Four Garmin smartwatches: Fenix, Instinct, Venu and Forerunner

Hey guys, here is the smartwatch comparison table. With some interesting finds.

My pick currently would be the Fenix 7X – you can find Amazon US and European pricing here.

New for 2024: the Garmin fēnix 8 adds an AMOLED option, a built-in speaker and microphone and dive support – check fēnix 8 prices on Amazon.

For the other Smartwatches on the list check prices on Amazon here.
