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

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

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

Should I buy the Garmin Venu 3 or wait for the Venu 4 to potentially come out, even though there's no official confirmation from Garmin?

With Garmin watches, it is not that updates have new features or a new version of look and feel. (Only Fenix and sometimes high-end 9xx Forerunners sometimes get feature updates). One exception was the Forerunner 255 getting a slew of activities to match the 265 (which came very soon after the relea

Garmin forerunner 255 or Amazfit trex 3?

Garmin. Theyre not even in the same league for running watches. The FR255 is a top tier sports watch with one of the best GPS modules on the market (same module as their £700-1000 Fenix watches). The only thing you're potentially missing out on is maps (you need a 955 or Fenix/Epix for that). The 25

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

Watch Review - Suunto Run after month

Sorry na mess up yung formatting from the post but here: Hello, I recently lost my Garmin 255 and while looking for a replacement, I got curious about the Suunto Run. I’ve been using it for a month now and thought I’d share since I don’t see this a lot here. Mostly Garmin, Coros, or Apple Watch ang

Can I get your opinions on running watches?

I have a garmin forerunner 255 and I love it. It has all the features you want, except the music (but they have a music version as well). You can create (and search for already created) routes in garmin connect (the app and website) and sync those with the watch and then use the route to go for a ru

Official Q&A for Wednesday, November 19, 2025

I think I'd focus on two things: Multi-band GPS: My Forerunner 255 has this and I've found it to be extremely accurate. Do have to make sure your settings are set to use it. Data Recording Setting: Also in settings, data recording should be on every second and not the other option which just looks f
