Hey, guys, thought I’d hold out till Tactix 8 comes out but couldn’t help myself and got the Fenix 8. I thought it would be a waste and barely any difference but to my pleasant surprise I’m very pleased with the switch. These are my personal observations and some might be psychological with getting a new watch(may be).
- I like the new UI very much, might be just swing something new but it looks and works very good.
- Processing feels faster on the watch compared to the Tactix, all activity post processing is almost instant when Tactix takes noticably longer(saving activity, self evaluation etc.) To add to it, I usually have my activities on medium auto scroll and on Tactix it would rotate with the white screen on the map page-Fenix 8 comes up with the map drawn.
- I like the feel of the buttons, listening to the reviews the difference sounds more dramatic than it actually is.
- Vibrations feel better overall.
- Flashlight is brighter.
- The screen looks crisper for some reason.
- GPS track is miles better.
I’ll add more as they pop in my head, but happy overall with the change.
