Does a watch for running really make a difference?

My Garmin 265 really has done me wonders in terms of not having to carry too much on a run. I've always hated taking my phone to time anything and the Garmin has been incredibly useful in terms of accuracy of my runs, HR, etc. Measures my sleep data, body battery, and other useful tidbits. You can g

I've been running 5k on a treadmill consistently over the last couple months at about a 31 minute pace. Finally decided to try running outside for the first time, and only made it a mile before I had to stop and walk.

Garmin Forerunner 55 or 165 will do exactly what you need! Honestly I think the whole subscription thing is being a bit blown out of proportion for those of us who stick to the lower price point watches like myself. I have the 165 and it’s phenomenal. Waterproof and has physical buttons so you don’t

Thinking about switching to Garmin

Is it worth changing to Garmin

I moved to a Forerunner 265. Mainly because the GPS on my Charge 5 was so unreliable - at best it worked 25% of the time. Garmin GPS has been extremely accurate and 100% reliable in one month of post-Christmas use. I bet the Forerunner 55 would be the same.

Is this horrible dreadful feeling of wanting to explode under-stimulation?

I also suffered from anger and under stimulation. I used to be the kind of person who said I wasn't a runner. But then I learned that you can stim while running by timing your feet with "out, out, in" breaths. Now whenever I feel like wanting to explode I know I need to run and I can do it now that

Watch recs

I also have a garmin forerunner 265s- and love it- I upgraded from the forerunner 55. I liked the 55, but upgraded bc I was ready to track more activities and was interested in the other stats- but the forerunner 55- allowed me to track my runs, walks, yoga, and strength-and is a bit more affordable

my first Coros!

Looks fantastic, and coming from Garmin forerunner 55, it s a big gap! I switch from Forerunner 255 to Pace 3. I really prefer the interface and the training load stats in the coros. But some stuff are missing for me like elevation stats, or records tab stats that is not fully used. (No best time/di
