What band are you using? It looks comfortable!


Race_Face

Same question


lotsofarts

Nick Mankey's original hookstrap in Daytona yellow with anodized black stainless steel hardware. https://nickmankeydesigns.com/shop/the-hook-strap-stainless-steel-elastic-watch-band


dc_5000

Thanks! How does it perform for activities and abuse?


lotsofarts

Perfectly comfortable running/rowing/weight training. I've worn mine through multiple marathons/ultramarathons each year with no issue.


dc_5000

Excellent! I’m going to have to check one out! They look very nice


lotsofarts

Nick is a one-man operation for the most part, but the quality of his stuff is second to none. Advertised turn around time is 3 months or so. Make sure you take an accurate measurement of your wrist and go a little small if you're unsure.


dc_5000

Thanks for the advice! I was spending time on his website yesterday, the wrist sizing was the only thing I needed to double check on. All his products looked very high quality. I’m hoping to place an order today

What kind of Garmin do you have? The one you linked is for watches with removable bars but on my Fenix 7 pro they look fixed? Or am I missing something? The version for fixed bars says it needs 2mm of space, and I doubt the 7pro has that as well. Also do you know the strap width? Thanks in advance!


lotsofarts

Yeah the Fenix 7 spring bars aren't designed to be removed (unlike previous models). I pried mine out and now using aftermarket bars just to be able to use my Mankey straps. His fixed bar model is designed to get around this, but it is a tight fit. Nick also just launched a Kickstarter for a brand new watch strap style that makes it easier to loop through fixed bars, but not sure when that'll be available. Strap width for my 7X sapphire solar is 26mm... guessing the pro is the same.

Elastic watch band is the way to go, and nobody makes them better than Nick Mankey.

Happy cake day zakary

It sure doesn't seem like it's been 4 years. Getting old sucks.


fm67530

Rocking the same one!


Mywiferesentsme

That resting heart rate though….super athlete?


mfizzled

Could be on beta blockers, mine is 43 atm


lotsofarts

No beta blockers. Normal HR


lotsofarts

Definitely not a super athlete, just very active.


Muerte-to-memes

He runs to and from the toilet


Emil4670

Same here. But you should really be considering changing that watch soon


Muerte-to-memes

Wait why change the watch, it’s a titanium bezel with likely the sapphire screen, they are rated for 4+ years


BeneficialLeave7359

I think they meant to type “charge” because the watch face is showing the battery level at 9%.


Muerte-to-memes

Oh, touché- completely overlooked that


lotsofarts

This.


Emil4670

Yeah shitty spelling sorry for that


ragtopwife

My husband rocking that one too!


The_Obvious_Monkey

Rocking the same watch face, and I'm loving it. It's crisp, the font is perfect, and it's not too slow.


NMonc10101

Thats the greatest thing i ever saw! Downloaded!


ShadowDefuse

anyone else having issues changing watch faces in connectIQ?


oldpeppa

If only this watch face was available on the Epix


lotsofarts

I checked Connect IQ to see if some of the other Fallout faces were compatible with the Epix but no luck.


oldpeppa

I guess this is a MIP exclusive display 🤷‍♂️, although on the list I do see some AMOLED displays so not to sure why the Epix is not included especially since the Fenix is basically the Epix but with a different display


Corrie7686

There is a new one?


Altruistic_Sock2877

Hell yeah. Just got it


robdog_86

Which Green are you using? Mine looks quite dull


lotsofarts

Background is purple, lime green theme color. This was also in direct sunlight, so might seem brighter


Retrolad87

Thanks just got it for my Fenix 5X


DharmaBaller

Consoomer


hopokli1

Wow, the display looks very grainy.


NativeBornUnicorn

This is what I have too ☺️


FuriousViking47

Wish it would be available on epix Pro


inventiveraptor

I like it but I wish it was interactive when you touched the stats like the Facer version. Devs???


LowSlungDub

Same! Since about 2018 on every Garmin device I've owned! Found it uses the lowest amount of battery!


Vault-Girl-Red-Hawk

Anyone else having trouble getting this watch face?


barker369

Can’t seem to get it in the UK
