Thanks as always for watching and for the continued support!

MIP for me. I don't need another LED device staring at my face. Loved the MIP

[bashaenraets]

MIP forever! I switched from an Epix to a Fenix, just to have a better always on-experience. I love MIP. 😊

I’ve been using the Garmin Tactix 7 Pro for 1 year now and love it.

Been wearing the fenix 6 pro solar for the past three years and considering when to pull the trigger on an updated version. I agree with the MIP opinion for a sport watch and this is why I won't go for the Epix.

[geoffrobinson]

After watching many Epix vs Fenix review comparisons, most of which came out in favour of the Epix because of the AMOLED screen, I went my own with the MIP and Fenix 7 Pro, for many of the reasons you outlined. Glad to see this perspective/opinion getting out there. Let's hope Garmin don't drop the option. I also went with the bare titanium finish. Looks nicer in my opinion and won't get the scratches from the DLC coating in the same way I hope.

Got my Fenix 7 Pro Solar in December as a from me, to me Christmas prezzy... Love it!

I bought the 7 pro solar sapphire because of this video. Love me the MIP.

I am also a big always on without emitting light fan, i.e. transflective LCD. Im using the instinct 2x and it can really charge on solar. The perfect watch for me and i love it. Will sell my amoled galaxy watch which never served my use cases well. I dont need a second mini phone on my wrist, I want a MIP display. May be switch one day to fenix but i like that the instint is so light, great for wearign 24x7

[tomaspuskas]

they really improved display from 7 to 7 pro. If there will be same progression in 8, I am all in to stay with MIP.

[RobertBruno]

Love my Fenix 7 sapphire solar. I’ve had it since it came out and I have no scratches on the bezel (or the glass).

Went from an awu to fenix. While i liked it and the MIP display, it was tough on overcast days and i felt like i was using the backlight a lot, so traded in on an epix.

[MateHegyhati]

I had different versions of Instincts for the last 4-5 years. When you first start to use it, it is shocking, how much contrast there is on that black&white MIP display. I would be really curious, if Garmin could do a watch with MIP display, that has less colors than the Fenix/FR watches, but preserves most of the "contrastiness" of the Instinct watches. Solar probably doesn't help that, and also, F7 has I think 64 colors, so there isn't much room to reduce. Still, it would be nice to see, if they could make it, but probably there aren't many people who would appreciate this direction of development 😀

Love the vid! We need more Bullitt content!

[astasuleo]

MIP is the future. Not only provides a better looking natural paper color backround, and not a fake white digital backround, in addition it give the user the always natural ON display and extended battery. For me OLED is amazing, but not for a sport watch.

[paulirish]

I love this video and perspective. I have owned the Apple Watch Ultra as well as the Epix Pro. However there is something that made me go to the Fenix 7 Pro (I previously owned the Fenix 7). Although the AMOLED display is “prettier, ” I love the look and “feeling” the MIP display provides. I look at too many screens throughout the day, so having my watch (as a sports watch) feels easier on the eyes and looks fantastic outdoors. I appreciate AMOLED is nicer and newer but there is just something that draws me back to the MIP display.

[JasonRaneses]

My main gripe with this Fenix model is mapping. Sapphire is already decently reflective, but with the added solar panel it is even more so.

That makes trail detail hard to read on the regular without contorting your wrist to the right angle. As opposed to a MIP without solar, or something like the Epix.

[Tha-King-Arthur]

I have my Garmin polished every 6 months. As long as there are no deep scratches you will be fine. I now have the Fenix ​​8 Amoled screen and during the day the screen shows 100% brightness from dim mode, but in the evening when it is dark outside and the screen comes out of dim mode the screen remains very dark. According to developers at Garmin, there will be an update for this, but this is not what I expected from an Amoled screen and a watch costing €1200.

[LauraŚp-fq]

When is the Fenix 8 coming? Any rumors?

[brogolli]

Thinking about getting the Fenix soon. Do the 7S, 7, and the 7X have different battery lives?

[TacticalStrudel]

I have a fenix 6 that I’ve had a long time and like. Looking at the fenix 7 to replace but … can’t help thinking, the 7 has been out for awhile when will a fenix 8 be coming? I’d hate to buy a 7 and have an 8 come out 6 mos later.
