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

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

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

Watch recommendations
The first question should be: do you want a sports watch that just tracks your activities, or do you want a smartwatch for calls/notifications etc that also tracks your activities? What battery life do you need? Apple Watches for example need to be charged every day. Most Garmin/Coros/Suunto sport w

GPS Tracking in Open Water
I have a garmin forerunner 965. It has an open water swim option. Tracks just about every metric you need. Just make sure to let the gps sync before you start snd you wont have any issues.

Tried apple watch and whoop for a month
I tried wearing an apple series 11 and a Garmin forerunner 965 together for a few days and these are my takeaways from it; Battery life: this doesn’t really warrant a comment here. I have to charge the AW daily and the 965 is 23 days Heart rate tracking: Almost identical. I checked during sleep duri

Shifted from an Apple Watch to a FR 965. Any apps I should know about ?
Owning a FR965 since a year. Like you, even I came back from Apple Watch. Unlike Apple , Garmin is a self sufficient, sport watch rather a smart watch. So, if you are planning for some apps, you’ll fall with a great thud. All you need to worry is about good watch faces, probably. So, my suggestion,

HELP! Treadmill or a watch?

Garmin Swim
I have a Forerunner 965. The swim workout has an “Auto Lap” feature. It automatically detects rest periods when you stop and separates them from your swim stats. That’s what I do and it’s the default setting. It will recognize each swim interval and provide data on each. You can also turn Auto Lap o

Saved 500€ with the GT 6 Pro… but now I understand where it went
If you care about exercise and do sports, Garmin is the way to go. You can get Venu 3 or Vivoactive 5/6 or Forerunner 255/965 for not too much money. Or maybe the Instinct 3. For Huawei, it looks nice, and it's enough, but for nothing serious. I was a user of Huawei Watch GT3 and I was happy, until
