GPS Watch7 One Ui8 Update

I was out for a walk yesterday and tested the Watch 7 One Ui8 Update Gps.

Compared with Garmin Forerunner 165

I got 5.3 km on the Garmin. Lines very accurate on the roads.

On the Samsung i got 5.7km with very inconsistent lines and zigzag pattern.

400m difference on this short walk is very bad.

Ben ik weer..... Ik ben aan het kijken voor een sporthorloge voor het hardlopen en wielrennen, maar vooral focus op hardlopen. Heb nu de samsung galaxy watch, maar deze is niet helemaal gericht op het sporten.

Nu ben ik opzoek naar een goed en betaalbaar sporthorloge, maar wordt beetje overspoeld d

Empfehlungen für Laufuhr gesucht

Hab selbst die Garmin Forerunner 165 seit ca 4 Monaten. Kann alles was du suchst, glaub preislich ists nochmal günstiger geworden. Von Navigieren über Aktivitäten aufzeichnen, Strecken planen, etc alles top, ist relativ schlicht, die Bänder selbst sind ja austauschbar.

Garmin airport staff said 40% of their sales are the Forerunner 165. Why is it so dominant?

Honestly, it’s the sweet spot. The Forerunner 165 gives you like 80–90% of what most runners actually use (GPS, HR, training metrics, AMOLED screen) without the price jump of the Forerunner 265 or Forerunner 965. Most people don’t need maps, triathlon modes, or super advanced analytics, they just wa

Smart watch recommendations?

Garmin forerunner 165 frequently goes on sale just under 10K sa shopee. Pero its the non-music version. Also its a gps/fitness watch first, smart watch second, so texting will be very annoying to do. Battery life easily lasts over 1 week depending on usage of course. GPS can be setup to be accurate
