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.

Any tips on getting faster as a bigger runner? Current weight: 260. Fastest 2-mile: 17:14

Lots of easy miles like everyone else is saying. If you don't have a watch get one and try to keep your HR low. Do not run based on distance but based on time and HR. Try to stay in the lower zones. I have a Garmin Forerunner 55 and I really like it for the watch. I run 5 days a week for 5 hours tot

Slechte batterijduur van oude tweedehands Garmin

25% batterij per uur is inderdaad ontzettend veel. Zelf heb ik mijn Garmin Forerunner 55 nu iets van twee jaar en de batterij in gps functie werkt in ieder geval (ruim) meer dan 8 uur. Dit was recentelijk. Ook weet ik van vrienden die het horloge jaren hebben gehad dat zij nooit problemen hadden met

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

What’s the most accurate watch for pace and distance? I don’t care about heart rate and other health stuff.

Eh any gps watch is going to be pretty dang accurate. If that’s all you care about pick up a Garmin Forerunner 55

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
