But for me, if you want me to spend 3k on a smart watch which have no reselling value…I can’t do it 😆

Nobody buys a digital watch with a resale value in mind man....if you can't afford it then there are cheaper alternatives out there.

yup. finally a bigger watch that is suitable for guys. haha. 

I went from Apple Watch to Garmin, now on Garmin Instinct 2. Thé best bang for bucks ever considering I don’t even have to charge the watch for a month, and yes I exercise 6 days a week with that watch.

But the best thing is that it’s so rugged and well constructed that even if I hit the watch while working out, on the gym equipment or even one time I fell down on the road, there wasn’t any scratch let alone scuffs. Extremely stress free experience. Apple Watch wouldn’t have survived that, in fact my previous Apple Watch was blue in colour and the colour already started fading a little even though I washed it every time after I exercised, and that was within 3 months period only.  It didn’t seem to be able to handle chlorines, nor sweat very well. Not sure about this ultra though, but the battery life is always an issue if you are used to Garmin already.

yeh thanks for the feedback, garmin have the more solid battery life due to the MIPS display vs full color on AW

i scratched my AW while indoor bouldering few months back, so much for tougher glass haha. it was super deep as well

im still waiting 23rd Sept since itll be out and people will start reviewing then we can know how it actually performs.

yeah so which in the end it sort of doesnt feel as significant between different models. granted AW GPS mode isnt really great either

unless i picked those battery behemoth from Coros or Garmin Enduro series la, then its even more massive gap
