This particular design spring pin on fenix 7/Fenix 8/Marq Gen 2 etc needs to be cut with diagonal plier or sharp wire cutters to remove. Then purchase the pins required, note the OEM Pins are 2.5mm thick. Carefully insert the new replacement OEM spring pins with an insertion tool to avoid scratching the watches lugs

I have a garmin 965, but def would recommend the epix 2 around 400. I was hoping the armband hr monitors would be on sale. I'm surprised they aren't.

when considering the mid range watches: what about the garmin venu3s? it has the newest hr sensor...would you still recommend the forerunner 965 although there is a 100 € a price difference?

Coming from a broken Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, I have the Suunto Race S since a week now, and I love it. Many things feel just much more thought through. Battery life could be better, but I love that the watch will just tell you…

What watch strap are you using on your fenix in this video?

Rogue shirts are awesome btw and wear really well over time

Fenix watches are like iPhones if you upgraded from the last model (Fenix 7) it’s only an incremental upgrade and ultimately comes down to your disposable income. But if you’re upgrading from a model 2+ iterations ago (Fenix 6 and prior) it’s going to feel like a big upgrade. It’s not that hard to see folks.

I'm ordering my race S next week. Can't wait to replace my forerunner 245.

Whoop or Ultrahuman Air ring?

Great tips 👍🏻. What's your opinion about the sleep tracking and health statistics of the Suunto Race S? Can it compete with Garmins, Polar watches or Google Pixel Watch 3? I'm looking for a watch/device that can track that because I want to improve my sleep and overall health.

Looking forward to the full review of the Race s 👍🏼

Heads up to anyone watching this. Ordered this backpack in August, has been delayed now until at least February. Once this company has your money, they don't give a s*** about your order. Founder spends his time bragging on Linkedin about running a 9 figure business, but can't be bothered to send out orders. Instead, they ignore emails and delete social media comments. For a premium brand, they are a complete disgrace. Avoid them like the plague.

You said you wouldn’t buy Suunto race but how about if Race titanium is on sale for $399 on eBay brand new ?

KNKG backpack clears the Haven by a mile. More space, more exterior functionality, better compartments, cheaper, and more customizable options. As someone who bought both, go with the KNKG instead

Which Fenix 8 47mm do you exactly mean? The one with Amoled or MIP Solar?

...flights / stairs climbed tracking ? did not locate in my research on this watch ...

Just ordered hopefully you’re right:)

I like the 26mm band, alot more comfortable.

Word on the street is that the ForeRunner 975 with the Elevate 5 HR sensor is right around the corner, so I'll be waiting for that one. Personally, I like the design of the Fenix 8 but find it just a tiny bit too rugged and utilitarian, and dare I say, "tactical" looking. I hope the new ForeRunner comes in around the $500-600 mark. Also, I recently learned that a lot of insurance companies offer a discount on Garmin wearables and the Index scale. I've heard some offering discounts in the 20-30% range.

Is there any way or video that shows someone handwashing the cooling pads and if so please put the link here please 🙏

Honest as always. That's what I love about your reviews. I have a Race S coming my way, I just wanna see whether the overall fitness charting is getting better here. My Body Battery is CONSTANTLY bottoming out because of giving me abysmal recovery numbers. I am curious to see how that plays out for myself.

Runner (and bike rider) here, just got a good deal on the FR965 so I'm going back to Forerunners after 2 years with the Venu 2..."down" from the FR955 because of the screen and because I didn't find the metrics other than BB really "actionnable". Besides I have an Edge 530 that calculates the load (assuming it's useful). Still, the larger screen of the FR965 was too tempting and I hear the adaptive training plans have improved, so... As a runner the Elevate 4 has been nearly perfect for me on the Venu 2 (just a bit laggy on short intervals) and it's the first time really...so much frustration with the FR235 or the FR935. I've also found that the larger and heavier watches like the F7 or Epix2 have HR drifts, possibly because they "bounce" more that a Forerunner that can be made to "hug" the wrist perfectly.

My 51 mm has a completely black strap

Man, sapphire glass. It’s a big difference vs gorilla glass.

