As with many of their other “pro” devices, it feels very geared towards the low end “pro-sumer” that isn’t necessarily gonna use all the extra oomph. So it’s great for the general person who wants the extra features, but falls flat for all the actual pros.

I was considering making a joke but decided against it. Thank you, kind redditor, for succeeding where I have failed.

Yes this is like a Land Rover Discovery, not a G-Wagon.

Pros are not using G-Wagons.

Is it better for the general person? I feel like its a good watch for divers (maybe), but other than the larger screen and extra battery life, is there much more it can do vs the S8? Assuming the “general person” isn't doing any extreme sports/multi-day back country expeditions.

That’s true. I commented before I was fully privy to what all it was capable of. But I didn’t mean everyone. Just general people who WANT the extra features. Basically meaning it’s really nice to have but probably not gonna make or break it.

To be honest, I just want it because I miss my big, hulking G-Shock.
