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

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.

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

Bye Garmin

I was using a Garmin Forerunner 255 for the past two years until I switched to the Ultra 3 last week, and although the Garmin was great for running it is soooo nice to have such a stellar smartwatch that happens to also be a good running watch!

Pace 3. I love this thing! It's so light!

Weight is such an underrated feature. I started off with Pace 2, then thought maybe I should go with Garmin FR (more popular and mature product) I put on both Pace 3 and FR255s (the lighter version of FR255) and the difference in weight is heavily felt. I returned the FR255s the day after

Wie Geld sparen bei Laufuhr?

Was heißt sparen? Willst Du ne Luxusuhr günstiger oder eine möglichst günstige Uhr? Persönlich bin ich Fan der Forerunner 255 - ist von den Features her top, kostet aber recht wenig. Gibt es auch für etwas mehr Geld mit Musik-Feature.

Recommendations for a solid running smartwatch.

I'm massively happy with my Garmin Forerunner 255. Great battery life, swanky GPS, lots of data. They've been out a few years now so there are some real bargains to be had. I like the MIP display but some people prefer the OLED displays on the newer models so probably worth looking into which you'd
