Why I am ditching the Apple Watch Ultra! Garmin Fenix Pro Solar and Epix Gen 2🔥

🚨DECEMBER 2023 - 6 MONTHS LATER UPDATE:    • Goodbye, Apple Watch Ultra! 🥹 Garmin Epix ...  

The Apple Watch Ultra has been a fantastic product for me, without a doubt the highlight in 2022. But Garmin produces incredible smartwatches too such as the Garmin Fenix Pro and Epix Pro.

In this video I share my findings after trying the Fenix Pro Titanium Solar and the Epix Gen 2. It’s not as ‘clear cut’ as I’d like to be but I found a decent compromise for now and I hope my findings help you decide too, if you’ve been on the fence.
