Best ever Fenix 9 pro

The best FENNIX I’ve ever owned—and I’ve had them all—is, honestly, the best of the lot. I’ve been using their products for years, and they have never let me down in terms of performance. I hope that one day I might receive some kind of reward for having purchased so many products from their brand. We even have their navigation systems in our helicopter; in our Bell 505, we have the complete Garmin system installed.
This watch does everything and then some! I tried other brands and have never been fully satisfied with lower priced options. One of my key features I like is the automatic text message sent to my emergency contact when an activity has begun, this allows them to know I am okay anywhere I run. I use this watch for marathon trining & running, it's perfect for my need.
I've been a Garmin Fenix watch user since the Fenix 3, and I've had every generation since. This is the first time i've been completely disappointed in my purchase. I own many garment products, including scale, blood pressure monitor, bike computers, pedals, watches, and many other items too numerous to count. I've owned the watch about thirty days now and I consider my Fenix 8 a far superior watch. My model nine is slow, clunky and really is not a pleasure to use. Boot up takes forever. I'm hopeful that garmin will improve and work out the bugs of this watch in the future. And reserve my final judgment until then. But right now, i'm sorry, I made the purchase.
I love it so far. I am still learning all its functions and how to use them but it isn't too bad. There are plenty of tutorials and information from other users to get you started.
This is a really cool watch, has so many more features than an Apple Watch. And am very impressed with the battery life, it stays charged for close to a month between charges. Love the inreach capabilities, feel like I have a backup safety network even when I don’t have cell service.
