What's the most durable fitness tracker to buy in 2025?
I have a Garmin that’s 3.5 years old still going strong, battery lasts multiple days. It was like $180 a “low end” watch from Garmin. I’d recommend buying something like the forerunner 165.

Three weeks into my Garmin adventure, I would like to share my first review here for the community where I found quite some inspiration in recent days.

FR165 de chez Garmin si t’as un petit budget, elle est petite, bonne autonomie, pour le running c’est très bien.

Coros pace 4 or Garmin 165
Coros pace 4 has longer battery life. i personally have and use garmin fr165, it lasts me about 3-4 days of active usage. coros pace 4 is more bang for ur buck
