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

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

Garmin v. Coros
Garmin forerunner 955 solar, it’s probably a little out of your budget, it’s 2 generations old but has an insane battery life. I’ve had mine 2 years and I wear it everyday. I can get over 10hrs of GPS running before I need a charge and with no gps a charge is good for close to 2 weeks.

Should I buy Garmin Fenix 6 pro Solar?
If you really need maps, your options are 955 and 965, as cheaper Forerunner 165 and 2xx options don't have onboard maps at all. I've been using Garmin watches with maps (Fenix 6X Solar, Forerunner 955 Solar and now Forerunner 970) for the past ~6 years in various different scenarios and even with a

Pebble Round 2 comparison
This is a great comparison, especially with the Garmin Forerunner 955 because it is likely using the same screen but without the solar bezel and solar overlay.

Switching to Coros
I can't really answer the question, but I just ordered a Pace Pro after I've had two Forerunner 955 Solars die on me in the past 2.5 years. First time they sent me a replacement for like $100. This time it would've been $200 or so. Not paying $200 for a 4 year old watch that will last me a year. Gar

Garmin → Coros switch worth it?
I recently switched from Garmin to Coros. My Forerunner 955 Solar's barometric sensor / altimeter was doing whatever it wanted. I was out of warranty and Garmin offered me 25% off on MSRP in their webshop. What I wanted was accurate GPS, HR, Altimeter, good battery life, offline music and offline ma

Should I get an Epix Gen 2 ?
So far the only valuable component of Garmin Connect+ is trails. But even that is not required. Everything else is literally bells and whistles that have no connection to the rest of the functionality. For the battery life I would suggest Forerunner 955 Solar over Epix 2 - that AMOLED screen really

Garmin forerunner 955. Not the best battery so u can probably take solar version. But I don’t think it is worth that amount in difference
