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

FR570 Broken After 1st Charge

Super disappointed. Just bought the Forerunner 570 on Wednesday and of course popped it on the charger when I got home. It only had to charge for 20 min or so to have full battery. It was incredibly difficult to get the connector off. I pulled it straight out and was finally to able get it out with

Good deal for Forerunner 265?

The 570 is barely an upgrade from the 265…but I’d encourage anyone to use the tool on Garmin’s site to compare/contrast before buying.

X1 vs Forerunner 970 Vs Forerunner 570- Which is better for an amateur runner?

If money is no object, just get the 970. It has sapphire glass and a flashlight on top of maps, which the 570 lacks. Reviewers in general seem to think that Garmin priced the 570 too high, and the price difference between the 570 and the 970 is well worth it.

Need help from Forerunner 970 or 570 owners

Hello everyone, my concern might be a bit unorthodox, but I’d be very grateful if someone could help me out.

I’ve had a Forerunner 570 for a week now and I’ve noticed the following issues:

Often, when I wake the watch from sleep mode using a gesture and then immediately press the start button, gho

Polar Black Weeks Sale Has Started

I think Polar is handling this perfectly reasonably. They are passing the entire effect of the tariffs onto the U.S. market, where it belongs. Other companies, by contrast, have chosen to spread the price increases due to tariffs to non-U.S. markets as well, so that they can reduce the impact of tar

Apple Watch Ultra 3 vs Garmin

Only thing stops me from buying garmin is value preposition. Old models from garmin were priced right. The newer models are priced insane when you also take into account the built quality and software experience. For example : a $1900 fenix 8 pro/fenix 8/forerunner 970 and 570 has a good build quali

Grit X 2

If you compare the new 970 with a Fenix 8, what changes ? The casing. Garmin is doing exactly the same way but introduce some software limitations. I prefer Polar approach in order to have longer updates. The 570 is more expensive with lower quality materials and has no mapping.

Venu 4 Sleep Tracking

Can we expect improved sleep tracking from the Venu 4? Or will it be on the same mediocre level as on the Forerunner 570 since hardware is pretty much identical?

What do you think?

I was ready to switch to Pixel Watch 4 from FR 265 just because of Google's better sleep tracking but I cancelled m
