What GPS Watch Do I Wear?

[@davidkelly1038]

I've had a Garmin Instinct for several years now and love the watch but I agree with your comments about the app...a little slow at times. I use mine mainly for running, CrossFit, and occasionally on a bike ride. Also keep up with my sleep/recovery on it. Absolutely love the battery life!

[@seanreese311]

Thanks Chadd, I was one of the guys who asked for a watch review. Awesome to see that you read the comments and will consider what we want your opinion on.

I wear a Garmin 6X sapphire all day everyday in the oilfield. After one year of abuse the only visible wear is a few scratches on the titanium band clasp. Dunked in chemicals, out in the weather, banged against equipment, it just keeps on chugging along. Off work I have a Garmin MARQ Adventurer and 7X sapphire solar. All of them are absolute beast watches.

Ive had Suunto Traverse Alpha for 4 years already, no problems and gives you the necessary info u need.

[@time_on_target]

Same until I broke it on this deployment falling off the back of a helicopter. Ripped the band attachment out of the housing

Charging port plugs/covers are available and cheap. For 4 years I’ve had repeated problems getting a good connection to charge my Garmin. The plug/cover has helped a lot.

[@robertmorano2372]

I love my coros. It does everything I need and has absolutely insane battery life. Although it's a gshock for me for daily use as a professional chef.

[@gabos7892]

Finally says what watch it is 3:32

[@HuntFishLiveFL]

Been using my trusted G-Shock for years but wanted something more. Just picked up the Garmin Fenix 6x, love it. Charge only shows 21 days, so that 50+ days is amazing. Syncs fast to my phone, but I only run 5 miles each morning (well below your runs :) .

[@vitomccartney]

Thanks as always for the great video

[@bravowhiskey4684]

I ran a Fenix 3hr until the battery was basically trashed. I got 8 years out of it. I gave it to a friend to try out the smartwatch life, and upgraded to the tactix7. I get about 3 weeks on a charge, using it EDC and with workout tracking 5 days a week. I do kill GPS most of the time, unless tracking a hike or whatever. I didn’t pay extra for solar, and don’t really miss it. YMMV.

[@michaelwelsh3280]

I bought the enduro after you mentioned it previously and have loved it

[@CharlieFreed_Ultrarunning]

If you’re ever in the market for a new watch check out the COROS line. I think you’d like it a lot more for the things you want in a watch

[@djzrobzombie2813]

Nuff said ! Garmin Fenix 7x nuff said!

[@jimmyjones6497]

Love my Garmin forerunner

[@traillesstravelled7901]

Yup, worked great for many years.

[@Murphnuge]

I switched from a being a hard-core G-Shock guy to a Garmin Instinct Solar. Garmin makes great timepieces. Rugged AF, solid battery life, and worth every dime.

[@DucatiDad]

You gotta look a Coros watches. They sync to sats way faster and they update the firmware way more often with awesome updates. I get 30 days on one charge.

[@willievstudio]

I have owned a Garmin fenix 3 GPS Watch since 2015 and it rocks. All I have changed out are the watch bands.

[@j.johnson8360]

Those watch bands are trash.

[@guidedbyimpulse1965]

Great information! Thank you!

[@BluePineTree-01]

Thank you for sharing your experience with Garmin Enduro, great review from you. I wish I waited on my purchase and watch videos like yours. I bought the Garmin Forerunner 55, not a bad watch at all. Great road running watch but if you go through the mountains signal gets lost at certain points. I had to re-configure my GPS settings but battery charge will take a hit. Anyways, I am a runner and now love running trails. I didn't know after watching your video the Enduro had the feature Navigate. I have a separate device Garmin Etrex 32 when I'm on a hike that I use that provides a map. I also study the actual map. Somewhere down the line when I have saved enough money I know what Garmin GPS watch to get. Love the idea all in one plus your personal preferences noted in your video.

[@seekdiscomfort4746]

GPS signal losing will never be an issue with saphire models like the Enduro, fenix, and epix. The saphire version use multi- band GPS I've had complete accuracy in remote mountains and in the middle of seas amd oceans around the world w pinpoint accuracy. It's called their SAT-IQ Technology using multiple satellite orbiting n games earth

[@ekoado3373]

Hey man, just started watching your videos. I enjoy your candor. Do you feel healthy in body and mind?

