      @jamie-bg I agree, there’s no one size fits all. As I said already, I owned all Garmin Fenix watches (excluding the original one), 6 included. I owned more Garmin devices, and used them for more years, than Suunto ones 🙂

          @brad_olwin Hi, This morning, after updating Google Play services in the watch, a GPS icon appeared that had not appeared before. Does anyone have it too? Thanks. screen.png

          Yes - it annoys me!

            @nigel-taylor-0 The icon disappears when turned off and on again. At least for me.

              I ain’t doing that after the pain I had yesterday!

              Did a reboot because of other issues and ended up wasting about an hour having to fully reset and reconfigure the Watch the way I like it 😞 (and an hour recharging)

                      It shouldn’t look like that. It looks pretty much like a burn-in.

                          @patrick-löffler long story short, every new Fenix had more problems than the previous model, so after the Fenix 5 I bought an Instinct, GPS tracks were meh, the altimeter pretty bad, and one of the buttons broke. So while waiting for a replacement and having to move to a different continent for a while I bought a S9 baro. The ease of use and precision made me stay with Suunto after that.

                            @isazi Thank you for your answer. Regarding features Garmin wins. E.g. fall detection, nightly SPO2 tracking, easy changing and syncing data over several watches… but the actual usage is somehow more pleasant and more motivating with Suunto. I am very surprised because I never had Suunto on my radar. I enjoy it a lot too. One point actually are also the people in the forum. Seems Suunto has a good crowd! And it seems there are some features in the making which could lead up to being closer to Garmin regarding features.

                              @patrick-löffler probably not enough users so central limit theorem doesn’t apply XD.
                              (Basically independent of distribution adding independent variables = amount of “friendly” users approaches normal distribution for amount of variables -> infinity)
                              I’ve noticed it in smaller communities compared to larger ones.

                                  Garmin Enduro, COROS Vertix, and even Suunto 9 Peak beg to differ!

                                    @isazi nightly SPO2 tracking,

                                    You can do 24/7 SpO2 and see your Fenix 6 turn into Apple Watch 😅

                                    easy changing and syncing data over several watches…

                                    Sadly, training load doesn’t sync fully from watch to watch, only the summaries. So, if you train with one watch, then switch to another, there will be a break in your 7-day loads (and you still have to select a specific watch if you want to see it in the app). Neither does Body Battery sync between watches.

                                    For practical purposes, multi device sync is still a work in progress.

                                      It’s funny, I remember a number of years ago when I was running a 100km race and I had to take a little battery bank with me (as did everyone else). Nobody thought much of getting to the 60-80km mark and having to plug in and charge our watches back up

                                      Nowadays runners and endurance athletes won’t even consider a watch unless it has at least 20+ hours of battery life! Have to ask how many of them actually need that amount for their training and racing 😌

                                        I think it’s not just the race though. Longer GPS battery life means longer life, period. More time between charges even with heavy training. Should you displace your charging cable while in a faraway land, your watch continues to function because it has all the juice it needs.

                                        We are surrounded by devices nowadays, each with their own set of little routines. The fewer routines the better I’d say. Roam free! So, yeah… I love myself some battery life.

                                          Absolutely agree with you on this.
                                          I charge once a week whether I need to or not (can be anywhere between 40 -60% depending on how much tracking I do), but not having to worry about whether I need to or not makes such a huge difference.
                                          Take the S7 which has up to 18hrs of tracking, or 2 days normal battery life. If go out for a 3/4hr session you are going to have to charge the following morning and it can be touch and go if you need to do another 2/3/4 hr session prior to recharging. It is really nice not always having to worry/think about whether you have sufficient battery or not, and I would agree that for me that is definitely the main driver more than the fact that I can track for 66hrs continously (before using extending power save modes) - which I am likely to only use a couple of times in my life.

                                            Personally (and this is just my opinion) I don’t get the fuss about charging smartwatches. We all adapted from charging our old Nokia feature phones one every three years to charging out smartphones every two hours (obvious exaggeration, but I’m just making a point) and now it is the norm. We accept it, because a smartphone does significantly more than a feature phone.

                                            It is the same with smartwatches. They do WAY more than a traditional timepiece, and a fair bit more than a typical Garmin/Coros/Sunnto, etc. And with a bright AMOLED screen. Of course the battery won’t be as good.

                                            For me, I don’t wear my watch when I shower, so I pop it on the charger whilst I shower and do my usual morning routine.
                                            If I’m not doing GPS tracking activities I can do this every two days and it keeps it more than topped up. If I’m doing long GPS tracking (long for me is anything over 90 minutes) then I’ll need to top it up daily.

                                            Essentially, any time I take my watch off (which is usually only when I shower) it gets a top up. It’s easy, fast, and doesn’t disrupt my workflow at all. And ensures my S7 is always topped up. I’ve been doing this pretty much since day one and it has not yet affected the battery.

                                            (I even take my S7 camping and top it up with a power bank whilst I ‘shower’ with a wet wipe. Easily lasted me through a four day music festival last month).
