Switch from Garmin to GW8 Classic?

[Joshua Luther1]

I'm currently using a Garmin forerunner 255 and the only thing I like about it is the battery life. I also like not having a touch screen. While I do like the mip screen especially in daylight, I also like to have a screen that has vibrant colors on it. I previously had the 6 classic a couple of years ago. I'm just unsure if I'll like the new squircle design of the 8 classic.

I'm not a hardcore fan of Garmin either and I'm not someone who takes full advantage of all the workout features on them. But it's nice not to have to worry about battery life on a watch.

What makes it enticing is the $150 trade in credit for my Garmin when getting the 8 classic from Samsung. That's about how much I spent on my Garmin. Maybe a little bit more.

I just switched to Garmin last year and it seems like I keep wanting to switch watches all the time. In the past 2 years I've had the Galaxy watch 6 classic, apple watch 7, Garmin forerunner 165, and forerunner 255.

Maybe I'll look into the Pixel watch. I don't know.
