Se andas de avião: Phones com noise cancelling Se não andas de avião: Phones com noise cancelling (Arranjei há uns anos uns da anker, os SC Liberty 4NC foram dos 50 paus mais bem gastos que tive. Não faltam opções decentes, mas estes são porreiros para chamadas e a bateria dura imenso). Outras coisa

Suunto Race 2 is what finally allows me to move away from Garmin

DCrainmaker gave the previous race s a great review. he even praised the heart rate sensor! i bought mine off the back of that (and other fittech 'influencers') and was totally shocked by how much of a downgrade it was from my garmin FR55 (yes, really). not in the screen and GPS and that kind of stu

Fenix 8 Pro is useless...

I mean, Garmin Fenix are specialist watches geared towards specific purposes. If you are just a casual active person, they are way cheaper options from Samsung or Apple, but also from Garmin, (forerunner 55 for example). If you are a bit more serious, you can buy a mid range device. The Fenix line i

Best watch?

A Garmin Forerunner 55 is a decent cheap smart watch costing around $150 US. No watch is really going to handle skydrol so you have to rinse it off with IPA if it gets contaminated. By smart I mean that is is good enough to stay connected via bluetooth without any hassle and show you texts/incoming

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

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

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

koji pametan sat uzeti?

Za trening i fitnes su ti ubedljivo najbolji Garmin satovi... Ali za 100e jedino da ganjaš neki polovan Forerunner 55.

Garmin Decision Paralysis

How about a suggestion slightly at a tangent? Forerunner 55 - the cheapest, most basic running watch Garmin do. I have it and love it. It records all my runs with full GPS and heart rate data, controls the music coming from my phone, integrates with Strava, has basic smart watch usefulness and the b
