From Apple Watch to Garmin Forerunner 165

I don't think you lose anything on the Running or Runna app side (if you carry your phone, you can be listening to music even if you don't have the Forerunner 165 music version). What you will lose is on the smartwatch side. For me, losing the Apple Pay system was a big NO (The list of Garmin Pay co

Garmin users - do the Runna audio prompts work for you?

If yes, what watch do you have? Trying to figure out what watch I need to have the audio prompts work as expected. My old watch use to integrate with the Runna app seamlessly but ever since I switched to the Forerunner 165 the Runna cues no longer work :(.

I'm specifically looking for the Runna pro

Convince me not to return my Pace 3 for a Forerunner 165

Forerunner user for two decades. Made the leap to Coros a few weeks ago. Here are my gripes with the Pace 3:

  1. The charger is terrible. I have to fool with it forever each time to get the connection right.

  2. You cannot have autolap on without an alert. I want to autolap every mile, but I also don't wa

Garmin customer service is second to none — read below! Also, I’m not going to use this authentic Garmin watch band (brand new) — willing to sell it for half price!

I'm gonna assume you're being snarky, but I'm going to go ahead and appreciate your acknowledgement to me being right anyway. Lol And your second comment is not appearing here, but I saw it in my inbox. I have the Fenix 7x Pro SS. The same watch you do 😂 I did start with the Forerunner 165 though bu

Forerunner 165

Good morning community, I just purchased a 165 music, but it happens to me that when I go in the car or on public transportation it starts to count as if I were climbing many floors and taking steps, do you know if there is a way to deactivate the counting so that it does not affect the floors and s

Need help deciding between Coros Pace 4 and Garmin Fr 165

Between those 2 (and for your specific use case), Coros, no hesitation. There is NO triathlon / multisport activity on the 165! The Pace 4 has it. That would seem like a big deal for you. As you carry a phone while running anyway, you have no need for music on the watch (which is Garmin's main stren

Poor VO2 max for a veteran body builder

Hi guys. I finally took the plunge into the world of endurance since I felt i should look beyond aesthetics (I have a decent muscled body) and focus on heart health. I am 43 years old and have been weight training since 26. I used to do indoor cardio consistently 12-13 years back and since then focu

Garmin forerunner 165 vs Coros Pace 4

I have both Garmin FR165 & Coros Pace 4 ginagamit ko yung dalawa for my daily. Garmin for work and Coros for my running and other exercise. Plus 1 sa coros pace 4 since may feature siya ng Triathlon and battery life is way beyond garmin 165.

Why use The Kilo App?

Hi I just got a new Garmin and was looking for something exactly like this, so when I tried to use the kilo app one of the main issue I'm facing is: There is no clear indication of which workout is being selected ( like in the watch after I send the routine). For example even though in my routine I
