This chapter focuses on Garmin's latest Phoenix smartwatch models, discussing their technical specifications, aesthetic appeal, and premium pricing. The conversation covers features like fitness tracking, built-in communication tools, and the practicality of solar-powered watches for outdoor activities. Additionally, the hosts delve into the dynamics of small-town postal services supporting outdoor enthusiasts and the rise of social media in hiking culture.
While Marques is on the other side of the world competing in the World Ultimate Championships, Andrew and David talk about the latest iPhone rumors and discuss what they're expecting from the September iPhone event. Or at least, that's how this episode starts before we surprise Andrew by bringing back David Pierce for an update on how Andrew's productivity app journey has been going! After that, it's gadget time and we talk about the new Garmin Fenix 8 and a pair of truly open-back headphones before we wrap it all up with trivia. Enjoy!
