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

First sports watch for indoor cycling and walking
I got myself a Forerunner 265s last week and honestly didn’t enjoy the setup process, the cheap feel, or the overall software experience. I did like the Morning Report, but I’m not sure if that feature stays interesting long-term or becomes obsolete after a while. I then did some more research, (pre

(broken?) ‘back’ button Garmin Forerunner 265
Hey guys, I just picked up a Forerunner 265, and while I’m loving most of it, there’s one issue bugging me, the ‘Back’ button. It only works reliably if I press it hard. Light press? It clicks halfway and nothing happens.
Is this a known issue, or should I return it and swap it for a new one?

Watch for someone who has an apple watch but hated Garmin
Hi all! I've been running for many years and finally deciding to switch the apple watch for a sports watch. I recently tried Garmin (Forerunner 265) and honestly did not like it. The app was awful, the navigation felt clunky and couldn't get over how bad the UI was. I figure maybe the garmin had too
