I think The 2x seems more wearable as a daily watch (style similar to a G-Shock) over the more obvious sports warch design of the 965.

Looks like an interesting app that would be nice to try. It did have an extensive privacy policy that was a bit to much to dig into so I did not download it. Until now I have used the Gentler Fitness Streak app. The problem is that the values these apps extract is not that difficult to assess just using the Apple Health app and synchronizing the stats from a few different metrics. They just present them really nice, which is fine. Another thing that these app tries to evaluate is your readiness to exercise. And it is a bit annoying when the Garmin Connect app or the Gentler app suggest I should be stepping up my game when I really do not feel ready to. I have developed my own app called the "The average jogger companion" that does not suggest anything. It takes the information that is stored in Apple Health from whatever device that is recording it and displaying it in a really nerdy way. The only thing it adds that the Health app does not have is the average value of every metric over the last 14 days. I have done this to show a trend. Mostly to see if my running is progressing in any direction. But it was also really helpful to be able to see resting hearth rate and heart rate variability in the same view and see how a hard workout influences those metrics. I.e. learn myself how my body reacts and act accordingly.

It is a monthly app subscription for people outside US, with no suit, using iPhone camera 😢 I wish they would sell suit overseas…

Apple needs to step up their game with battery life and fitness data and recommendations natively. The Superset App shouldn’t be necessary. I imagine so much nice stuff with clever AI and all the data the watch and phone collects… apple health could be such a game changer.

Love the look of all of them but tactix looks best. However for me green flashlight is less appealing to me than red.

What is the difference between the suunto vertical steel and the vertival titanium

Does the Garmin's training readiness vary throughout the day, such as showing if I'm still good for a second workout? The part you mentioned about it being hidden if the workout has an anaerobic effect greater than 3 doesn't clarify if a lighter workout would keep the training readiness visible for a second workout.

Kept promising to describe the locking mechanism but then never spent much time on it nor mentioned that you don't need to use the velcro. If you came here to learn about it, I would recommend this 47-sec video instead: th-cam.com/video/linphPk9rGc/w-d-xo.html

I just don’t care about watch brand wrist heart rate sensor. I prefer to use my coros heart rate monitor armband. Icpair it with my Garmin forerunner 965 and it’s the best for the my type of exrcise.

Oh snap. I had NO idea that Oofos made shoes. Thanx for the heads up. I can't wear slides, but can wear flip flops. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on some Oofos Flip Flops. Thanx for the video.

if you had to choose just one device to track your whole health , what would you suggest? UH or AW+Superset?

Can you have music saved on Suunto and listen without phone?

Awesome video, with all the detailed accuracy tests. Thanks 👍

Does the Garmin Tactical come in 50MM?

great review, thank you so much for the review.keep it up.!!

Love your summary of if you prioritize smart watch integration get Apple Watch. If you prioritize fitness get garmin epix. I love the screen of Apple Watch over the mips fenix 3 but love the fenix 3 for it buttons and tracking features. Fast forward epix has beautiful screen and real health integrations. Key difference is all the apps in garmin have low level access to gear while apple third party developer have to rely on api to get their data which means less optimization thus poorer experience. Agree that garmin had decades of experience to know how to handle data including obvious erroneous data like you saw in the hrv reading. Everything well integrated and producing meaningful data make garmin the champ in health fitness. Both apple and garmin known for their ccntinuous meaningful updates

Can you play music on the fenix watch without having your phone near?

The Easy round data face is a good one too. Thanks 👍🏾

I’m confused, do I get Superset or Bevel?

For the price. Why do they not include a nato?

What about the Hoka Ora??? Come on…clearly this was not an impartial view - shame

I stay with forerunner 965 and i download the watch face of the Félix and epix pro, it’s cheaper 😂😂😂😂

The superset or now “bevel” app has a better interface (seems more simple and polished). I am curious to hear if others are noticing significant differences in the recovery score between it and Athlytic. I have free version of both answers trying to decide which pro version to get. This morning I woke up with fairly poor night of sleep, bevel had my recovery as 71% and Athlytic at 21%. I feel like the 21% was more accurate or reflected how I felt. Just curious if there’s a specific reason why they would be so different coming from same AW ultra 1 source ??

