Waiting for an available date to be announced for the AWU.
I'm upgrading from a Series 3 so I can definitely self justify the purchase. Thinking about not pre-ordering though, kinda want to feel it in my hands before making the purchase.

me too - AW4 here - any news when will this happen for AWU pre order?

me too can't wait, hopefully we will see it in our stores by mid Oct!

which band would u choose? the orange one looks nice ... but so is the velcro and diving type ...

but practicality hmmm ...

The orange fits the watch but I feel may be a little too bright for my day to day. It just screams for attention on my wrist.

I'm thinking of getting the green alpine loop and the trail velcro which is supposed to be super comfortable. For sports, I heard it is backward compatible with earlier straps do I'll use my existing sports band for my series 3.

yes was thinking of the velcro also - just worry the sweat smell in the long run .. i think the alpine loop as well since it could be fabric ... may end up with the diving loop option / ocean band ...

I've been using the velcro sports loop which is fabric for 5 years. But I don't use it for sports due to it being fabric, I go with the sports band as it washes off easily. Velcro for day to day, no issues with sweat smell. Both the trail and alpine I think are fabric which are more comfortable options.

If you have an existing sports band, you can use it with the Ultra as I saw vids of people confirming those were compatible.

definitely going for the white ocean.. clean and nice.. matches the titanium casing too.. xD

really? thts a put off... almost ordering one. now i hv to think twice. how much the app?

wait i almost thought you extended the AW battery to 7 days

i rmb some people were teaching stuff like using theater mode, disable heart monitoring etc but that would defeat the purpose of a smartwatch i feel

hows the support like on Instinct series? im still on fence on it

i feel the ocean fluoroelastomer loop are more fit for all situations

i used the nylon based sports loop and while comfy, its gets dirty easily which you wouldnt want in outdoor?

Any hikers here? Wta what's the best app for AW during hiking?

Haha, for me to upgrade need to have huge cause

The most I got from AW is 2 days but that’s because I didn’t wear it. Otherwise it’s less than 24 hours. Exercising does take up more battery cause the HR and gps and calculation work.

Don’t understand what you meant by support?

Yeah if you need to disable so many craps just to extend the battery, you might as well get a normal watch la.

as in how well the apps function, how often updated with new stuff etc

cause i heard of stories where older garmins are instantly stopped in support after new iteration is out and they dont even let you add in workout profiles

Use Workoutdoors, you can even import trail maps into it.

review's out guys!

yeah about to plan to ordering one also but after seeing this, cancelled LOL
