Limited smart functions with replying to messages or taking a phone call is really a no-go if you have to pay so much money for such a watch. I also cannot add my bank to this smartwatch, no LTE, all options on and about 4 days of battery life... You have made me doubt myself. :D I subscribed to you because you explain it best.
Excellent reviews Sir
Thank you
This is not a good running watch. I mean, maybe in UK with dull light. But I live in sunshine. Wear sunglasses out running. You can't read the numbers unless you get the angle right. Returned this to get a fenix where I can get a white background/black numbers. hope it works out.
Hello, I want this monitor for my Legion GO but I can't find anywhere what power does pass through usbc. I want to connect an 100w charger to this monitor and connect the Legion GO to the monitor and to be able to deliver at least 45w, preferably 65w. Could you please test this or confirm it if was already tested?
Would this be a good monitor for console gaming at all?
Yes it works great for console gaming, just bear in mind that it won't hit the same peak brightness as desktop monitors.
@@chrisguess yh I know that mate,I've got a screen at home that's 250 nits of brightness and it's perfect as I dont like bright screens anyway
It's actually a multisport watch. Using it just for running kinda makkes it seem like its been underutilized
why would they not let you keep that watch?
It’s just the way they operate I guess. Most of the running watch brands I have reviewed are the same just loan out review units for a few weeks and then I have to send them back.
“At once” is synonymous with “at the same time”, which this is not.
Fair point, I guess add a link cable🤷♂️?
If I were to get the Steam Deck, I'd probably mostly play Pinball Arcade. As several years ago, I bought all the tables on Steam as they lost the licenses, so I went ahead and bought them, though my laptop wasn't powerful enough to play it. Though I have a newer laptop that might, but haven't tried it yet. I've had Steam account for probably 10 years, though I don't really play, but I do buy games I like when they go on sale. So I may get a Steam Deck as I have a bunch of games bought but never played as I don't really like playing games on a computer.
Sounds like the steam deck is the perfect device for you to be honest. Pick up and play with minimal effort.
I wouldn't get the eMMC version, I'd get the NVME version as it is worth it in the long run with upgrades and I believe the NVME version is faster.
True but you can always upgrade.
It’s not noticeably faster from what I gathered but it is faster
Hi very informative video.. is it possible to buy a refurbished model with gift cards
I’m not sure, but I don’t see why not.
Fenix looks like shit..
Just ordered one. I think the sound quality of your video is very good. 🕐⚙️🍸
Chris this is awesome! I am looking for just this type of unit (insert). Thank you.
In the Chrome browser i cannot find the Dashboard anymore (after the April 2024 update). Do you know where they are located?
How to delete activity? How to rename activity? Most of important topics are uncovered.
The video is about how to create a custom activity, not how to manage activities in general. All of the "Uncovered topics" are the same as any other activity. This is not a how to use every function of your watch video.
@@chrisguess and that is exactly the problem of the video
That’s not the video I was making though.
@@chrisguess That's why your video is pretty much useless and just like 100500 other similar videos.
You need to stand a bit closer to the razor blade in the morning.
Why
Hi Chris,can you tell me please the name of the watch face 😊
Honestly I don’t know as I had to send the watch back, but it was one of the default ones. I may have changed the accent colour.
@@chrisguess thanks I discovered 👍
You deserve more subscribers man. +1
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Hi, I have same mic too, but mic It picks up a lot of background noise, do u have some tips to fix this?
I think all my settings are in the full review USB King? | Rode NT USB Mini Microphone Review & RODE Connect 1.1 Update Walkthrough kzread.info/dash/bejne/daeo07NppLeZiqw.html But basically turn on all of the auto features, compression etc.
@@chrisguess First I’m glad for your answer.I have seen your this video too. But I have a problem to use rode connect app because the app recognizes my microphone as a Headphone set. Because of this I cant use features of Rode Connect.
fantastic review - succinct, detailed, brilliant - and as somebody else said, no silly eye rolling or anything! Keep them coming
Thank you, I’ll do my best.
I only bought the garmin 255 music for music and it cuts out. It’s super annoying. Really bad for listening to music
Not used the 255, but that’s really disappointing to hear. I’ve recently gone back to an iPod, believe it or not.