3 things: 1) if you think it works - it works and science here is helpless, 2) your protein intake to body weight ratio is good for sculpting your body, but not for longevity (you decide what's more important), 3) same day intermittent fasting doesn't work unless you're a mouse (on whom all those tests were done, but whose metabolic cycle is quite different from humans); what might work is shifting more food to the early hours of the day vs evening.

May 2024, and I just picked up a new 2x Solar Tactical on Amazon for $350 🙌🏻

The s2 is nearly 4 years old. Garmin needs a new scale

I always enjoy your reviews. You give great information that is so useful to me.

Garmin seems to know what the date should be and present the data best as well. A lot better and cleaner info than any other tracker I've tried. Stress chart is so much more informative and correct than Fitbit, Huawei ect... I feel like there's no much thought behind the algorithms of those more generic brands, they seem to not know what there are doing actually...

Great review! Ive been using the power lab chest strap for a while and love it. I got mine a couple years ago for about $25 and it conects with the polar app

Thank you. Used your code.

Their Metabolism data pulled from Libre 3 is very robust, better than Levels and Veri.

Garmin Body battery is also brutally honest with your state. When I had an exhaustive time I sometimes woke up with 36 in the morning, just getting only 28 over night, and it absolutely felt like this. Fun fact: my VA5 even recommended 4 or 6 h of recovery directly after waking up.

Forêt my question on you'r other video, now i have my answer 😂

Did you try the coros armband ? If yes, with one is bether ?

Couple of months ago, I switched from the AW Ultra 2 to Series 9 too. I was constantly bumping into something with the Ultra 2. So I decided to switch. I total agree with you. I loved the bright display, the size of the display and that the battery lasted so long. I‘ve gotten used to it now, but I miss the battery and the brightness of the Ultra…

I was thinking about changing from Fenix 7, but this is sooo disappointing

Let me get this right... You bought a $1k watch. A month later you are "letting it go" because of the price. You already bought it. But your next point was well taken. I don't use all these features so I should probably buy a Casio or something like that.

imagine beeing younger than 22 💀

I agree with your take and arguments. 265 is the sportswatch to go for. It doesn't compromise at the features.

This is a very informative video. I just ordered three bands and now I know how I’m going to install them confidently.

Great video thanks for sharing! I wondered if you had ever come across the Eclipse app at all before? I can’t work out where it sits in relation to the other apps you have tested? It’s from the makers of Healthfit. 🤔

I don’t see the App in the App Store. Do you have a link ?

For the life of me couldn't find the Superset app in apple health... as of 5/17/2024, it has been rebranded to 'Bevel: Longevity & Performance'. Will give it a try. I am a data nerd and have Whoop and and AW Ultra 2 that I use with Athlytic.

Superset changed their name to Bevel

Good review… 😁

Nobody else is doing reviews with such a substantial depth like you! Thank you!

I really wish you showed both displays at 100% to see the real difference.

Thanks for the video and a great point of view. I think also other youtubers (also the ones with most subscriber numbers) should also understand that Garmin is not for everyone and it's not also perfect. Ofcourse Garmin has all the metrics possible, but does everyone need those. Garmin does many things great but at least for me there is just little bit too much. E.g. the bodybattery, I feel even anxious looking that. Makes you want to have higher scores even though everything is just fine, just lots of sports and busy life... so after a while, just stopped to look that at all. Turned off the morning report etc... And I don't say that Polar or Coros or Suunto is the greatest either. Just that there are options. And people doing these reviews and impacting buying decisions, could understand that and tell that you don't necessarily have to look 10 different metrics to know how you feel. I don't think even premium athletes won't do that and they break world records :D

What would your recommendation be between the 255, 955 and Fenix 7 Pro for a 24/7 watch. Manual job and mainly weightlifting and running. I love the slimness of the 255 but the flashlight of the Fenix 7 Pro!

The perspective I'm taking on this is, that I've tossed the AWU2 and moved on to a Garmin Tactix Delta based on the 2019 Hardware of a Fenix 6 and this sucker beats the AWU2 with the 3.000 nits display and the Action button in every aspect I could imagine. Some regrets, but since I'm with my iPhone anyway, ApplePay and making phone calls are no issue. The end.
