The forerunner 255 is a great option if you can find one. It’s got everything you need with lots of fitness metrics and multiport options and music. I sadly lost mine but I still think it was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made (great bang for the buck!). The only con for me was the lack of vis

Is it worth buying the Garmin Forerunner 165 now, or is it getting old?

Outdated? No. More like Garmin put HW in but SW is restricted. I had them like a week ago but I returned them. I think the plastic cover over sensors can scratch easily. It got a tiny one after 2 days, and I was careful. Imagine normal use :D They should be great for new runners or occasional use. S

Consiglio acquisto Smartwatch per Ciclismo e Trekking

Ciao! Guarda, se il tuo obiettivo è la navigazione nei boschi e la precisione GPS, l'Amazfit (pur essendo un ottimo smartwatch tuttofare) rischia di deluderti. Sotto la vegetazione il segnale fatica e la navigazione "step-by-step" non è il suo forte. Visto il tuo budget ti direi di provare a guardar

is upgrading from samsung w7 to garmin worth it?

If you want stylish and ecosystem friendly get Apple or Samsung. Garmin is worth buying if running is a priority hobby for you. If you are like me and like numbers, and gamifying ideas to challenge yourself, and want reliable gps numbers you want a Garmin. I have a forerunner 255 music (I don’t use

Kupovina Garmin sata?

Nosim Garmin satove već nekih 5 godina. Vrijede sigurno. Prije 38 mjeseci sam uzeo Fenix 6 Pro za 300€. Dakle, zasad me koštao 8€ mjesečno, što je smiješna cijena za tako kvalitetan i funkcionalan sat. Koristim ga za biciklizam i planinarenje. Radi odlično, baterija kao i prvog dana. Što se tiče FR

Considering leaving Garmin for Amazfit

I have been using the Garmin FR 255 with pleasure and have switched to the Balance 2. The advantage is certainly that it has similar sports tracking metrics but much more efficient management of the Smart functions. However, if you have been using Garmin for a while now and are satisfied with the so

HELP! Treadmill or a watch?

Since you already have a basic watch then a treadmill every time - so long as it is one that you're comfortable running on (my life lobbied hard for a more luxurious wide one and I agree, I feel much better running on it) and one that is rated for actual running - many are really for walking and jog

Mejor reloj para correr y nadar

Yo tengo un Garmin Fenix 8 Solar, pero la verdad es mucho para el primero. Coros también tiene cosas chidas, pero no los conozco tanto. Yo empezaría con un Garmin Forerunner 255, buen precio y te cubre correr, nadar y bici.
