It is a real pleasure to meet such a detailed and great review of E3, thanks a lot my friend!! 😎👍🏻 I’m thinking of going for E3 from Epix2 47mm, what do you think? Is it critical to use MIP after Amoled screen? I’m a bit confused, but truly love the design and capabilities of E3 for my activities. Thank you.
I've been considering investing in a Fenix 8 and this is one of the most detailed videos I've come across. Thank you for sharing.
Hello 👋 Sir Garmin Enduro 3 My Dream Watch Gift 🎁 Please 🙏🙏🙏
Can you wear the watch on your right hand and use the crown on the left (flip the screen) like on a Coros watch or an Apple Watch?? I’m a lefty and wear my watch on the right hand.
Hello! Big problem with my Fenix8AMOLED: I bought the watch for running but since I'm also a scuba diver, I took it for a test. After 3 dives between 90 and 120ft with no deco, the watch started to bug and then turned off for good. Garmin sent me a new watch and... after 3 or 4 dives in the same pressure zone with deco, the watch started to bug just like the first one. I'm glad I have my MARES dive computer, what is wrong with the FENIX8 waterproof??
Excellent review! You can activate the ECG feature using an Android device and an app to mock your GPS location (e.g., New York). The whole process takes less than five minutes. I live in Argentina, own a Garmin Venu 2 Plus, and the ECG works great.
is there altimeter and barometer?
Hello 👋 Sir Garmin Enduro- 3 My Dream Watch Gift Please, God Will Bless You 🙏🙏🙏
Bugs did exist, but Garmin is addressing them. My Amoled is great!
Just got one. My battery life is crap tho! Barely lasts 3 days 🤨
Hi great review - waht was the logest GPX file you were able to import (you mentioned a 100KM one) Just wondering if there is an upper limit forl ength or segments, TIA!
It will be nice if Garmin gives you a real 51mm display not a 36mm display everything else is garbage Garmin watch is garbage y because Garmin offer more garbage than watch here is y no spo2 low oxygen level alert no stress levels alert no way to see the screen if you need glasses don't buy garbage move on to a different watch company don't support garbage than is how Garmin fills about you selling you garbage 😢😢
Они просто огромные. У вас на руке Гармин смотрятся намного меньше, хотя они тоже не маленькие
Yeah! This is a big watch unfortunately. It is surprisingly, very comfortable to wear though!
Is 165 good even if u ain’t a runner? I weight lift, use treadmill and all types of cardio. I don’t really run unless on the treadmill once in a while.
Even if you’re not a runner this will allow you to track your workouts, it will track heart rate, sleeping patterns and HRV. Not too bad for the price. For weightlifting I’d suggest looking at the Suunto Race S which is a similar price range but built like a tank!
@@ActiveIdeasThankyou for this
@ariesgirl6745 ❤️
If you need a watch that can live display speed on say a bike or kayak where you need to mount it to view rather than wear on the wrist then this watch is not for you as the Amoled screen will dim so you can't read it, even with always on mode. Making it useless for live speed/cadence monitoring. Should be able to override during activities. There needs to be a function to override this during activates, even if it drains the battery quickly. Screen burn is not an issue as the readout is not static
Hi. tell me please. does fr255 support split screen? line drawings + data fields. like these 3:34
Hey mate! I think you’re asking the fr255 of a little too much here! I don’t think it supports split screen navigation unfortunately 👊🏽
What IS stack high?! Fit, sizing?
Heel drop 8mm, stack height 35mm, weight 250g-ish, size 9 UK, fit = true to size 🔥❤️
@ thank you for quick reply. Good luck for the race!
@@tanaspop1 let’s go!!! 100 UK miles, I’m ready for it.
@@ActiveIdeas looking forward for race report.
@ cheers mate ❤️
Great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
A pleasure brother 👊🏽
What settings are you using for as far as battery usage?
