I left Garmin!
I’m now part of Team Coros watches as well. I got myself the Coros Pace Pro. Previously, I had the Garmin Fenix 7X, Forerunner 965, Fenix 8 AMOLED, and Enduro 3. I find Garmin completely overloaded; most of the data they analyze is not really useful, like “Stamina,” just to name one example. Additio

Does swimming really burn this many calories?!
I picked up swimming several months ago. Just last week, I finally upgraded from my super old garmin forerunner 235 to a new forerunner 965. I was able to track a swim at the pool for the first time with the new watch and was stunned at how many calories that the garmin app and strata said I burned.

Would Strava be able to track my distance ran at 5-a-side football?
yes it would track it, the accuracy probably wouldn't be very good though. even with my garmin forerunner 965 it's a bit iffy

Will the Epix & Fenix 7 be left behind?
I’ve had a bunch of Garmin watches, mainly the Fenix line. Over the years older versions continued to get software features & updates well into the future. With the Fenix 8 and the change in coding with the new software, and with older watches (forerunner 955/965 getting features while the Epix Pro

Amazfit vs Garmin
As a owner of several Garmin watches over years, currently have a Forerunner 965 I strongly disagree regarding the daily suggested workouts, they are mostly a joke. Garmin software is also so so, and the connect app is a mess. Garmin sleep tracking another weakness. So instead go for a Forerunner 96

Just got this Insta ad
I've had mine since August. All the sports activities I recorded up 12 October (4-5 per week) have disappeared. The ring no longer records sports activities now, it just returns blank data and then doesn't even save that. Steps are off. Compared to my Garmin FR965 HR average s mostly seemed to be in

End of an era - Moving on
Did you change some settings in Garmin? I’m a very long time Fitbit user but moved to Garmin forerunner 965 for a year now, for more serious exercise info. But for me Garmin sleep tracking sucks bad.

Decision: Apex 4 vs Nomad vs Pace Pro vs Garmin FR 965 coming from Apple Series 4
The 965 takes the cake here in terms of raw specs but imo a lot of the garmin metrics are fluff. The paid ecosystem is also capitalist BS to me

Amazfit T-Rex Pro 3 Review: An Underrated Champion
I did not say Amazfit is similar to Garmin. If you used Garmin Fenix or Forerunner 965 you would now how far Amazfit is from those watches. Nevertheless, Amazfit tried to offer alternative, but failed at several key aspects: very short product support (even shorter than Garmin's) navigation problems
