I just got mine 3 weeks ago I really enjoy it so many features and just fun I do some hiking on weekends it holds up well as far as battery with my usage I get about 3 days with 30% left so I think that’s great for a smart watch it will get better in due time I feel confident leaving my phone at home knowing I can still do what I have to do
It was not clear to me why you picked AWU2 instead of any other. Kindly in future show it in practical what was so helpful in AWU2 . Will be helpful to understand in real life use
If you have the AWU 1 or 2 and an Epix gen 2 pro 51mm like me you wouldn't have to ask, but Ill tell you. I love my AWU more than any watch out there as it's a smart watch and a very capable sports watch with athlytic, and work out doors app and my Epix can NOT compare as a daily driver now I know someone will say heart rate and metrics but apple with work outdoors app has more than Garmin and they are accurate because I pair a Polar h10 to both watches at the same time so..... only thing that is battery which will never bother me as I charge daily both watches if they need it or not. I love my Garmin watch also love my Garmin so much that I have a 965 and the Epix gen 2 pro 51mm because it does way more than the 965 these watches do sports tracking very well and hard to give that up but funny enough I use my Epix pro on my boat as it connects to my trolling motor and all my Garmin instruments also has an anchor drift alarm so I can stay on the tiny reefs I have found over the years fishing off the coast of Alabama and my AWU can't do that yet so I wear both watches every day all day AWU on the left wrist and My Garmin Epix pro g2 on the right wrist with some nylon straps because the straps that came with it dig into my skin. I will be upgrading every new watch for both apple and Garmin if the upgrade is worth upgrading like I didn't buy the AWU 2 just couldn't justify it yet but the 3rd version is in my sights, same goes for Garmin soon as the next big update happens Ill have it also but never anymore 965s I am still mad I bought that watch as soon as I got it I bumped into my fridge and put a scratch on it from top to bottom of the face it wasn't even 24 hours old made me sick!!! So, I'll never own another watch unless its titanium or stainless and sapphire crystal ONLY!!!! I think for 635 bucks Garmin should have put sapphire on the DAMN 965 as popular as it is!!!
@@davidbraswell1481 Okay that was the longest and most fantastic reply ever. I had the Ultra 1 which was totally not accurate even with itself. I would get different distances for the same route. So I sold it for the Garmin Epix which has been great and very accurate. I came across an Ultra recently for $640 in basically new condition so I thought I'll give it a try. And what a different experience. Totally accurate every time. And yes I agree it's just fanatic how it connects to my iPhone and Fitness app and the Health app. I have the Series 8 + cellular which I scored for $175 (no joke) and I wear the Ultra 2 for workouts. I am a running coach so I will keep the Epix as some of my clients use Garmin (most of them). I also agree I think the 965 should be $499 and the 265 should $349. Garmin seems to be pricing themselves about $100 more than they should. Probably because they know they will have their watches on sale so they mark them up. Good times!
I bought a Garmin Fenix pro x took it back the next day and bought the Apple Watch Ultra 2. big difference in battery but I think the average person is not running an ultra marathon. I charge my watch every night and never worry about battery life.
Crazy talk! 😂. Seriously though, Ty, great watch - glad to see you made a choice. Hopefully you’re hiking up Prairie Mountain as I type this, collecting some cool data, and basking in the mountain air & views. ⛰️😎
Can never go wrong with selling stuff for newer stuff!
Yea, I really dislike decision fatigue. This watch is all I need…..this week! 🫣😂
Like the series 9 watch
Can't go wrong with it too!

I got the Ultra 2 and the Garmin Epix. Any reason you didn't go with the Epix?

100% I have no regrets going from a Garmin Fenix to an Apple Watch Ultra 2