I thought the dog behind you @1:24 was some big cat about to attack! 😂

Just finding you. Thanks for the info. I’ll be ordering my AWU2 today. Are you in the Mississippi Delta? Looks like familiar ground.

Hey! super useful :) Thanks a lot for sharing and taking the time to do the video

Love the practical review! This is just what I needed as I was trying to decide between these two watches.

Garbage! Loosing connection non stop! IOS 18.1 not working properly. Problematic device, polar flow is junk software

Sealed the deal on the 965 for me. Thank you!

I've heard that the crown of the titanium version is smoother, is that correct? Also, have you encountered the Polar Vantage M3 yet and if so, what are your initial thoughts about it?

I am lovely the Garmin Enduro 3, also good Suunto race S

Thanks for the review. I play a lot of disc golf and garmins are great for that. How does the Garmin Fenix 8 work with your tattoos and the heart rate? @fitgearhunter

Thank you so much for this review. I've been watching the Fenix series for a couple years now. It's a shame that they've gone from approximately $600 to $800 all the way to $1,000+ now. I'm happy to say though that the Forerunner 965 would work perfect for me. You saved me a lot of money. Thank you soo much! Yes it is about the money. Im a huge tech guy and have problems spending the money that they want for graphics cards nowadays.

Fenix leaped out of my price rage after the fenix 6 for me. I'll be goign with a Forerunner which is also a bit pricey.

I am in 2 minds...Still have the Epix Gen 2...and it is working like a charm...I would love the flash light and the new graphics on the golf app...but that is it...have 2 other dive computers so no need for a new one...but my arse is always itching for something new...$1k is a lot of money

Thanks for the video. Is the Fenix lineup overpriced...definitely! Should be priced around the Enduro price, and Enduro should be about $699.00 My issue with the 965 is the UI... Sure their minor differences, but I think the minor differences make a big overall difference.. The 965 watch face needs to be updated, maybe update it the older Epix watch faces??

Great review... straight to the points regular users find value. Tks!

Can you do another video for 2024-2025 watches?

good one... everybody else is saying it is glitchy and now to buy it but, I like your logic and am going to see if I can get it on sale or the Epix pro 2 saphire brand new for about $700 might be better deal but I do like the fenix 8 has a flashlight don't know if the Epix has that flashlight feature

I have Apple Watch Ultra and i am using athylitic app should i buy garmin for more accurate data or should i stick to Apple Watch.

Garmin customer service is the worst. My $1000.00 watch screen failed prematurely and they did nothing to help. Worse yet, their policy is to string along disappointed customers using extremely deception verbiage saying they will "exchange" your watch if it meets certain but REALLY "exchange" means you send in your watch and you pay full retail with a meaningless discount. Scam alert!!!!

You may have covered this in a different video, why 47mm not 51mm? Am considering the giant 8 for ultras (cos longer battery life)

does the Fenix 8 have as good results as this? and is this tracker accurate for resting heart rate etc and when I,m not working out? for workout I,ve ordered a chest strap . I come from an Apple Watch and I trusted that data a lot. my resting heart rate is important to keep an eye on my thyroid decease. but I don't want a apple watch anymore lacks on workout and recovery data and I find the vitals app pretty stupid.

Hello there. One question. If I have my Garmin Edge 530 and I want to upload the data from the sensors of my bike to my smartwatch can I do it with Garmin Foreunner 965 or 265? Garmin Edge 530 works with Garmin Connect app in my phone, so I guess that a Garmin smartwatch has to have this functionality as well? I mean I want to upload this data to Strava and also my smartwatch as well. Thank you so much

Wish they would do a steroid box..

Casually strolls around a graveyard, whilst talking about a watch. I've bought the Fenix 8 47mm MIP solar, as I don't like OLED and am upgrading from a Fenix 6 47mm. The 51mm feels too much like wearing a clock.

Will you come with a Amazfit t rex 3 review? Than you for your fantastic work🙏

is the sizing the same on all?

Got the fenix 7xpro saphire coming in the mail got it for a good price
