What am I going to miss if I go Garmin from Apple/Samsung watch?

Apple locks down a lot of the “smart” features in particular. I don’t have one of the high end Garmin watches but on my forerunner 255 it’s basically “read” text messages and respond with my phone. I am able to answer and deny calls. In general I would say use garmin if you’re more interested in a f

Ura za tek

Js mam forerunner 255. Odlična zadeva. Edino če bi potreboval podrobno navigacijo in climb pro (avtomatsko izriše vzpone ko ga začneš) funkcijo potem rabiš v viši cenovni rang. Plus če si občutliv na aplikacije je tale od garmina na telefonu zelo u k***u. Ampak na uri pa deluje zelo vredu

Garmin and Whoop Together

I had a whoop to begin with and similar to you wanted to train running more seriously. Bought a garmin forerunner 255 music, it's changed my running massively, being able to follow structured runs on your wrist is great. I currently wear both of them all day when I initially said I'd only wear garmi

Bye bye fitbit

Apple Watch battery doesn’t last long enough for me. I bought the forerunner 255 (250cad instead of 470)

So many new watches. Which watch is best for backpacking?

I'm an ultra runner first and foremost and I'm currently using a Forerunner 255, which is great, but if money was no object I'd get an Enduro.

End of road with Garmin ??

If you enter your serial number on the Garmin customer support page they will give you a quote to fix the battery - worth checking out before buying a new watch (https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=AqZO78GYTb6Kp56mPKMH97) I have the Forerunner 245 (so, the model before the 255) and completely happ

smartwatch for a cyclist who forgets to charge stuff

Garmin Forerunner 165/255. I've got the 255 and when I was using it on my rides (a) the gps was super accurate and (b) I'd reliably get at least three rides worth of use out of a charge. If you can stretch the budget a bit the Edge 540 has mapping and even better battery life and will probably be on

my first Coros!

Looks fantastic, and coming from Garmin forerunner 55, it s a big gap! I switch from Forerunner 255 to Pace 3. I really prefer the interface and the training load stats in the coros. But some stuff are missing for me like elevation stats, or records tab stats that is not fully used. (No best time/di
