The screen is unbelieveable

As a long time Fenix 5 owner, I was looking for just a bit more out of my watch and data. I was taken aback by the brightness of the screen and the ease at which it scrolls. Theses were all big positives for me. The running data has been very easy to configure and provide timely results.

I researched this watch forever before actually making the purchase and it did not disappoint. My main purpose was to use it for golf but I'm loving all the other features too.
This watch has met and probably has exceeded my expectations. The hardware is excellent. The software is very responsive. Sure, you're limited in apps compared to an Apple watch, but the battery life is up to a dozen times better if you set the display to come on with a wrist gesture and last 6 days even with the screen turned on. The AMOLED screen has got to be the best in the business. I was a bit skeptical that it would be bright enough in daytime outdoors but it's just fine. Although geared towards the serious athlete this watch is a great choice for anyone who is active, especially outdoors. I have this watch paired with my pixel 6 smartphone and it works great with it. I was even able to download pixel watch faces to it.

I use this watch every day. I have used it hiking, running, snowboarding, biking, and everything in between and the watch has never left my side. I came from a 5th gen Fenix and the screen on this new Epix watch BLOWs the pants off the Fenix display. Sure it doesn't get the crazy battery life of the Fenix but I can still manage close to a week without having to charge it and to me, that is a good enough trade-off for the display.
I have a Fenix 6 and added this to the collection in order to get touch screen. The Fenix 6 was robust and I liked everything about it except having to button through menus. Touch screen has alleviated this frustration. My use for this watch is primarily for tracking fitness which is excels at. I went with white for something different. I would have gone silver if it were offered.
