Great price. 51mm also available for $999. Very little difference to the newly released Fenix 8 retailing at $1800
Also discounted at other places such as Garmin, Rebel and JB Hifi ($899) and Kogan ($859). Cheapest looks to be $829 on Johnny Appleseeds eBay (12 available)
CamelCamelCamel.
thanks. bought this instead of fenix 8 pro which is way overvalued.
Great price! I bought the non pro epix about 6 months ago for this price, awesome watch!
I got the non-pro Epix Gen 2 last Boxing Day and has been fantastic. Would love to upgrade but definitely cannot justify lol.
Currently have this got it for $600 after trs and giftcards i think. amazing driver for fitness
i just lost my fenix 6s was looking at 47mm and saw 8 was out then saw price so waiting for deal.
how does this compare to 7 pro which i was now looking at waiting for BF for
Better screen but means battery doesn't last quite as long. Will still last a week with the screen always on though.
a week is fine. i was used to a good 21+ days with 6s. i just dont want to be charging every day like you need to do with things like apple watch. thats nuts
Pretty awesome price. Bought one, thanks for the post.
Any guesses when Fenix 8 goes on sale?
They are likely 30% off after 8 months and 50% off after a year.
Not any time soon, it only came out a month or so ago.
Boom, I've been waiting for this one.
finally!….got the 51mm
Thinking of this or the Fenix 7 pro, any recommendations on which is better?
Fenix 7 doesn't have AMOLED display.
Epix for me given the much better screen. Battery takes a hit but still get a week set to always on
I got a F7 Pro SS for $890 recently and no regrets at all. Huge upgrade over the 745 I had before.
Not a fan of the bright-screen-on-my-wrist look. Especially it randomly glowing during work meetings, etc. Hence wanted MIP over LED.
Personally I look at my watch for 3 reasons:
Telling the time or looking at some stat (No benefit to it being AMOLED- the bright screen would make it harder to do this subtly)
During workouts (always outside where MIP shines anyway)
Pre or post workout (little benefit in AMOLED here but admittedly only use case where it could be nice.).
Also maps are WAY slower on AMOLED due to higher pixel density. When I am out and trying to use them, speed matters.
I see the F7 as a fitness watch and the E3 as a smart watch.
Hmm this is a good deal. Got a 265 at the moment and love it but would like the better materials and improved heart rate sensor plus flashlight. However the 47mm seems to be quite a bit chunkier than my FR265.
I feel you, small wrists here too. I wish there was the sale for the 42mm version
My wrists are just over 17cm. Was worried about chunkiness but took about an hour to get used to it and would hate smaller now. 42mm takes a big battery hit
Anyone got some tips on where to buy from for cashback or frequent flyer points. Seems like everywhere has the same price
rebel. 2% cash back and $50 worth of rebel point
you can stack with the 15 % off TCN gift card with Coles this week.
sorry could you explain?
I want to do this. Is it true you can only use up to 3 gift cards per transaction at rebel? Has anyone tried recently?
Yeah was just looking at rebel. I guess you sign up for rebel points
should we wait for more black sales? i'm running a 6X pro really love to try the AMOLED screen.
Did Garmin do the ECG update for the Aussie model?
Why don't they ever discount the smaller face models?
jumping on this too - any way to get the discount for the smaller models? I'm jump on it immediately if available in 42mm.
Which category of cashback does this fall under ?
Ah you beat me to it! Picked up one myself.
AMOLED screen and Sapphire. Pro version has a torch and a better heartrate sensor and titanium surround.
