GregP Oct 2019 9:21pm, 1 Oct 2019 115,293 posts	0 GregP You’ve probably got the same email somewhere in your junk folder, GR. I assume it’s basically a Fēnix with a yuppie surcharge?
GlennR Oct 2019 9:48pm, 1 Oct 2019 45,319 posts	0 GlennR I haven’t received that. If Garmin think I’m not gullible enough they’re completely wrong.

Badger Oct 2019 9:54pm, 1 Oct 2019 11,402 posts	0 Badger At £1700 that takes some amount of gullibility. And yeah, they’re basically Fenix 6 with extra fancy cases and straps and a few extra bits of software.

Dvorak Oct 2019 11:05pm, 1 Oct 2019 18,024 posts	0 Dvorak It's a watch for the modern tool, aimed at gullible wankmuffins? Nailed on, and refreshingly honest. Bravo!
GregP Oct 2019 6:21am, 2 Oct 2019 115,299 posts	0 GregP Apologies to Glenn for a rant he’s heard in various media and experienced live many times but... you cannot by any reasonable definition describe something that needs plugging into an electric socket as a tool watch. And at that price you can’t call it a beater I have two tool watches (at least one of which is also a perfect beater) - a W300G and an SKX007. Neither of them needs so much as a battery. Closest Garmin have come to a beater (which isn’t quite a tool watch, see above) is the old Fēnix 3.
