  • I tell myself I do the upgrades for the camera improvements since I take a lot of pictures of my daughter.

    For 6 to 7 the biggest reason was the awful modem and I had trouble with phone calls. I was dating at the time and it was awful to have women tell me they couldn’t hear me over the phone. The phone also overheated a lot.

    If I were you I’d go with the 7. The modem wasn’t perfect but it was a lot better.

    For 7 to 8 it was the improved wide angle camera.

    For 8 to 9 it’s the improved selfie camera, improved camera zoom performance, battery life, and because it was so cheap.









  • I have a Garmin venu 3, it’s positioned as the most smart watch / lifestyle focused of the Garmin lineup. I like it for measuring sleep, body battery, steps, playing golf, and reading notifications without pulling out my phone. The gentle reminders to get steps in for the day, weekly active minutes, and sleep quality have genuinely improved my health.

    That said it annoys me that they offer no OS or feature upgrades throughout the life of the watch. They do some bug fixes but that’s it.
