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

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

Long Term Battery Life?

I will get downvoted because this is a Coros sub but I'd go for a FR255 or 955 if you want long battery/MIP screen, otherwise a FR265 or something. All your data from the 245 will be stored in your Garmin account so it will be a much smoother transition sticking with Garmin. If you have a problem wi

People who want to go back to Pebble, what does it do that other smartwatches don't?

I'm a former Pebble Time user who now has a Garmin Forerunner 255s Music, so I think I can try to help here. You're right in thinking that many of the advantages of Pebbles have been addressed by Garmin watches. Namely, the MIPS display with great outdoor visibility, the great battery life with alwa

Rant about Garmin

I have actually had the opposite experience.When I input that I was pregnant, my Garmin suggested to pause fitness status and to set a weight gain goal. Maybe you have an older version? (I have Forerunner 255) It should be possible to tinker with your settings, anyway! I have also played with the Ga

Official Q&A for Saturday, November 29, 2025

Garmin Forerunner series. The 200 line will do just about anything he will ever need- the 255 (past season model) is really solid, the 265 has some upgrades but nothing I would find meaningful for a high schooler. If these are above your price point, check out eBay for a refurbished model. That will

Smart / fitness watch recommendations?

I have a garmin forerunner 255, it was hard to learn how to use but it seems accurate and I only have to charge it for 1 hr once every week and a half. It is ugly though

Can 3rd-party apps realistically bridge the HRV gap?

As I sleep with an Apple Watch 11 and Forerunner 255 I can confirm that the HRV trends between both devices are pretty equal. While there is a little difference of about 5ms between each device, that gap is consistent on high/low days. Personally I think that using Bevel is good enough. I do use the

Coros pace 3 or garmin 255 ?

I personally went with pace 3. My thoughts were: I don't need smart watch features, I don't need paying with watch and I liked simpler more clean look of the pace 3. I think the design principle of pace 3 and FR255 are almost opposite to each other. Pace 3 easy user interface. And with garmin more o
