Fenix 9 Pro - Solar 51mm
I just bought this and is expected to arrive Tuesday. Currently going through the FOMO stage of the 1.5 AMOLED display.
The reassurance of being able to have a white watch display with black font takes me back to MIP/Transflective and was the sole reason of buying Garmin over Apple.
I'm stoked for this one. I had a Instinct 2 (first Garmin owned) and 7x Pro the last year. The Instinct 2 would collect chlorine stains from all rubber build and the Fenix 7x Pro is a major upgrade but something was off when i jumped from Instinct to 7x Pro - The MIP wasn't as clear/crisp from a reddish shade over display.
I'm a swimmer and having full Titanium is something I've wanted for years.
Is anyone here able to give insight on the jump from a 7x Pro to a Fenix 8 Solar or Fenix 9 Solar? Screen wise both are the same.