[@ungratefulpeasant8085]

Thanks for the review, I have been looking for something like this for rucking and wilderness expeditions.

[@MrJemus]

I confirm (called Enduro 2 in germany)

[@thewadeoutdoors]

Love the video! I hate how GPS watches that are worth the price are so expensive! I’m an Apple fan boy right now and it seems to do what I need it to do but I’ve always wanted a Garmin

[@tonychase2302]

Thanks for the video. Got a Garmin watch on my Christmas list now 🎅🏻

[@FiremanFrach]

If you ever had a problem with the charge port getting clogged up, I bought little rubber port covers (I have a Garmin Instinct) that fit perfectly, and they are super cheap.

[@CausticPuffin]

Chad, I’ve been with you since the beginning of your channel and it’s amazing to see how fast you have grown. What watch would you recommend for GPS and a day in day out just plain watch. Semper Fi

[@traillesstravelled7901]

Battery is one of those things that I've always wished was better. Had forunner 235, for a couple years (broke at work), now have a refurbished Fenix 3. But because of app issues and battery life, I don't use anything.

[@djzrobzombie2813]

So what do you think about the Garmin Fenix 7x solar ?

[@ralphtieleman4950]

What aftermarket band is he using on it? Love it. Thanks, Chadd

[@ronthompson2366]

Thought you might of tossed in something about those funky sunglasses you and your team wear lol.. 😎

[@Mtn_Runner]

Everything you mentioned, including the “not giving badges for Frosty 5k” exists in a COROS Apex Pro or Vertix 2 for like 1/3 the price of the Enduro, plus a simplified ecosystem. Gramin gives the participation trophies lol

[@Elric19772]

I've got a fenix5, not a bad watch but has a few flaws in my opinion, but I'm not in the market for spending another £500 on a new watch just yet: 1. I'm not entirely sure the heartrate monitor on it is particularly accurate unless you use the chestband with it. 2. The stock silicone straps are garbage. 3. if I don't clear the memory after about 6 months it loses the bluetooth sync with the app until I fully clear the memory. The biggest complaint is If you wear it 24x7 the silicone starts to rot your skin as it's unable to breathe under the watchface. After trying a bunch of different straps that all failed in one way/shape or form, I've finally got a single strip of fabric velcro one that I bought from amazon that works well. The replacement silicone and fabric ones from Garmin are massively overpriced.

[@FreerideHellDriver]

I would like to buy HOIST in Switzerland but I guess there is no chance to find it over here… anyway… nice video Sir 👍

[@skoskop]

Can you drop the link to the nato strap

[@beauambrose500]

Doesn't the band stink after a while with all the sweat? I typically use the rubber band that comes with like the forerunner.

[@theque1539]

Get a Dust plug for Garmin Watch to protect the charging port. They are a good investment. Well worth it.

[@williamcoker9873]

Not much use for a watch when you are stuck under water in a steel tube for months on end. Still adjusting to Regular life. Good information,, that's a good choice for a watch. Do you ever wonder that big brother is hacked into your watch and tracking you?

[@outboardgull5285]

Welcome back! I feel like knowing that big brother's already monitoring all our little pocket computers which track just about everything we do makes me worry about much less about giving them another device on my wrist to track me from

[@joedropulich3664]

I have a high frequency hearing loss that kept me from enlisting in the Marine Corp. With that being said, if this watch does have "high frequency tones" that a game animal could hear while hunting, or an enemy could hear but I could not then that could cause me a problem. Before I think about purchasing one of those watches I have to ask. Does that watch have "high frequency tones"?

[@richardthomas6602]

Does it have a predator alert?

Guys most of you dont need a GPS, smartwatch or anything like that. Most of you are not going to tke profit of those expensive watches, get your Casio with a chrono, thats all you need, best warriors didnt need GPS watches, stop thinking you are going to turn into a Navy Seal just because spending big ass money on those things.

[@curtpascoe2433]

I can't believe you are trusting our Government enough to be tracked everywhere you go. That watch gives the government enough information to track your every move. Do you think you are the only one that looks at all that information?

So which duck call do you recommend with the watch?
