Why I Chose Garmin Fenix 7X Pro in June 2026 (Not Fenix 8)

Why did I switch back to the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro in June 2026? In this video, I unbox the Garmin Fenix 7X Pro and explain why I chose it over newer Garmin watches such as the Forerunner 970 and Fenix 8. While AMOLED displays look impressive indoors and HDR videos can be stunning, I found that the high brightness often hurts my eyes, especially during long-term use. That’s one of the reasons I still prefer Garmin’s MIP (Memory-In-Pixel) display technology. I also share my thoughts on Garmin’s voice assistant. Although it’s a nice feature on paper, the response latency and sound quality are not good enough for my daily use. ✔ Comfortable MIP display ✔ Excellent battery life ✔ Reliable sleep tracking ✔ Accurate health and fitness data ✔ No battery anxiety like I often experience with the Apple Watch Ultra series Thanks for watching.
