David Isasi reveals he sold his beloved Apple Watch Ultra 2 to force himself to test the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro.
The episode opens with David Isasi promoting PrestoCat, a new app for one-minute audio episodes developed by Joan Boluda. He then transitions to discussing his recent purchase of the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro LTE, which he bought from Joyería Carla after seeing an Instagram reel from José of Pretrialdón. David explains he sold his Apple Watch Ultra 2 to commit fully to testing the Garmin, a move he describes as radical due to his preference for Apple's ecosystem. He details the Fenix 8 Pro's price of 1,299 euros for the jewelry edition and criticizes its LTE service as useless. David shares his initial impressions, noting improved configurability compared to older Garmin models and a week-long battery life. He recounts a recent 5K time trial in Valencia, where he aimed for a sub-4:40 pace but averaged 4:33 per kilometer, finishing in 22:45 with a 181 bpm heart rate. This run was done with his Apple Watch and a Polar Verity Sense bracelet as a farewell before switching to the Garmin. David admits to having FOMO (fear of missing out) that drives his frequent gear changes, comparing it to past habits with cars and relationships. He jokes about his atheism and alcohol consumption during Holy Week, contrasting with the adventurous spirit the Garmin inspires. The episode ends with him teasing a future review after more testing and reflecting on how the watch makes him want to try new sports like surfing and mountain biking.
