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

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.

Beware of Whoop (and their subreddit)

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

Pace Pro or Pace 4.

My vote says buy based on size. If you don’t need the maps, it becomes not relevant. Literally size is going to be noticeable, unused maps won’t be. Garmin is good. But I’d only recommend getting there high tiered watches because they are over priced for what you get compared to coros. Once you hit

Thinking of switching from Apple Watch Series 10 to a Garmin 265S (or Coros) — worth it for running + recovery data?

I currently have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and felt the same fomo a couple months back. I got a Garmin forerunner 265 and tried it for a few weeks and then ended up returning it. I wore them both side by side and the metrics like pace, distance, heart rate were almost exactly the same. I also found the
