Ordered one. Awesome deal. I was waiting for the Fenix 7 to come down but the price is too good. I just the Samsung Galaxy watch 5 Pro for $150 after I traded in my Watch 4 Classic. I had a Fenix 3 that I don't use anymore. I can't wait to get this one. I hope the OLED screen is as good as my Samsung. That was the only disappointment of the Fenix lineup was the screen.
I'll buy the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro from you, if you are willing?

The price of $899 is set by the manufacturer and/or aafes.

Main reason is screen and battery life
Garmin is best for gps accuracy especially very serious runners with their training.

I have one although I'm not the above. My main complaint is that it's finicky with Bluetooth to headphones

It is not an iPhone/watch if u want to use it as such.

This or the apple ultra watch. Gift for somebody that likes the outdoors.
It depends on the person. If that person have a lot of Apple product then I would say Apple except for me 😀. I have a lot of Apple products but I absolutely dislike the Apple watch. I tried it out for about a month and returned it.

A watch is too personal of a product, similar to jewelry.

I have MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones but will never again buy an Apple watch. I like classic watch looks and feel.

This is a no brained for me but if I'm spend close to $1k, I would save up the money and buy a TAG, Omega, or Breitling watch.

That's a lot of money for a gift. I would ask the person.

Our family is also in the Apple eco system with MacBooks, mac mini, iPads and Apple Watches. I personally didn't like/want the Apple Watch experience and ultimately went with a fenix 7 sapphire solar, picking up a like-new one on FB for $500.

As mentioned how you use it and your expectations will determine what model is best for you. I wanted to focus more on health/stat tracking, like the watch form factor, the face customization and most importantly the battery life and weight. I didn't want something I needed to charge almost everyday so battery life for me is worth more than the Epix's screen and lack of solar option.

Of course now I'm on the hunt for an Enduro 2 with an even more ridiculous battery life over the 7SS or 7XSS…

Edit: all that said this is a GREAT price for an Epix 2, would totally get it if I qualified! We'll deserved for those who do, thank you for your service!

Happy I got one through my dad, who's a vet, thanks OP for pointing this out. He had a horrible time making the order, but not sure if it's because the site is glitchy or if he's 82. How buggy is the AAFES site? He even tried to give me his login info and that wouldn't work for me.

Now what to do with the unopened S62 under my Christmas tree and my almost new Galaxy 5 pro….

Great watch with Ton of features but pretty heavy.
This is what i'm wondering. The weight says 53 grams on the website but that doesn't sound right. I have a Garmin 925 and love the light weight but it's getting long in the tooth.
