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

Started at Uiam Park where Gongji Stream meets the lake, circled south along the eastern shore for 13k, then returned. The eastern shore is my favorite - wooden decks carved int

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

I've been having similar problems with my Forerunner 955 (not Solar) with the 23.20 upgrade. Have only just started looking for solutions and came across this thread. My watch had been prompting me to update software several times a day for a couple of weeks. I nearly always said yes, but it still n

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

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

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
