Daughter’s alarm constantly going off at 5am
Get her a watch with a wicked vibrating alarm. My Garmin Forerunner 265 wakes me up 100% of the time and my sleep schedule is all wacky due to loads of work travel.

Apple Watch vs Garmin
I switched 2 years ago and am so glad I did. I have a forerunner 265. I do OTF, walks, and half marathons. It’s so much better for a fitness focused device. The battery life is also amazinnnnng!

best smartwatch for running, what are marathon runners using these days?
I have a Garmin Forerunner 265. I've used it for training/running multiple marathons. It does everything I need. I explored other higher end options before landing on this and it do the job fine.

My Apple Watch caught my A-fib RVR. It probably saved my life.
I'm constantly toying between my AW and a Garmin (I have a Forerunner 265s) and always end up going back to my AW for the ECG feature, and just when I decided yesterday to wear my Garmin full time, I see this post so I'm switching again lol I had to wear a heart monitor for a week in January and it

Return Garmin 550 for Coros?
Ive been using a 530 for 4 years now. I currently ride around 14,000km a year combined with zwift. My 530 is always there, never fails and just works. Battery after 4 years still lasts for a 12h ride with varia, power meter, and hr monitor connected. Usually there's enough battery for another ride o

Super happy with the upgrade
I switched from AW this year and my first Garmin is the Forerunner 265, which I love very much.
Decided to switch to the Fenix 8 and I’m loving the bigger screen, the extra functions and the overall aesthetics of the watch.
My wrist is small, but the Fenix 8 47mm AMOLED sits on it well.

And with that I’m off to Garmin
Today was the 1,000th day of hitting my 10,000-step-per-day goal, and with that, I’m off to Garmin. I like Fitbit, and I’ve had quite a few going back as far as 2015. When Fitbit was bought by Google, things declined, and small things kind of annoyed me. For this past Christmas, I got a Garmin Forer

Apple Watch vs Garmin
I also have a Forerunner 265 and it’s great in OTF. Just one thing to keep in mind - all the videos about how Apple skews positive and a Garmin tells you regularly how shit you are is pretty real 😅 I joke that the ghost of my Nonna is in my watch, being like “I guess that workout was fine or whateve

Dear Coros, you have lost your way…
On the flipside, I personally regret going with garmin. I have a fr265 and and HRM600. And turns out that there is a ton of data that comes from the HRM600 that I can't access. Not because it doesn't collect it, but because the software doesn't calculate it. If I want speed step loss, running econom
