Disappointed in Venu 4 look and feel

I think you have a case of Garmin giant watch syndrome. That watch is the perfect size for your wrist. Change that ugly silicon band and you will have a great looking watch. The Venu 4 is the best looking watch next to the Marq now. It is the only one that doesn't look cheap with that plastic body s

Is the Forerunner 570 the worst choice in Garmin’s current lineup?

Hello everyone, when the FR570 was released a few months ago together with the FR970, there was already plenty of criticism. While the FR970 became noticeably more expensive compared to the FR960, it was largely praised for its immense range of features and positioned itself as a cheaper Fenix 8 wit

Anyone get the 965 because the 970 colors are ugly.

Did Garmin hired a new designer? The 965 looks much better, without the neon stripe, and with the writings on the bezel. The 570 is even uglier with the neon bezels. Yes, these are running watches, but designed to be worn 24/7. I waited for the announcment and in the end opted for the 965.

Is the Forerunner 570 the worst choice in Garmin’s current lineup?

Having upgraded to FR 570 from Venu 2 just a month ago (paying $200 more in my country) I’m heavily disappointed, and upset. Even after lot of research, I went ahead and got 570 despite the criticisms. I did the detailed comparison and I think what ever additional features 570 has, are insignificant

Are there any female users with 970?

I was checking today both 970 and 570 at Garmin showcase - dismissed 970 immediately. I'm wearing 255s and 570 is the same, 970 is waaaaaaaay to big

Vivoactive 6 or Forerunner 570 - Which should I go for?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to decide between the Vivoactive 6 and the Forerunner 570 as my first Garmin and could really use some input. I was using an Apple Watch so far and I just can’t stand the battery life anymore.

I’m training for my first 10k, so not a pro runner by any means, and go to the gy

Garmin 570 42mm vs 265s, small wrist female

I bought the 570 42mm when it first came out. Then in December I got the Coros Pace 4. Best decision I've made. Nicer, lighter, better gps, better battery, more intuitive, better application less than half the price. As it stands I will not go back to Garmin.

For Brazilians - DO NOT buy a Coros watch

Was creating mockups of ForeRunner 970 in different colors, would you buy this version if Garmin offered it?

Garmin and their tacky colour schemes. Clearly they choose the gaudiest colour pairings for brand recognition. Anyone who wears them just screams "Look at me I wear a Garmin". Both FR970 and 570 have got to be the ugliest colour combinations yet from Garmin, maybe only next to some of the Instinct c

Amazfit vs Garmin - GoPro Games

Went to the GoPro games in Vail, CO, USA today. There was a Garmin booth. I talked to the person in the booth for quite a bit.

At the end, I mentioned that I was looking for newer model watches that have GPS, HRM to go with my Garmin Edge 840 cycling computer, swimming and can reply to txt messa
