Garmin Vs G Shock!!

Comparing the new GBD H1000 and the Fenix 5x/Tactix Charlie for the more serious runner
PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE TECH RELATED STUFF!!
** IMPORTANT UPDATE**
Whilst the Tactix Charlie/5X are still great watches and the video on that front still stands, Garmin have now released a more closely aligned G Shock competitor with solar power which sells for less than the GBD H 1000.
Enter the Garmin Instinct Solar - check it out!!
It has a similar look to the G Shock with a TON more functionality!!

    I look for fuctionality vs price. If you look at garmin there is more fuctionality in there. G shock well its a gshock nothing else. Additionally gshocks price is a bit on the higher end considering the fuctionality it provides hence i would go with garmin. If i want a good looking watch then there are a lot of low cost gshock options out there.

    G-shocks are awesome ( I own 5 solar-powered models; 10+ years old and function flawlessly) but can't compare to the stats Garmin offers. For the serious trainer, Garmin is about the only option... not a fan of Garmin's aftermarket support though. I've used Fitbit... doesn't play well with other apps... and the Apple watch Series 5.... more of just an iPhone extension.

    You cannot even begin to compare these two if you're using for fitness. Garmin is hands down better. The Garmin has the exact same mil standard rating at 810 so the G Shock isn't even more durable. People just assume it is because it says G Shock. Scratches are not an indicator of durability. Being able to survive being banged around, resistance to dust and other particles, withstand extreme heat and cold. That's durability. Not if the screen gets scratched or not. You can completely freeze the Instinct and it will still be ticking.

    @@champagnejunior They are very comparable and aimed at a similar market. Casio launched this for the fitness market which Garmin and others also target. There are however differences in features and construction but they are still aimed at the same market. Much like Fitbit and Garmin where the latter has maps. GPR B1000 is similar in some respects to the Charlie in that it has a navigation facility but it isn't for fitness. As for battery yes it's great but functionally it doesnt compare. Personally I would simply get a cheap solar battery and have Garmins functionality. G Shock succeeds because of its loyal following (of which I am one), mainly because no other watch looks as kick ass. But for functionality, they are appalling for the money
