La mejor compra del 2025

Me siento contento con esta compra, inicialmente había pensado en un Forerunner 165, Pero ya puesto en mi muñeca lo ví demasiado pequeño frágil, no cumplió mis expectativas, el i3 solar si cumplió.

Coros Pace 4 x Garmin FR 165

Honestly, garmin’s bottom tier watches at over priced for what you get in comparison to Coros.. I had a pace 3 and pace pro, great watches and do basically the core everything you for running and basic strength training.. however I got a Garmin enduro 3 and now that I’m using Garmin it does have a b

Laufuhr mit gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gesucht

Ich hatte einige Garmin Modelle (auch teurere wie ne Fenix) und ne zeitlang auch eine Apple Watch, aber Coros bietet für mich das mit Abstand beste Erlebnis. Meine Pace 4 für unter 300€ ist besser als jede Smartwatch/Sportuhr, die ich je besessen habe. Die passt also perfekt in dein Budget und ist m

First time AMOLED user

I bought a Forerunner 165 to try out the AMOLED display. Being an Instinct user and tried a few Fenix along the way.

What a disappointment when I decided to up to the Epix Pro 42mm with sapphire (no regular gorilla glass available at the time in this case size)

I knew the glass could make a differ

What Black Friday Garmin would beat Pace 4 / Apex 4

I'm very hesitant to get a Garmin because of their app, and the fact that they seem to be moving towards price-locking so many of their features. That said, from a pure watch comparison standpoint - if I could get the Forerunner 265 for $250-$300, I might choose that over the Pace 4. I would definit

Laufuhr mit gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gesucht

Suunto Run, Forerunner 165 music, Bin selber Team Suunto weil ich diese Abo Modelle in den Apps wie bei Garmin nicht mag. Gehen aber auch klassische SmartWatches wie Venu 4, Apple Watch, Pixel Watch 3 oder 4, Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 oder 8

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

Budget sports watch with GPS recos please

Suggestion ko siguro for better performance overall, mag shell out ka nalang ng extra for a Garmin Forerunner 55 (8k) or Forerunner 165 (10k). Hindi nga lang OLED display yung FR55 but it does the job. Actually sa price ng Forerunner 165 may mga more capable watches na rin from other brands like Cor

Is my heart rate too high

I am 27 male. I started running back in April and have always had a high heart rate, even during easy runs it is in the 160s. Yesterday I did a 5k and my HR hit a high of 193 climbing up from an average of 183 by the end of kilometre 1. Using the 220-27=193 I was at my max heart rate. Surely this is

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
