Thank you Aryan! Yes, I ordered the Garmin 7X a few days ago after being perplexed among the Fēnix, EPIX, and the Venu 2 Plus. I am looking forward to seeing the differences between the Fēnix 6X and 7X and excited to see what new functionality Garmin is giving consumers this year 😁🤞🧐🤨

G shock is already though great watch as it is. Add some smart functionality and you have the best watch.

Thanks! 👍 More to come about these two watches. I am about to film more of "Casio vs Garmin - Day 2 of 3" in a few seconds. I nearing the 24 hours later mark of when I started this fun, silly, and scientific test 😁 Okay, perhaps my test is borderline scientific and more of a pure technological and entertaining tests? I guess, you, I, and everyone else can cast their votes after the 77 hours of testing completes on Monday evening at 18:00 Mountain Time.

Hi... I'm just out of curiosity. May I know why you're testing more watches by spending your own money when you are not sure if you're going to make or not? 😅 And may I know what tablet is that your using for taking notes?

I test watches for fun! During the day pay the mortgage with the title of QA Software Engineer. Over the decades I have also tested hardware for various companies. Back in 2013 I purchase a Fitbit One fitness tracker and since then, yep, over 60 gadgets have come and gone into my techie life... I don't spend much of my own money for my KZread Channel became monetized back in 2020 and slowly more ad revenue has allowed me to purchase more gadgets to test. I find coupons and discounts whenever possible and once in a Blue Moon companies will send me free products to test (no contract, no script, no limitations). As for the reMarkable 2 tablet that I was taking notes on during this video, yes, that is one my favorites gadgets over the past two years for I use daily to jot down ideas, take notes for work, draw, entertain kids on road trips, read eBooks, and 44 other uses. Thanks for watching Jones Laura [JLTube] and I am glad you are curious.

My wrist is 7 inches in circumference. And yeah, these larger watches are not for everyone. It took me over a week feeling comfortable or rather desensitizing myself to sleeping with a larger watch like the Fenix 6X. For some strange reason it feels far more comfortable around my left wrist and then I wear either my Apple Watch 6 or my Samsung Galaxy Watch4 around my right wrist. Oh wait, and then my Oura Ring too 😁. My daily gadgets when I am not doing a testing project are: 1. Apple Watch (6 or 7 series) 2. Garmin Fenix 6X, Instinct Solar, vivomove style 3. Oura Ring Gen 2 4. Oura Ring Gen 3 (I decided to keep wearing by gen 2 and 3 of those OURA smart rings to conduct a year-long study comparison of the health metrics) Thanks for clicking on by and your comments are spot on!

@PeterHerget

2 жыл бұрын

Both! Yes, I have notes from 14 months ago and there are over 1,000 pages of notes, 20 eBooks. The battery life normally lasts me one week. If I put it into airplane mode it can easily last over two weeks (depending on use). I normally use my mine one hour to 90 minutes a day and still only charge it one or twice a week for one hour or so. I'll be releasing a new video about the reMarkable 2 e-ink tablet later this week...

Hi. I've read that due to the cut corners, the digits/letters that are in the bottom part of the watch are being cut a bit from each side. This is not meant to be in the non Solar model. Have you noticed that? I've looked at the part where you show the watch with both Sunrise and Sunset being shown on the LCD, and it seems OK. Thnx.

The Garmin Instinct Solar, yes, displays the name and or a number of the phone call coming into your connected smartphone if, and ONLY if the smartphone is within Bluetooth range. The Casio does bout the same thing. Neither of the watches reviewed in this video offers an internal nano-chip nor a speakerphone to talk or take the phone call directly on the watch. If you truly desire a 100% honest smartphone for taking calls like Dick Tracey you have two options: 1. An Apple Watch 2. A Samsung Galaxy Watch I hope this helps & Happy Presidents' Day

Good day . Could someone who has this watch tell me if the battery bars are charged on this watch while it is being recharged from the sun or not? It is that the battery tells me Low and the bars do not charge, I have been using it for 2 or 3 days and the battery level does not rise. And another question is when you press the light button, how many light leds turn on? I feel that it does not illuminate much, 2 leds light up. Austerea how many?

Yes, the bars and the battery percentage go up after just 30 minutes of direct sunlight on the Garmin. As for the Casio, yes, the battery bars would change after just 30 minutes.
