Both have
- latest v5 HR sensor capable of skin temp and ECG
- Flashlight
- AMOLED screens
While Fenix 8 has
- Speaker / half baked voice assistant
- Scuba features
- New UI
I wouldn't pay extra $500 (1099-649) for those two features.
If retailers know this and/or Garmin communicates discounting strategy such that Epix is not sold at fire sale, then I DON'T think we will see deeper discounts. Also, discounting depends on how much inventory is left over for Epix.
I have 47 mm Epix Pro 2 but looking for 51 mm Epix Pro 2 or Tactix 7 AMOLED, so I am also in the same boat of deciding what to do.
Damn inflation. 😂
Maybe the best thing to do is buy this and HODL for a few more days in case a better deal appears?
