I love my Enduro 2. If I have an option I won't be without a wrist based flashlight, solar, GPS and month battery ever again. Would love to see same and more features in a slightly slimmer form factor and I'm sure with time, I will.
You and me both! I can't go without the flashlight ever again I don't think. Honestly. Like for real - I use it ALL. THE. TIME. And the enduro 2 has been my primary watch for months now- I honestly think it's the best watch they have, other than the Marq 2 ones.
My fave would be the Enduro 2 with the appearance of the Tactix. However I went with the 955 because it's such a great deal. I wouldn't want to spend so much on a watch if it gets outdated in the next cycle.
Thank you for the video. I have and prefer the Tactix 7, so was with Tactix Delta. Enduro 2 has a flashlight that is twice as bright as both T7 and F7, wish that came over to both.
Enduro 2 is the king!!! I find it looks the best and I will hopefully keep it for the rest of my life. Im truly in love with this watch, plus I got it on sale for 725.00 USD. In my mind no comparison. But obviously the tactics is specially designed for a very select subgroup of users. Go with the Enduro 2 I promise you'll fall in love with it too>
If the 965 doesn't grow to the size of the Fenix models (diameter and depth) I can't wait to see it. I am really tempted by the Fenix 7 with organic LED. The touch screen is a bonus, I guess. But I looked at the display models and the one I saw with sapphire crystal is much bigger than my FR935 and Fenix 5X with sapphire. The even larger watches are "cool" and "tough" but tbh the larger the watch the harder it is to keep it from getting damaged. The Forerunners are plastic, sure, but it's also much easier to keep them out of harm's way, realistically.
It definitely won't grow to the size of the Fenix 7! It will be slightly bigger, but probably the casing size of the 945. You must've been looking at the 7X I'm going to guess!
The difference in price is about 15% (for the "full" version). Not too much, imho. But if one compares the prices on ebay for Fenix 6X and Tactix Delta, the difference is much higher.
Great video. Bonus points for not marathon speed talking like some reviewers..! Solar definitely useful my part of the world about 8 months of the year. Just to clarify... which of these three ships with TWO straps in the box? Do any of these three have the ECG function? Thank you..!
Love the Tactic 7 Pro, the bezel is nicer less bulky. I do use the flight features and the green led flashlight.. The Enduro 2 would be good for ultra distance, multi day use..
What are the 60 05 10 15 numbers around rhe bezel and what are they used for? Btw i got my self an epix gen 2 and i love it! Great video mate! Keep em coming!
Traditional diving watches have bezels that you can set with the sweeping hands to track underwater time. I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to. Pilot's watches also have sweeping bezels with similar markings so you can track the minute and second hands from a movable reference point rather than being forced to start at 12 o'clock and then subtracting your actual start time.
Good question, I don't tend to notice a significant difference with the solar glass versus the standard Sapphire, but I do prefer the look of the T7 standard over the pro with the solar ring.
Got the 6X, 7, 7X, Enduro 2, Instinct 2 Solar and Epix 2 and ended up with the Apple Watch Ultra. Why? Cellular and heart accuracy. I was not satisfied with the measurement of the Garmin. Do I miss something? Sure battery life (Epix with aod is not that better) and offline navigation. If Garmin ever provides Cellular with working sms and calls I am the first to switch again if battery will stay strong, too Thank you for your video and greetings from Germany!
Thanks so much! You have tried them all! Yes - those two factors are definitely hard to compete with - the AWU is a good option if you can get used to the necessity for the apps - hope you enjoy it!
@@jaydenac Not very big difference. But Tactics looks beefier side by side. You can notice the difference when you put them by side, but epix is not small either. Im 6.8 and muscular and epic still looks decent on my wrist. Tactixs though is like a tank on the wrist. Its beefy and more tactical looking than epix. Looks wise tactx looks better. Also it depends on what you will use it for. On every day fitness, biking, tracking, mapping i would say epix is more optimal due to amoled screen. I bought tactix mainly due to looks and it looks really sick. One thing that sucks on epix is that the 22 mm silicon band looks smaller, 26 mm looks way better on the arm. if you have like big wrist i would go for epic 2 pro (51 mm) if you care about performance more. It will do everything that tactix does minus few exclusive military stuff. It also has flash light like tactix. Tactix if looks matters, if performance depending on wrist size 47 mm or 51. 51 mm can look pretty silly if you have small wrist. Its like having gshock mudmaster on kids wrist.
@@jaydenac Not much smaller, difference is not that big, but tactix looks beefier. If looks matter to you go for tactix. Its really eyecatch watch specially with the titanium carbon grey dlc band. If you care about performance only go for epix pro 51 mm if big wrist, if not 47 mm. Epic does pretty much everything tactix does minues few stuff and amoled screen is way more practical. Not saying epix looks bad, im 6,8 big muscular guy and epix 47 mm still looks decently big on the army. But if i would have a choice i would go for 51 mm epix or tactix if looks matters to you, because 26 mm band looks better on the army any day of the week.
These watches have excellent features and battery life but the display lacks. I had the 7X and loved everything except the display and backlight. Sold it and might go to an Instinct 2X.
Yes I love the base model! I haven't noticed the dull/cloudy look on the three different solar sapphire watches I've tested, but I know it does have a slight impact
@@fitgearhunter Thanks Bro. I wore it for 2 years and my primary reason for not getting the Tactix is 1. I'm not military nor use any of the features and 2.That sharp corner bezel. The nylon band that comes with the Pro is great, but the stiffness get's to you after a while. Overall, for me, the Fenix 7 and mostly the Enduro 2 is the best suited for me. I love the fabric band of the Enduro 2. I have 180mm wrists and yes the fabric band is a little difficult to get on and off an wish it has more length, but I love it!!

