And in euro as well 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ChristianSlagter]

Thank you for the comparison 👍🏻. Where do you think the Suunto Race stands, especially regarding the price?

[@anthonyrampino7734]

Nice comparison. Out of Garmin , Suunto, coros and polar which one do you think is easiest to work with for maps and gym workouts as far as watch/apps?

[@andreasnelder2199]

Hello, thank your for the detailled comparison! Could you tell me the manufacturer of your garmin epix pro (nylon?) watchband? Thank you!

[@The_running_tech_guy]

Garmin has a great one - choose the latest model.

[@Iriroro]

Curious as well

[@peterhrvola272]

I just got the Grit X2 Pro, how do you find the buttons compared to Garmin? For me they feel a bit loose a and every button slightly different. Is that maybe problem of my watch?

[@DiogoFilipeR]

I got a Grit X Pro and the buttons are pretty solid, although they rotate to avoid moisture and dirt to get under it and make it stuck, maybe thats the same with the new version, do they rotate? thats normal

[@georgevadnais3516]

About the wrist heart rate sensor on every watch. I don’t really mind. I use a co heart rate armband heart rate monitor.

[@radoslavstoev4550]

Still for that price the HRM should be more accurate.

[@markherbert8542]

I bought the epix gen2 for £375 in the UK. Even got an extra 7% discount through a work gift card scheme. Brilliant watch!

[@Helleuphoria]

Where from?

[@markherbert8542]

@@Helleuphoria H Samuel's in the UK. Regularly have epix gen2 for £375

[@ActiveIdeas]

How far do you think Polar should drop the price?

[@seanvk]

It's a shame there is such an imbalance in the market. It makes comparison reviews rather predictable

[@tadejdanev5030]

GARMIN EPIX 400€ where? :)
