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.

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

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

Are we obsessed with the numbers? How wearable tech affects our mental health. (Survey)

Done this for you just now. I am the odd one out of most of my friends/family/colleagues who wear Garmins, in that I turn loads of stuff off. I don't even have wrist heart rate turned on on my FR955, so no sleep data. It actually makes quite a lot of things bonkers, but worth it for me. I hope it's

Weird treadmill pace on Garmin watch (via QZ/ANT+)

Ok, so I tested both options (getting treadmill data to my Garmin): QZ/ANT+ metrics to Forerunner 955, starting a treadmill workout on the watch. The speed and distance reported are still completely weird, see first post. I also noticed that they are also reported line this in Garmin Connect. Natura

Well, the problem with the form tracking I have is that I follow Garmin Training Plans and I like them a lot and brought me great results when running in asphalt… but now I’m running 100% on trails (have to) and there is were I see the issue. On top of that (that’s why I was referring to hardware is

Best smart watch for recovery?!

I’m all in on Garmin. It’s totally personal choice depending on what platform you are on and happy with, and what your goals are for its use. I went with Forerunner 955 solar over Apple explicitly for Triathlon and biofeedback 2 years ago (and wished I had done it sooner). Different models have diff