I bought enduro 2 and i love it✌️
Yep - my favorite for sure
I had Tactix 7 pro but had to return it since battery lasted only 19-21 days.
But great design and great watch.
Yes I can see that! I had the same if I turned up my backlight, which I always do - def great design
My fave would be the Enduro 2 with the appearance of the Tactix. However I went with the 955 because it's such a great deal. I wouldn't want to spend so much on a watch if it gets outdated in the next cycle.
The 955 is the sweet spot for me as well. Let's see what happens with the 965.
Thank you for the video. I have and prefer the Tactix 7, so was with Tactix Delta. Enduro 2 has a flashlight that is twice as bright as both T7 and F7, wish that came over to both.
I know, and I love it, although I'm not sure I notice the difference in brightness after using them all in day to day. Thanks!
Enduro 2 would be my pick. Question is (in the middle of Feb 2024), should I buy Enduro 2 or wait for Enduro 3? WDYT?

Would have been awesome having the Tactix 7 standard so could compare the screen visibility against the others!
I know! I wish I had gotten the same - but it has been great testing the Pro!
I like the Tactix Pro for that flat bezel and band but not the price. Fenix 7X SS is what I went with. Great video.
The difference in price is about 15% (for the "full" version). Not too much, imho. But if one compares the prices on ebay for Fenix 6X and Tactix Delta, the difference is much higher.
Thanks so much! I have loved them all, the design of the Tactix being the best - and the F7XSS has every feature of them all at the best price!
Great video. Bonus points for not marathon speed talking like some reviewers..! Solar definitely useful my part of the world about 8 months of the year. Just to clarify... which of these three ships with TWO straps in the box? Do any of these three have the ECG function? Thank you..!
Hey! No ECG on any, and only the tactix 7 pro ships with two bands! Thanks!
@@fitgearhunter Thank you sir..!
Love the Tactic 7 Pro, the bezel is nicer less bulky.

Yes - the Tactix has the best bezel design by far - thanks for sharing!

Do you know if there is any validity in people saying that the Tactix 7 Standard is more clear inside? Because of no solar tech in the glass?
Good question, I don't tend to notice a significant difference with the solar glass versus the standard Sapphire, but I do prefer the look of the T7 standard over the pro with the solar ring.
@@fitgearhunter thank you. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work.
Where I love the Enduro os literally half the price of the tactix.
Got the 6X, 7, 7X, Enduro 2, Instinct 2 Solar and Epix 2 and ended up with the Apple Watch Ultra.
Why? Cellular and heart accuracy. I was not satisfied with the measurement of the Garmin.
Do I miss something? Sure battery life (Epix with aod is not that better) and offline navigation.
If Garmin ever provides Cellular with working sms and calls I am the first to switch again if battery will stay strong, too

@@Shawn-ky2tw I am Always 100% when I Go to the gym a watch dont need to say that to me 😜
I like the enduro 2...is there any good price now ?
Tactix bezel is a killer
My only reason for shifting to it
Which one did you end up going with?
Enduro 2 all the way!
Love the look of all of them but tactix looks best. However for me green flashlight is less appealing to me than red.
Definitely Enduro 2, just got one and love it
Me too! Love the look of the tactix best but the enduro 2 is my watch of choice!
@@fitgearhunter I agree completely!
Tactix all day. Much better looking. Got epix 2, bought tactix 7 pro now
Yep - now I'm just waiting on the new Tactix update to go along w the othes this year
You notice a huge size difference in the 47m vs 51mm?

Tactix. The best design ever.
Yes for sure
The best design is Marq 2
These watches have excellent features and battery life but the display lacks. I had the 7X and loved everything except the display and backlight. Sold it and might go to an Instinct 2X.
Just bought Enduro 2 for $599 on Amazon Prime Day. No brainer.
Tactix because the base model is sapphire without solar. The solar screen has a dull / cloudy look without heavy sunlight.
Yes I love the base model! I haven't noticed the dull/cloudy look on the three different solar sapphire watches I've tested, but I know it does have a slight impact
Recently bought Tactix 7 Pro for training, and paid more just because it looks better than 7X. Not even using the tactical features.
Yep - completely - many do! It def has the best design of all of them
I had the Tactix Delta and now went with the Enduro 2 because that sharp edge on the bezel with the tactix damaged enough of my walls.
@@Shawn-ky2tw Oh wow - haven't heard that! Thanks for sharing

Tactix 7 looks the best imo and has aviation capabilities.
Yep! Enduro 2 for me all the way, but I do love the tactix bezel
Enduro 2 is the beast.
Yep! In full. Although the new and brighter 7X pro is appealing too! But only if coming from a later model!
If money was no issue, Tactix 7 Pro
T7P all day
It is definitely an awesome watch!
