In the world of outdoor sports, an accurate compass function is essential for watches. It can guide us in the wild and avoid getting lost.
Today, let's compare the compass functions of two popular outdoor sports watches, NORTH EDGE AP46 and Garmin Fenix 7.
The compass of NORTH EDGE AP46 adopts a high-precision digital design, which can accurately display the magnetic declination and provide stable and accurate direction indication, and has an automatic calibration function. For outdoor enthusiasts, the operation is relatively simple. Users can manually calibrate according to the actual environment to ensure that accurate direction information can be obtained in different magnetic field environments. Press the corresponding button to quickly obtain direction information.
In actual outdoor use, the compass of NORTH EDGE AP46, combined with its barometer, altimeter and other functions, can provide users with more comprehensive environmental data to assist in judging weather changes and terrain trends. Moreover, its operation interface is simple and clear, which is convenient and quick to read direction information, and it is easy to get started even in tense outdoor sports scenes.
The compass of Garmin Fenix7 is powerful and accurate. It uses advanced three-axis electronic compass technology to determine the direction without horizontal shaking. In addition, the compass of the watch can be deeply integrated with the GPS system to mark the route and location on the map in real time, which is very useful for outdoor sports enthusiasts who explore complex terrain. In addition, Fenix 7 also has a variety of navigation modes, such as waypoint navigation, route navigation, etc., and users can switch flexibly according to different needs.
Garmin Fenix 7 is better in integration with GPS and diversity of navigation modes, suitable for outdoor sports enthusiasts who want a comprehensive navigation experience; NORTH EDGE AP46 wins with high-precision magnetic sensors and customizable calibration functions, and is more popular with users who focus on basic function accuracy and personalized settings.
In the field of smart sports watches, the carbon fiber material has become a favorite of many brands due to its high strength and lightweight characteristics. Today, we will compare the carbon fiber watches of the niche dark horse North Edge and the industry giant Garmin to see what unique advantages each of them has.
Material and Craftsmanship: Similar Raw Materials, Different TexturesNorth Edge's carbon fiber watches (such as the ALPS series) mostly use carbon fiber composite materials to make the watch case. Through special processes, carbon fiber is integrated with other materials. While ensuring strength, it achieves extreme lightness - the weight of a single watch is only about 49 grams, and there is no burden for long - term wearing. However, due to the brand positioning and cost constraints, the carbon fiber texture of its watch case is slightly inferior in terms of fineness and gloss, and some users have reported that the edge treatment of the watch case is not round enough.
Garmin's MARQ Carbon Premium series demonstrates the craftsmanship level of a leading brand in the industry. The bezel is stacked with 130 layers of carbon fiber, and the side case is also made of carbon fiber material. The surface texture is delicate and has a sense of hierarchy. Matched with the Grade - 5 titanium alloy back case, the overall texture is high - end. Its carbon fiber material has passed strict impact - resistance and high - temperature - resistance tests, and can still maintain stable performance in extreme environments.
