Welche Garmin könnte für mich passen?
Es ist halt die Frage, was hier mit ordentlicher Akkulaufzeit gemeint ist. Die Forerunner 265 wird mit Multiband Tracking auf 14 Stunden Akkulaufzeit offiziell angegeben. Das wird für ne Mehrtagestour eng.

watchOS 27 to Offer New Watch Faces, Including 'Modular Ultra' Variant
Garmin watch faces are ridiculously bad, third party ones also tank battery so they’re non-starters imo. Their basic digital face still has a scaling error (40% smaller than the smaller screen FR265 gen) on the FR570/970 generation, even reported it to a buddy who works there, they’re aware of it an

Fitness Enthusiasts, what’s keeping you on the Apple Watch
I also use a lot of GPS data weekly maybe even a bit more than you, I used Garmin for many years over several watches. There are only a few in the catalogue that actually have really good batteries. Let's be honest none of them get what the specs say. I never got more than 4-5 days out of my last wa

Garmin or Coros?
boy does the software and UI suck ass. There's basically zero development going on over there. Same experience. Started with a Garmin Forerunner 55 and continued with a Forerunner 265. The software (app) has become worse over time, and Garmin is completely unresponsive to customer feedback. Even log

Forerunner 265, 170, 570
No problem! I have a wrist tattoo. I would have issues with the gen4 sensor on the 265s where I would miss sleep or HR data intermittently. The gen5 sensor, in the month or so that I’ve had the 570, has not missed data once. I wanted to get into triathlons, and the 570 has a triathlon coach in addit

First impression after the run
Just watched the review from MKBHD and it seems that data between Fitbit Air and Whoop are comparable.. I have Garmin FR 265 and i am buying Air, so I will be able to compare those two. But Google is going to be better over time, that is the fact and Garmin… well you get what you get, hardly any upd

PT2 long-term pedometer test
The point of the test was to compare the PT2's estimate to a more reliable estimate. Although GPS on Garmin isn't 100%, it does have multi-band GNSS so is about as good as it gets for smartwatches. I've never gotten nearly that good of battery on my Forerunner 265. I get maybe 9 days at the most, wi

Garmin forerunner 265 battery life
I recently received my Garmin forerunnerr 265 (this Wednesday) and I'm not satisfied with its battery so far. I have used it for two workouts (three hours combined), and wore it regularly besides. I first charged it to 100% when I received it. I have tried turning the watch to "gps only" (turning of

Garmin Forerunner 570 vs Coros Apex 4
I've just bought the apex 4 having gone from the 265. Ive been getting more and more annoyed with Garmin. They used to be great but every update now seems to change the metrics and then they put stuff behind a paywall. The Apex 4 has everything and more that my FR has to offer. The battery life can

Beware of Whoop (and their subreddit)
I have a Garmin 265s. The ui/ux sucks...bad. Also After 5 months my pam sensor stop functioning. I had to battle for weeks to get a new watch. They have a bad customer care. Also I dont have any sleep data because I have wrist tattoos. Sometimes if I stay still while sleeping I can get some. I also
