Thinking about switching to Garmin

Nag switch ako from apple watch SE to garmin forerunner 55. The only reason is battery life. Daily ka magcharge kay apple watch pero garmin can last up a week.

Which watch are you using for running?

Garmin forerunner 55. It’s basic, functional, and the battery lasts a long time. It gives me just what I need - time, pace, distance, lap function, etc. I am not interested in endless data and analytics. I don’t want a sleep score, stress score, etc. things like that would probably do more harm than

What watches do Singaporean men/women wear for their daily driver?

Can't recommend the forerunner 55 now. I've had it for 3 years and the battery deteriorated faster than I thought. It has also started to randomly shut down DURING the workout which mega sucks. Get something with a better battery life. Coros seems to be doing some good stuff. The higher end Garmins

What’s in my bag- protest edition

I am brown and need a way to let my emergency contacts know if I’m detained when I’m living my life every day. I want to be able to yell at Siri to enact emergency plan. For protests I might leave it and only do Apple tag so contacts know where I’m detained. If you're going to be an active participa

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

How are fitbits now?

My Fitbit Versa 3 finally kicked the bucket after about 3-4 years a couple weeks ago. I've had a Fitbit for almost 10 years and had no complaints. I debated getting another Fitbit or even a Google watch since I love my Pixel phone, but I had heard similar things about Fitbit quality going downhill.

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

Montre de running

Garmin Forerunner 55. It’s super affordable, the battery lasts forever, I too was a little worried about obsessing over stats but I’ve found it 99% helpful. At it’s worst it just tells you you’re tired when you already know that you’re tired lol
