Buying call

Buy the fenix 9 Pro if you want Garmin's best adventure watch with offline maps, a flashlight and LTE and satellite messaging: it launched at $1,099 for 43mm and 47mm. Reviewers praised its slimmer all-titanium build, 3,000-nit AMOLED, 64GB of storage and long battery even with the always-on display. Skip it if you don't need the extras, since the health sensors weren't upgraded and early firmware had bugs. GPS workouts drain the battery faster in the top accuracy modes, and LTE and satellite messaging need a subscription after the trial.
