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.

Ik wil mijn eerste Garmin gaan kopen.

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.

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

Watch recommendations

The first question should be: do you want a sports watch that just tracks your activities, or do you want a smartwatch for calls/notifications etc that also tracks your activities? What battery life do you need? Apple Watches for example need to be charged every day. Most Garmin/Coros/Suunto sport w

Struggling to pick a fitness watch – gone full circle (Apple vs COROS vs others)

I was about to pull the trigger on a coros pace 4 but it doesent has vo2 Max if I’m a cyclist. You just get half of the data if you aren’t a runner. Or maybe less than half. I have a Apple Watch and I don’t have ftp and a reliable vo2 max because you just get it walking or running, the only watch I

Looking for a GPS watch upgrade — Apple Watch isn’t cutting it

I’d agree with everyone else on Garmin and specifically the Forerunner 265S. The the battery life on Garmin watches are top tier and I think the FR series watches are quite decent overall plus it has an AMOLED display OR the COROS Pace 3 (or the newer Pace 4 depending on your budget) which arguable

Amazfit Active 2: Top button stopped working after a year

Gps is accurate. The pace is close to what a Garmin records (my cousin has Garmin FR265). The only thing I wish it can do is to 'transfer' the workout on strava to my watch (only compatible with Garmin watches)

Ik wil mijn eerste Garmin gaan kopen.

Een aantal commenters hebben al de Forerunner 265 benoemd, en ik heb 'm zelf ook. Heeft bijna alle functionaliteiten die ik als gevorderde loper nodig heb, dus voor een beginner is deze meer dan adequaat. Hij zit wel aan de bovenkant van je budget, dus ik zou ook kijken naar de Forerunner 165. Mijn

Which Forerunner should I upgrade to?

I got a 265s last year and love it. The smaller size works well on a small to average size wrist. I run with my phone so don’t even use some of the features like music etc. Can’t speak to the 570 but I upgraded from a Fitbit Versa so was super pleased with the Garmin experience.
