Garmin Fenix
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- the Fenix is a high-end watch, at around 4x the price. It is specifically made for the type of activity you recorded, with stuff like enhanced GPS accuracy.
- I bought a Garmin 540 for the maps and a Garmin Fenix watch to gather my Strava data.
- for me the Tactix, Fenix, and even 955/965/970 forerunner have what I want in a watch and that’s: - onboard mapping - onboard music - NFC - Dedicated flashlight on newer models - Style I like the most
- Garmin Fenix, red light keeps my pee on target.
- Fenix has the better battery life. MIP has always on display wuth even better battery life vs amoled.
Cons
- I think the Fenix is priced pretty excessively too.
- The Fenix has a much larger battery, but it doesn't feel much brighter, and it just died in RGB mode even though they were both turned on under the Christmas tree at the same time.
- both have greenish tint especially at lower modes but Nitecore has more green than Fenix.
- If you already have a head unit, you don't need anything fancy like the Fenix.
- Fenix an Enduro is too expensive and heavy for my tiny wrist