Everything was pretty standard, nothing crazy. I had HR, sleep tracking turned on.. gps only (rarely used multi and) screen brightness most the time was on low.
@ thanks for the information
Why do I get black and white lines on rites?
@@georgeperatinos5782 what do you mean George?
Black and white lines on rutes maps , hot to get rid off??? Please
@ oh I’ve seen those black lines.. but only in mountains..’usually showing the main trail line? If this is what you mean, i don’t think you can turn this off unfortunately
Hello! Do you have any insights about readability of the improved MIP display in 7 Pro -> I am wondering if its worth getting 7 Pro Sapphire, since I am not too worried about the toughness, but what bothers me is the display readability - I've heard the Gorilla Glass has less glare than the Sapphire version, can you confirm this? Thank you very much for a great review!
@@Bulbulator hey mate! Yeah my Fenix 6X was gorilla glass, the screen readability was fantastic. Unfortunately sapphire doesn’t come close because of reflections from sapphire. When there aren’t reflections (there often is) the readability is fantastic! With someone who struggles with migraines from bright light I have to be careful with this 🤣 Cheers for the kind words mate!
Thanks Kings another great vid 👍
Cheers Tom! Enjoyed this one 👊🏽
It's not often to have a new company bringing innovation to such a mature market. Great review!
It’s very exciting to see! Bring on 2025. Cheers Dave, appreciate it mate 👊🏽
Hey, nice video my man! Can I ask your wrist size? I have an instinct 2 tactical solar. And find I hard to compare the two sizes 😁
Of course man! So my size is 16.5cm so pretty average wrist size really ☺️
@ thanks mate🙏🏼
@@SimonTommy1337 👊🏽
Anyone tried the R1's? 👟What are your thoughts? I love them! 🔥
A1 review!! Waiting on mine in the mail. Liked and subscribed!!
Cheers James! Not long now until yours arrives! Bring on the adventures mate🔥
Love your reviews! UTMB :)
Too kind ❤️ You’re in! 🔥
Just ordered one to replace my Instinct 2 Solar. Time to upgrade to a maps watch but not Amoled. The solar panel is super efficient too.
No questions asked. This is the best watch Garmin make right now 🔥
@ActiveIdeas Oh yeah I did 3 days of research!
You’re going to have zero regrets mate, it’s a massive upgrade from Instinct!
Where did you buy this from?
You can buy this direct from Amazfit or personally I’ve seen the best deals on Amazon
In terms of city navigation which garmin I should go for ? 965 or epic pro or fenix series . Looking for all multi bands , don’t mine for ambled or mid screen . Thank you
Tbh.. just for city navigation 🧭 all of these watches are great! You haven’t mentioned any other criteria but maybe take battery life into consideration.. how much navigating do you usually do?
cutie :)
Dayum bro
Nice video. Thank you. I have found that Garmin’s topo maps are missing a number of well known trails that are shown in both Gaia and Strava. Ex being the trail up to Emerald Lake near Hyalite res outside of Bozeman MT. It could be user error but even using the Garmin mapping app on the phone some trails are nowhere to be found.
I found this too.. but oddly enough.. these missing trails WERE on Coros and Suunto
are the maps free ?
They are free! Garmin do charge for “premium maps” but you don’t need them x
Big boy review, well done!
@@donthompson8871 oh yeah! 😏
I got it a few weeks ago for £182, direct from Garmin with the Perks at Work website. It's way better than the Instinct 2, I had the Solar Surf Edition couple of years ago and it didn't work at all. GPS was all over the place, compass never worked, and it crashed all the time. They provided a replacement and that was the same. Thankfully this 2X is waaaaaaaay better, most importantly, it works. One thing that is annoying me though, is that I wish Garmin would release the Instinct 2 Solar Surf Edition watch face for the 2X.
