I finally chose my Fenix 8 47mm Solar. It took me months of decision (yes, months, taking it for my 30th birthday), and I'm writing this to help anyone who might have had the same doubts I did. ​I've been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm (I hate the Apple ecosystem) for four years, and to be honest, it served me well. However, the battery life was always a struggle, especially with the AOD (Always-On Display) mode enabled. Over time, I started using more and more sports and outdoor features, eventually pushing the watch beyond its capabilities, which is why I decided to move to Garmin. ​Since I wanted to wear it every day, I immediately ruled out the 51mm version feeling it too bulky and clumsy on me (I tried the Descent Mk2 and the Fenix 7X in that size from friends). Given I was used to the Samsung’s size, I settled on the 47mm model. ​The real challenge was choosing between AMOLED and MIP. ​Initially, I was leaning towards AMOLED since I was used to it with the Samsung. But lately, my old watch has started showing noticeable screen burn-in from using the AOD—something that is inevitable for all AMOLEDs, no matter how good they are. I can accept that on a €200 watch, but on a €1000 one? Many people say, "Just use the gesture, it works fine," but I've always hated it. I feel silly having to rotate my wrist just to turn on a watch that I should be able to look at while doing something else with my hands without having to stop. This is why I considered the MIP, in addition to its phenomenal battery life. I thought about the lower resolution, the less vibrant colors, the reduced color options, and the less spectacular animations... and I struggled to decide. ​Then, I read a comment here on Reddit that said something like, "Why the hell do you need 10,000 colors? To check the time? It's a watch." ​I truly thank that person because as soon as my Fenix arrived, I fell in love with the MIP display. ​It doesn't render well in photos at all. In any lighting condition where you'd be doing anything else, the texts are perfectly visible, and when that's not enough, the backlight is always there. I have to point out that in the videos I watched, the watch with backlight looked much more "blue," with very dull colors, but in person, it is much better, and the colors are great. They aren't as contrasting as an AMOLED, of course, but in my opinion, this makes the watch look more mature and elegant. It makes AMOLED look like a toy. This looks like what it is, a tool. ​The resolution is indeed lower; you can sometimes see the pixelated angles on certain graphics, but i don't really care. You have to really look for it and focus on that rather than the information, which is perfectly readable anyway. Hope someone finds my opinion useful, and hope garmin doesn't stop making MIPs!
