Switching from Apple Watch to Garmin — is it really worth it?
Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about this for months and wanted to hear some real opinions from people who’ve actually made the jump from an Apple Watch to a Garmin (especially the Forerunner or Fenix series).
I currently use an Apple Watch Series 10, and honestly, I’m really happy with it. The G

[Apple] Introducing Apple Watch Ultra 3
As a Garmin user, to be honest I'm really sad about direction that Garmin is taking. Prices went up, at least here in PL, Fenix 8 Pro Amoled costs 1.5x of Apple Watch Ultra 3, while to use Satellite connection you need to have 9eur/month subscription (when apple provides it for 2 years for free).

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

What are the things that you bought that made the biggest difference and what are the things that you regret buying? On the other hand - what are the things/routines/advices that you started doing/following and made a big difference and what turned out to be overhyped to you?
Best gear - my Garmin Forerunner 965, it’s got a couple of things I could complain about, but overall it’s an incredible tool and I love using it every day. Close second would be my Naked running belt - great for carrying phone, keys, fuel, and (in the summer) a small water flask. Regret - Hoka Clif

No rucking for Fenix 7 pro
https://www.reddit.com/r/Garmin/s/NNYCBRWfdh After the launch of the Fenix 8, the Fenix 7 (and 7 Pro) practically stopped receiving new features. The same thing is happening now with the Forerunner 955 and 965 after Garmin released the Forerunner 970.

Watch OS 26
Fyi if you check r/garmin & r/garminwatches, battery life is better for sure but they tend to drop support on their watches quickly. Eg. Epix 2 Pro / Fenix 7 didn’t get the new UI, isn’t getting new features, Forerunner 965 isn’t getting a lot of new features after the release of the 970, and they’r

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

Considering switching over from Garmin
I briefly swapped from a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro to a Coros Pace Pro. However, I've returned the Coros as it just didn't meet my training needs. My frustrations with it were: Customisation of data screens is limited. For example, if you are running intervals, there is no option to include a "time remaini

Garmin vs Fitbit
I have used both. Sense 2 and forerunner 965. Along with Apple Watches over the years.
