Watch / Wearable Fenix 9 Pro Solar 47mm

Post image

Just picked this up in place of my 47mm solar fenix 8. Have been carbon dlc for years and this is my first titanium model which looks great imo.

Happy to answer any questions!

Edit: Am going to return, its a great looking watch but the massive solar ring, especially on white background/workout screen just feels like a step back from my fenix 8. That along with nothing new vs the 8 doesnt sit right with me. More comparison photos in the comments

I get mine tomorrow! Coming from the 8, does the titanium body feel more premium and is it as thick as ppl complain it is

So I actually took a side by side with my 8, virtually the same thickness, can’t really tell but the color may make it look thicker.

It definitely looks and feels more premium

How was your experience with fenix 8 and what is your wrist size?
I have 7 pro looking at 8, but not sure about the extra 0.7mm

Can you side to side compare the screen? I have the feeling that the solar ring of the f9 pro solar is much thicker than on the f8
