. Used to be Hlth fitness dude but not no more. I own Garmin 7x/App Ultra. I use Garmin during Day/Apple during Nite. Still looking for that motivation to get back into that fitness mentality. Your videos helps to get back into it. Awesome videos. Thank U.
