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?

Garmin watch for cycling?

I’ve had my Garmin Forerunner 265 for 3 years and absolutely love it. I used it for cycling before I got my bike computer. I broadcast my heart rate to the computer. I still use the watch for all my runs, swims, and daily wear.

Super happy with the upgrade

I switched from AW this year and my first Garmin is the Forerunner 265, which I love very much.

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

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.

In the meantime when i reached out to support they replaced my forerunner 570 with a brand new watch. I also have an hrm200 and its belt started wrapping vertically (not sure

I love the watch but its too chunky for my liking. Might switch to a forerunner 265.. my concern being is the forerunner might be way too thin for my liking. I’m torn. thoughts?
