Hello,
As I am a triathlete and love some ultra (10-24hours) sporting from time to time. I’m looking for a new watch. For me it is easy to stay within the garmin line because I’m using garmin for 10 years no wand I’m just very happy with the products.
But my recent fenix 5x is getting old and I’m looking for a new smartwatch. I doubt between the next ones for a few months now: Fenix 7x Pro, Endure 2, Epix Pro gen2, Forerunner 965,…
But maybe I should just wait fort he Fenix 8 by end of the year? Because I would love to have the ECG app on it…
Money is not a big issue but I’m not gonna buy a Fenix 7 now and the buy a Fenix 8 in half a year from now. And a garmin Marq is way too much 😊
First option.
Fēnix 7X Pro – Sapphire Solar Edition
Link -> https://www.garmin.com/...6230/pn/010-02778-11
Pro’s and Con’s -> At the moment I wear a Garmin Fenix 5x for a few years. Love this watch. So it would be easy to pick its successor. Only disadvantage I find is that the Fenix 7x pro is not that much of an upgrade after all these years. That is maybe the reason why I didn’t bought a new Fenix 7X pro yet and don’t know what to buy.
My score 8/10
Second option.
Forerunner 965
Link -> https://www.garmin.com/nl-BE/p/886725
Pro’s and Con’s -> This is the lighter and more aero model. It has everything we need. But then, I also wear my watch when I don’t do sport. And this one looks a bit simpel, not very robust, stylish, … cool.
So I don’t know. Price is good though.
My score 7/10
Third option.
Enduro 2
Link -> https://www.garmin.com/nl-BE/p/854515
Pro’s and Con’s -> Great battery life. I think very good watch for what my goals are. Only a bit of a shame there is only one color. I don’t like the green/lime/yellow. Also it is mor grey like casing. I just like black. Once you go black, you won’t go… The wristband not my thing but we can change that. Not cheap.
My score 7.5/10
Fourth option.
Epix Pro (Gen 2)
Link -> https://www.garmin.com/...4088/pn/010-02804-01
Pro’s and Con’s -> Cool watch. Looks nice. Some as the fenix 7x pro maybe. Due to amoled maybe less battery life.
My score 8/10

Wait for the Fenix 8, or go for one of the above? But what would u suggest?
