Runners should already check Coros instead of Amazfit

The Coros Pace series build quality isn't great. They're all-plastic watches, normal glass screen. The base Pace 4 also has only a 1.2" screen (same as the Garmin 165, which is also a cheap plastic build). The Active 3 seems to be targeted as Amazfit's entry level running watch has better build qual

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

265s, 570 or wait?

Garmin has confirmed that the 570 is the replacement for the 2xx series. There will not be a 270. So why wait? Your choices are 265 or 570. The general consensus is that although the 570 is an improvement over the 265 and adds new features, the price is far too high. A 965 costs about the same and h

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

Stuck between two fitness trackers

I had the pace pro and now 570. I often regret the switch. Yes the Garmin feels more premium and the device has some extra features and stats. The reality is you will never really use them, even if they sound good on paper. The only think I would miss going back to pace pro is the body battery as I

Coros pace 4 or wait for garmin forerunner 170?

Currently using Garmin (FR 570), formerly Coros and Suunto. I would absolutely recommend the Pace 4 unless Garmin simultaneously changes its device segmentation strategy and product direction in the next week (not gonna happen). With the new Alu version of the Pace 4, Coros finally has something tha

Thinking about switching to Garmin

I have used apple watch during my “early” days. I also bought a fr165 music edition which I used for a year. Then I upgraded to fr965 because I am doing tri. Now from my experience, the AW can do what the fr165 can. The fr965 is def an overk!ll if I don’t do multisports. If you’re looking for a chea

Leaving Garmin?

It was a few things. The main one was battery life. I run outside in cold winters and hot summers. With the cold, my watch battery would go down 20-40% during a run. Sometimes the battery would go back up after warming up. I did some trouble shooting with garmin but nothing really fixed it. Sometime

Looking for an upgrade

Sorry to hear you didn’t like your Polar M3. In my case the V3 is the best Polar watch I have had in over 25 years of Polar watches. I really like the AMOLED screen, and the battery life is quite acceptable. It gives me the metrics I want with no silly fluff. And I have no real issues with either ve
