What cool shit have you bought lately?

I think a nice part of being in our 30s is we can afford to buy cool fun things. What have you bought lately?

I got a Garmin Forerunner 965 which is super tight, motivates me to limit my drinking and I’ve been killing cardio because of it

Also fun - bought a LAB putter which is a ton of fun

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

Which model is better? Suunto Race 2 or Forerunner 970? Functions and design

It really comes down to what you want out of the watch. Garmin is very data-driven, especially something like the Forerunner 965. You get a ton of metrics, guidance, and features that try to tell you how to train and optimize performance. Suunto, on the other hand, is much more of a pure sports and

What’s your “It is nice but it can wait” item on your cart or planned purchase?

Mine is a Garmin Forerunner 965. I have a 6-year old 935 that’s working perfectly but I have been eyeing to get a new one for better health and performance tracking. It’s nice but I might just wait for the 975. What’s yours and when do you plan to buy it?

What is your advice for first timers?

I’m 41M and placed second recently for my second half marathon. Here is my advice: Get the right shoes for your foot. The wrong pair can really hurt. Have a daily runner for comfort and a light weight shoe for speed or days you want to push a bit faster. Clean up your diet and avoid greasy foods and

Ik wil mijn eerste Garmin gaan kopen.

Mocht je een net wat uitgebreidere Garmin willen en toevallig ook over een ING account beschikken, dan heb je momenteel de Garmin Forerunner 965 in de rentepuntenshop voor €434. Zit je wel net boven budget, maar dan heb je wel een enorm toekomstbestendige watch die alle functies (en meer) heeft die

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

Ditching my Galaxy Watch 7 for a Garmin Forerunner 965

Although I love my Galaxy Watch 7 as a SmartWatch (really great SmartWatch!), I'm ditching it for a Garmin Forerunner 965 for all the running and sports-related features (and battery!). I really hope Samsung improves both, particularly GPS accuracy and pace-related running features (creating a pace

Garmin airport staff said 40% of their sales are the Forerunner 165. Why is it so dominant?

Honestly, it’s the sweet spot. The Forerunner 165 gives you like 80–90% of what most runners actually use (GPS, HR, training metrics, AMOLED screen) without the price jump of the Forerunner 265 or Forerunner 965. Most people don’t need maps, triathlon modes, or super advanced analytics, they just wa
