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.

Upgraded from my Apple Watch to a garmin.. How do I stay dry?
Hey guys, I just upgraded to the Forerunner 265. Everything was all good out the box, but after about 40 minutes of ownership, I’ve noticed women keep squirting around me when they see it on my wrist. Any ideas on how to prevent this? I really don’t want to run any faster (already at a 13min/mi pace

What’s the most accurate watch for pace and distance? I don’t care about heart rate and other health stuff.
Oh you will care. Very quickly. Same thing happened to me. You’ll become obsessed. Garmin 255, 265 forerunner is a great start.

Zit je vast aan Garmin? Je krijgt voor dit geld ook heel erg veel Coros. En anders gewoon de ForeRunner 265. Kan je eigenlijk nooit in de mist mee gaan.

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

Ik zou je richten op de forerunner lijn. Heel veel mensen lopen met de 255. Een prima horloge met alles wat je nodig hebt. Prijs zit rond de 250 euro. Deze beschikt over een MIP-scherm. Mocht je amoled mooier vinden, dus wat meer “levendigheid” in de kleuren en weergave van je scherm, kies dan voor

Welche Garmin könnte für mich passen?
Ich hab die Garmin Forerunner 265 und die kann alles, was du verlangst und noch mehr. Dabei kompakt, leicht und unauffällig. Hab die jetzt 2 Jahre und bin immer noch zufrieden wie an Tag 1. Nutze sie als Wecker, als Timer, zum Wandern (Brotkrumen-Navigation), zum Skifahren usw. Kannst damit theoreti