UTMB
Thankyou Lazzy 🔥
I wanted to take the time to leave a comment and let you know that your review was amazing. The trouble you go through the amount of features when the camera on your body to show us the screen. As you're walking, you did a great job. People like you make RUclips a place to go for information and make us more informed buyers. Thank you. Keep up the great work. I subscribe to your channel and I want you to know that your hard work is much appreciated. Happy New Year.
This is the kindest thing someone has said to me in 2025 ❤️ Cheers mate! It can be tough trying to run a channel so little comments like this really make my day and remind me that putting the extra effort in is worth it. Thanks again and happy new year to you too!
Great vid.
Cheers mate ❤️ I agree.
Is the heel lock the same as pulsar trail pro 2? Because it is very narrow and thin. I had pain every time i use them.
I don’t know this information unfortunately, never got to try the Pulsar 2. I will say I have super wide feet and usually struggle with narrow shoes but the sock like wrap features of this shoe make it one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve tried! The furtherest I’ve ran in them is about 24 miles.. with zero pain. I will say, they’re not a great shoe for winter.. my feet were freezing in these haha. But anything above. 1°C is okay ❤️
@ActiveIdeas i want to use it for race shoe this year. Last year i used genesis slab . Amazing shoe in all terrain with great durability but little bit heavy . I think i give a try
@ yeah, compared to the S/Lab I think this will be superior for shorter and sharper events. 10km to half marathon trials this will be unreal 🔥 For anything more some might find it lacking in comfort but even then I’ve enjoyed it for 20 mile plus outings. Best of luck with your next race mate!
What watch did you use and how was it 😄
@@alwayslearning9517 I used the titanium Race S, Luke used/borrowed Coros Vertix 2S. Both worked great! Some surprisingly tough navigating on this course
That is a bloody good chippy in Wells. Get yourself a windproof, no wonder you were cold only wearing the OMM 'string vest'.
@@rbreiff73 it hits every time 😍 French’s fish and chips 👏🏽 Haha.. tbh I had loads of extra layers in my pack including 2 wind breakers. My body was roasting with the OMM Core Jacket on but I did struggle with my hands 🙈
@ActiveIdeas No worries. While you're here can I ask about your experience with the Enduro 3? I love my 7x pro saphire but it's very noticeable on my wrist, almost uncomfortable. Is the Enduro 3 noticeably lighter? Cheers, Rob
@rbreiff73 i would definitely say it’s more comfortable than the Enduro 2 and the 7X because of its redesign and reduction in weight. For max battery life watches the Suunto Vertical is most comfortable, next i would say is Enduro 3x, then Fenix 7X, then Enduro 2 and in last place is the Coros Vertix 2 and 2S
@rbreiff73 also bare in mind, in talking marginal gains here and there’s still a massive difference between the Suunto Vertical and the Enduro 3
@ActiveIdeas Appreciate the reply. I had the old Suunto spartan ultra titanium and it was beast. Just wanting a new watch, it wouldn't take much to persuade me. Atb
What I want is a watch with navigation and esim so I can see messages and make calls. It needs to be waterproof and have search engine features. When I go on holiday I don't want to take my phone everywhere with me, I'd rather just have a smart watch. This is where the Apple Ultra 2 comes into it's own because it has everything. It has all the social media apps also. I work out, run and swim but not heavily hence I wouldn't need the Garmin I just want something that covers everything. Also mp3 features for my headphone.
Ideally, this is what all of us want mate! The Apple Watch is great but I’m in a situation where I need navigation 🧭 I usually have my phone on me for emergencies anyways. Whilst the Apple Watch ticks all these boxes.. it falls short, heavily, in the battery life department. For a real navigation situation I’d rather have my phone and a Garmin compared to no phone and a watch either 6 hours of gps+mapping battery life (not even taking into account the battery life drainage with cellular/LTE also switched on). I hope Garmin bring back LTE products so we get the best of both worlds
wtf is wrong with thsi video? the animations and camera swipes looks like someone is having an ADHS hectical attack
