I've purchased a Venu 3 but awaiting a lengthy delivery time for it. I chose it over the Vivoactive 5 due to its further features.
A day later a deal came up for an Epix gen 2 standard edition for near the same price as I paid for the Venu 3 (Venu 3 £349, Epix gen 2 - £375). Now I'm a little unsure which to keep.
If I keep the Epix gen 2:
- I'll lose the Elevate 5 HR sensor (A big issue?)
- Will I lose picture view in text messages that the Venu 3 has or has a software update added this to the Epix?
- Lose the slimmer/smaller design of the watch.
- Better battery life.
- Greater depth of metrics
If I keep the Venu 3:
- Keep the picture text message alerts.
- Ability to answer calls on the watch. (not too worried about this)
- More compact watch
Any other major differences I would be giving up? Worth asking on the Epix gen 2 forum?
