Too bad the battery not replaceable. My last $500 Garmin battery died in 2.5y and Garmin would give me a discount on a new one which went up a few hundred in 2.5y. No thanks. If it can't be repaired (esp a $15 battery) while excellent devices, not providing money to them anymore. I traded it in for a Pixel 3 watch very happy (for $100).

Good to see a discount on premium tier Garmin anytime. World class GPS with basically the entire world map so he can't get lost anywhere., rugged and waterproof to a pretty good depth if you happen to be in water, tracks just about anything you would want healthwise, and has detailed golf course maps and distances so it easily replaces the $500 plus Golf devices and watches. It seems expensive until you realize is probably the most EDCI device you will ever have. And man that flashlight is so valuable to have at all times.

My god. Finally made a move from Apple watch to Garmin (Not Fenix 8, Venu 3). I am veryy happy with the decision. Battery easily lasts two weeks with four hours of workouts every week, compared to one day with Apple. Love the Garmin ecosystem. Also, I can change my phone from iPhone to Android anytime I want. F Apple and its walled garden.

Some color and case combinations are 799$ on the Garmin website. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/12...-02904-00/

As mentioned by another user, the cheaper watches have Corning Gorilla Glass 5 instead of Sapphire. Sapphire scratches less and shatters more, Gorilla Glass shatters less and scratches more.

My 6-year-old Fenix 6 is still going strong. The battery life isn't great anymore, but still very liveable. I just got the new Enduro 3 with Solar precisely to alleviate some of the long-term battery concerns. 30+ day battery life without solar charging, 90+ days with moderate sun exposure, and still has all of the same sensors and tech as the Fenix line, minus the dive features.

as far as i know, the battery isn't user replaceable but it is replaceable (which smart watch has user replaceable battery?).
there are youtube videos showing you how to do it. obviously that might mean the water proof maybe compromised

Is the other color combo stainless steel for 800$ vs the titanium one for 900$? I would probably prefer titanium for a watch used the way this one is intended to be used.

One of these days my Fenix 3 HR will die and I can use one of these deals. But today is not that day.