How about tell us what you don't like about the watch? Otherwise it's just another review...
That’s what it is a review. I’m happy with the content but thanks.
Too much bullshit basically features that 85% of people do not use. Can it measure IQ level 😂?
The problem with this Garmins is they are too complicated to use. They also missing most important functionality in my opinion… is being able to make a call without a phone in any emergency
I think it’s horses for courses. Those features are more smart watch than adventure watches, obviously those two things cross over far more than they did before. Personally I find them fairly intuitive to use but it may be what you’re used to.
Yeah but 750£ hmmmmm
It’s expensive for sure. It’s also the reason I don’t own one!
Hodně slov, málo přesvědčivých ukázek.
It’s a bag, you can put stuff in it. Not sure what you was expecting?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Straight to the point and not silly voices or eye rolling narration. Thanks. Still torn between this and the 955
Thanks I try to not waste peoples time.
Silly faces?
@@michaelb9940 That as well
So am I correct in thinking that the only difference between this and the top end Fenix 7 is the display?
Essentially yes, but this video might help: Why You Shouldn’t Buy The Epix | Garmin Fenix 7 Review kzread.info/dash/bejne/X2mBxbiDqbfeXaQ.html
Strava is calculating the elevation gain itself using the map.
Ah ok, got it. Thanks.
Mine is not syncing
Me either at the moment, I haven’t had time to troubleshoot.
I can't sync my Coros account activity with my Nike Running Club app. Did you manage to resolve this issue?
If you have the money then the x3 plus box it is as on offer on their website now.. but the tiny 2 also amazing as compact even if not as innovative... Acebeam H16 also lovely with magnetic bottom
Both good lights, but for different use cases IMO. I’ll have to take a look at the acebeam 🤔
I just bought the 6s Garmin sapphire refurbished love it! Thx for the great video!
Sweet, you’re welcome.
This was a bit hard to watch
Oh, in what way?
@@chrisguessbecause he really wants it but cant get it thats my brother btw
Or just buy a ps vita with oled for half the price
I have a Vita but the gameboy cartridges don’t fit🤣
He literally covered this in the video and explained why FPGA is a benefit over software emulation on a PSP or Vita.
can this vibrate to warn you when you hit a particular pace etc? or is it just flashing on screen?
I think so
1 Reason to NOT buy: Fookin too expensive for a watch.
If you think this is expensive then I wouldn’t watch my Epix 2 review!
Just picked one up for $249 Canadian to replace my aging forerunner 205. Pleasantly surprised to find the old chest heart monitor is ant+.
Anyone been skiing with the 245? I’m trying to figure out what I should do to track the runs?
Never been skiing, sorry.
I am getting it today 3/18/24 it’s on sale for $599.99
How’s it working out for you?
Glad this sort of worked out for you. It was a bit daft of you to power up while the screen was laying on the pcb. Other’s have shorted out their boards like that. regarding the play at the bottom port, you have the cable of the speaker routed poorly, but most importantly, you completely forgot to screw in the pcb to the shell. Hope that helps.
Yeah I didn’t really think about that to be honest. I just know they always say to test the screen first, but it makes sense not to lay it on the PCB. I didn’t think I had all the right screws in all the right places. I will open it up again and sort it out. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanx, i was looking for the black case with dmg red buttons combo build!
I got you covered
I find the closer I go, the more out of focus it is and therefore making it unusable.
Close focus can be an issue, it’s only a small sensor after all.
have a brand new macbook pro, can't get the camera to even be detected
I haven’t tried on M series chips
Loved the video bro!
Thank you
im a big fan of the tip 2 with the clip, I use it as a headlamp a lot. you can also use the magnets in it to stick it against metal, can be quite handy!
I do wish the tiny 2 had a clip. I did try and add one, but I broke the body and had to switch to the spare.
Thanks, Great Video.
You’re welcome
WHATS UP WITH HIS/HER HAIR?
I have long hair, what’s the problem?
wtf is your issue?
You did a fine job talking about a watch that I ordered a few hours ago.
Thank you, hope you like it.
So what’s your thoughts after doing your own ?? This or the pocket ??
Honestly I still really like the original form factor. There are lots of pros to the pocket but if have a load of cartridges and you want to tinker then I would start with a screen upgrade.
