Suunto Race S Long Term Review

I came from a Polar Pace Pro to Suunto in August last year. Polar forum was very pissed when I wrote a goodbye review about the old watch mentioning how the features offered didn't match the price for an otherwise decent watch...they actually were pretty hostile about it. Whatever. My experience wit

Pomoć oko odabira Garmin sata i tenisica za trčanje

Slažem se s ranijim komentarom da ti ne treba nijedan sad da počneš. Pouch za mobitel je 6-7 eura Max i dobar je početak, pogotovo ako planiraš i uz sat nositi telefon na trčanje. Ako si baš odlučna oko sata i oko toga da bude Garmin, apsolutno ti ne treba ništa više od FR165. Ja bih ti samo preporu

Cheetah 2 Ultra already in US web store

I think no one understands it. Now we have the cheetah pro with a small screen but almost the same dimensions as the ultra. They could have made them two different sizes like one in 44 other in 48 mm. I bet those custom cnc milled titanium pieces are expensive to manufacture, hence the price and pro

Whoop vs. Forerunner 170

I went from Whoop to Garmin FR 170 also. I can understand your frustration. I switched because I was not convinced whoop is worth the steep cost for what I wanted out of a device. I swim, run, lift, and a few other activities. IMO, the FR 170 is far more useful for training. Yes, whoop UX is more po

Laufuhr

Als Multisportuhr habe ich die Garmin Vivoactive 5 Music. Glaube mittlerweile gibt es ein 6er Modell, das leicht verbessert wurde. Das wäre eine Option für dich. Wenn du primär läufst, wäre aktuell die Forerunner 170 Music sehr gut geeignet. Es ist ein Einsteigermodell laut Garmin, aber es hat dick

What's a purchase under $500 that genuinely improved your daily life?

I got a Garmin Forerunner 170 last month and now I’m addicted to running and staring at my stats after. The personalized training plans have me excited to wake up and do my run. It really gameified my workout routine.

Smart watch calories

I just use Garmin! I have a forerunner 170 now. Used to have a forerunner 255. My 255 was on par with my calculated TDEE so I’m not sure if this one underestimates or my previous one overestimated. I think it’s either over/under estimating my calories burned during workouts.
