Apple Watch definitely has its strengths — super accurate heart rate, seamless iPhone pairing, and all those nice health insights like sleep tracking.
But honestly, I was struggling with its GPS accuracy, especially when running around tall buildings or under trees. The pace readings would sometime

After months of comparison fatigue, it's finally mine! Seriously, I watched every comparison video out there (looking at you, 970, 965, and 955) and spent way too much time scrolling through positive reviews here on Reddit. The Prime Day deal was the perfect excuse to finally pull the trigger on the

Just picked up the Forerunner 570 after weeks of research and YouTube videos. Excited to try it out and say goodbye to my Apple Watch Ultra.

I was complaining Garmin was holding back features until everyone bought Fenix 8 no matter what the focus is. As a very happy AW8 owner who is training for a half marathon, i started with Venu3s -> gave it back bought Forerunner 570 -> and gave it back to finally buy Fenix8. It is 47mm - i thought i

I picked up the Forerunner 570 a few weeks ago and really liked it. However after doing a little more research, I found myself wanting the Fenix 8. Traded in the 570 and paid the difference.

Finally made the switch from Apple Watch to the Forerunner 570. I know the 265 is a better deal atm but I wanted the newest sensor and the 970 is too big on my tiny wrist. Happy with the watch already! Can’t wait for all the data and new insights ☺️

Like the caption, I finally did it. Recently bought the Forerunner 570, but I've had the AW Series 9 for almost a year. For some reason it's satisfying to see my fitness rings fill up, but you can only do that to an extent with the FR. I just started getting into running as well and had some money s

I have been an Apple Watch wearer and lastly had the Ultra 2. I don't know why but apple seems quite far behind compared to other options out there. At least for my needs and interests. Plus the interface is so oooooolllllddd... So I switched to the 42 inch Forerunner 570. I wish Garmin offered this

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

I never planned to buy a Garmin watch, but I got incredibly lucky winning a Forerunner 570 through Lingo staking. At first I was just excited about the battery, 11 days in smartwatch mode and 14 hours with All + Multi-Band GPS is wild, but now I’m wondering how to make the most of it.
Right now I’
