Are we crazy upgrading Series 5 to Series 6?

I only use OfferUp and only local in cash. Sure it may take a little longer and I get lowball offers 90% of the time. But I won’t touch eBay especially when people want to pay with PayPal. PayPal will reverse transactions pretty simply. I’ve sold my Mac and numerous iPhones in person.

Yeah, I don’t trust Paypal anymore. They’ve changed a lot of policies over the years. I remember when you could easily just call to talk to a representative about a dispute, now you they don’t even allow that, you basically have to do everything via email/messages.

For me personally the OX has no value. Had it with a Garmin Venu and a S6 and the results were not spectacular in any way. For most people that is useless. I also found out the Always-On feature is of no use for me. Neither the 5 nor the 6 one. Same with ECG. Normally you do it once or twice and nothing else. The only thing I´m really missing on S4 + S5 is the altimeter on the training face. A complication for any regular WF would be great but Apple made that really strange fmpov. You see those arrows and the number is just too small, or size is ok but the complication below is wasted for the arrows.

In the end for most people S5 or SE should be good enough. So for me. I had to use them to find that out. Now I´m going back from S6 to S5 to save money. And I´m totally fine with it.

No, it is not necessarily crazy to upgrade from S5 to S6. S6 is better. But most people should be satisfied completely with S5.

Agree. I just sold a Garmin 6X Sapphire. That watch had the Pulse Ox feature, which I used exactly twice before turning it off. Unless you have lung issues, knowing your pulse-ox 24/7 is simply not useful. If you go to the reddit Garmin forums, you'll see most people turn the feature off in favor of longer battery life. My Garmin had a 21 day battery life without the feature and less than 14 days with. It just added zero value to my life.

EKG is similar. My wife's series 4 has it. She used it exactly twice to show it off and has never used it. Unless you've got heart issues, it simply ain't useful.

I ordered an SE to replace my Garmin, and I think the only thing I'm missing that I'd use is the AOD.
