+1 couldn't deal with AMOLED. Even AOD, surprisingly missed my F7 Pro.

Why you didnt like amoled on epix?

@@user-gi8gk6kr8e Don't get me wrong, I loved the Amoled screen but I was used to the MIP and I preferred to have that autonomy. I also didn't like having to turn my wrist to activate the screen. A matter of taste!

@@user-gi8gk6kr8e AMOLED is fine, it’s just that I don’t like it for always-on displays. It emits light and drains the battery faster.

how has your bare Titanium bezel held up?

I have no idea who can possible use tactix 7 - AMOLED. Like... if you are in tactical situation, the last thing you want is to alert the whole forest just because you need to find out what time is it.

FYI you’ll lose a little of the clarity of the 6 when you go to the 7. Even without the sapphire version, adding the touchscreen layer adds some glare

Totally agree. Im considering getting myself an extra 955 now so I can continue enjoying MIP for longer.

or 8x

I think it is the combination of sapphire and photovoltaic layer. My guess is that gorilla glass without solar is much more readable. For F7 47mm the difference is like 10-20% so probably not worth it. It is a shame that the titanium version is always with both Sapphire+Solar and for me the weight of the steel is too much.

Do you have the DLC or the bare titanium bezel?

@@daveclark6314 it’s the black one (DLC) I think.

Ben de aynı ikilemdeyim ve karar veremiyorum. Fenix 7 pro sapphire titan daha çekici

Yeah… who knows if a new one is right around the corner.. if I were you I’d wait… whether it’s 6mos or more you know you can upgrade once it gets an update and the Fenix 6 doesn’t change to much from the 7 so you’ll know the jump from 6-8 was worth it. Cheers !

I rock it both ways to be honest! I’ve noticed that when it’s towards me it gets caught on next to nothing as opposed to when it’s away. But I still wear it both ways.

thats the medium size 47mm

@@navalcomand1981 I mean, his wrist circumference

Some rumours say May 2024, so about now, others say early 2025... I guess we'll have to wait and see

Yeah pudgy it’s a great watch if you are into MIP or the epix if you want to go AMOLED. They have sales all the time on these and would buy one then. Sometimes like Black Friday it was down all the way at $650 which is still a lot of money but saves you a bunch too! Cheers ! Also synchs seamlessly with my kickr so no need to worry about ecosystems there.

@@JoshRomeroYT I love the MIP setup my Rival has and I work as a bike mechanic on the side so I can get one at cost. With that said, super good info for those not in that position.

feel kinda the same...

I hope you don’t rely on its health metrics, since that OHR sensor is the shittiest out of all the sports / fitness watches.

I'm pretty sure that's totally wrong. Fenix 8 will most likely have a AMOLED screen. All their recent releases have it.

@@eduardlaurentiubaltatu4192yeah its clear Garmin is going OLED, MIP is for hardcore users, but most likes a prettier screen and they are more than happy putting up with charging once a week.

@@eduardlaurentiubaltatu4192 if that is true, then all the serious athletes, especially the ones love hiking will move to a company that will stay focus on the MIP display. They can change the majority of the people to what they think or to what they want to, but not the real athletes and the ones using the watch for its real purpose, outdoor activity in all weather conditions, and a real Always ON display. There is a huge difference in reality when you look at an MIP compared to an AMOLED. MIP looks natural, while AMODEL looks fake. The visibility under the sun on an MIP is the day and night comparing it to the AMOLED. I dont know what POLAR or GARMIN are thinking, but i believe they need to listen to all the users and focus on the purspose of these watches. If i wanted a nice Samsung or Apple watch i wouldn't even look at Polar, Garmin, Suundo etc.

@@eduardlaurentiubaltatu4192 agreed.

MIP is likely to become niche, even though it is better for some use cases. Most watch manufacturers are moving away from it for 80% of their devices.

I did not mean battery consuming, I meant light emitting. The red light is definitely not as bright as the lowest white LED. For this, I refer to it as the lowest setting.

The 1st gen AWU hasn’t been out for 3 years lol.

Which model?

No, it doesn’t.

If someone gives you free food, is it “tasty” by default?

It starts to make sense when you look at the prices and see that’s the equivalent Fénix 7 X you can find it nowadays way below 600 euros while the enduro 2 I can’t find it below the 800. For 200 euros, I wouldn’t mind to charge the fenix a little bit more often.. 😅

Well get an Enduro 2 is make more sense than buy Fenix 7X ,but If you have a sm, md wrist Fenix 7 ( pro ) is better option than Enduro 2.

@@emanC94 the battery is significantly better on enduro 2 enabling totally different uses and applications like longer activity and races. For example multi day or overnight trips or ultra marathon distance races…. Simply “charging a Fenix more often” is not possible during many events and activity… for 200$ you can get a far superior battery and your going to have the watch for a long time. Spend the 200 and get enduro 2

@@teeramate nah the enduro 2 is same size as the larger Fenix and this size watch is fine on a small to medium wrist. These watches are all purpose built with functionality in mind. You want the most functionality and battery life.

If you need a 47mm size or smaller, that is one reason. The Enduro is awesome though.
