Não faltam opções decentes, mas estes são porreiros para chamadas e a bateria dura imenso). Outras coisa

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

Is Garmin worth it?

I've really liked all of my Garmin watches! Check out anything from the Forerunner line, like the Forerunner 55. And highly recommend getting a refurbished/used one to save money, if that's an issue for you. You can get the 55, 45, or 35 for a pretty good deal refurbished/used.

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

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
