Q1 Update
Just committed to the Vertical 2 from Garmin FR955. Things I’d like - Resume later feature, but I understand this is unlikely; Integration with a better weather service like Windy (including UV index and a precipitation radar visible in activity mode); Widget for Intervals.icu; distinction between v

Hardloophorloge
Ik heb de forerunner 955 solar en train nu via garmin coach dat werkt goed. Koop de horloge via marktplaats en het is niet eens te duur. Solar is handig voor je blootstelling aan de zon te tracken, niet voor de extra batterijduur.

Investing in quality running gear - what's actually worth it?
I got my Nathan running vest in 2019 and have probably clocked around ~4000 miles in it and I love it. They don’t make that size anymore so not sure where I would turn, I’m petite too (5’2” and basically no boobs lol) but I would still think Nathan is the love for vest. Quality has been great. Got m

Shoutout to Suunto Run’s HR sensor!
Same. I was worried moving from Garmin having read many reported issues but can confirm that the Vertical 2 is matching my former Garmin (FR955) OHR performance.

Zonesense vs Garmin
My old FR955 GPS accuracy was pretty poor and given I’m mostly training for elevation gain, I was sick of variation between efforts. Looking at replacement Garmin options - they didn’t appeal to me from an aesthetic (not my style) and feature standpoint (excessive, mostly turned off for how I use a

Enduro 3 or Vertical 2
Having switched from Garmin FR955, I’m so happy with my Vertical 2. Simple, better layouts, bigger and brighter screen (never thought I’d move away from MIP) and a smaller case. I’m drawing about 10.5% battery per day with about 14-18 hours of activities recorded each week, mostly with GPS on. Regul

GPS interference due to heavy tree cover
Any watch with all-system multiband would be better than your Venu 2s. My garmin FR955 with that is substantially better than my FR245, but I do still have some issues with instant pace not feeling right in heavy cover scenarios. Note that how bad trees are varies a bit - high humidity and rain also

Adventure Trail Mapping - Suunto vs Garmin vs Coros
Effectively I think you are possibly looking at two different functions: the navigation / map details on the watch itself - for when you track etc (have you also maybe considered a handheld which may be easier to use for this type functionality). the app/web eco system and what that offers - with th

H10 Polar exhausting
My H10 refuses to update software. After about 10 tries, and 3-4 hours of trying I gave up. It takes forever for it to update, and disconnects/fails just out of the blue. When I finally managed it to get 100% it kept going until 124% and still kept updating??? lol. And then it disconnected... I now
