My Fenix 6 Pro unfortunately broke after 5 years due to water damage. Garmin gave me a 45% discount on the Fenix 8 Solar. I would have preferred to keep the 6 Pro, and despite the discount I’m still upset with Garmin, because I only used the Fenix 6 Pro while showering and I don’t understand how a watch rated water-resistant to 100 meters can suffer water damage from that. The inside of the watch was completely wet and moldy, and the buttons were never pressed while showering.

Helix Heritage just got an update this morning and I cannot stop switching hands! Genuinely excited.

Version 1.1 ships with three properly adapted hand styles: Portal Hybrid, Modello GMT, and Helix Heritage native: and the key word here is adapted. These are not copy-paste ports from our other faces. Each set was individually crafted to feel at home on Helix Heritage’s dial, and separately tuned for both AMOLED and MIP screens so they look considered on every device.

My favourite AMOLED setup:
Modello GMT hands, Baby Blue, 80% transparency, Night Red second hand, shadows on.

My MIP setup:
Portal hands, Baby Blue, solid, Night Red second hand, shadows on.

What I love about this is that you are not changing the watch face. You are changing the whole mood of the watch face.

Go update your Helix Heritage to the latest version with many fixes and improvements:

Today I suddenly thought about whether Expedition mode can squeeze more battery during paused mode and after I tried I can still use the watch as usual.

Remaining life jump from 25 days to 70 days with 77% battery left.

My first Garmin(s). Coming from Galaxy Watch Ultra. I already love the battery life. I couldn't decide between the 2, I see advantages and disadvantages of both. Still a lot to learn about but I'm looking forward to it!

So my fenix 6s pro 42mm died on holiday last week. Fermin are offering me 30% off a new watch! My only issue is I loved my fenix but the 42 battery wasn’t as great as my partners 5x(which is still great) I went to try on the 47 but it’s so uncomfortable and the black strap is so long! I hate the white garmins as mine was white and got filthy. So I can get the gold either way sandstone for about £610 with discount. Not actually a great saving as 3rd parties selling for £700! O had really hoped to get the 47mm but I don’t know why it’s so uncomfortable! I even tried the Apple Watch Ultra which is huge but comfortable! I don’t know what to do! I’m worried about 43mm battery, do I just like the look of the Apple as it’s shiny? Will I miss Garmins sensible features? I love using maps and that’s the big thing for me! I love body battery and training status etc! Help a small wrist hiker out!

Hello everyone.
I hope someone has an answer for me.

I have this white "line"? at the top of my watch, between the screen and the Bessel" and halfway around the watch.

It doesn't seem to be dirt, I assume it could be a scratch but I haven't noticed it before today.

It doesn't affect the watch so far, but I do worry whether it can affect the actual screen in time.

Looks amazing with black Fenix 8!
That’s original Garmin Chestnut leather case.

PS: Used for a bit but for me it even better for leather!

Has anyone had a tough time adjusting to garmin coming from Apple?

I Got this same watch over a month ago but I never really tried to give it a proper go. I decided to return it and go back to my Apple Watch Ultra. But I noticed last night that they were on sale by a lot. Got it for $1100 CAD so it was kind of a no brainer. Basically the same price for the ultra.

Accidentally took a look at my wrist today when driving and thought that it looked good.
