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

First Ultra in the bag 🚴‍♂️💨

Came to Poland's second biggest forest to attempt my first ever Ultra called Wanoga, which stands for 'Adventure' or 'Journey' in local Polish dialect.

I decided to go with 'middle' category of ~356km (~221 miles). There was also 600km 'big' event and 150km race.

The goal was simple: complete the

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

Is the T-Rex 3 Pro that bad?

I bought TR3pro after 4 Garmins, the last being FR965. There's no prefect sportswatch, but TR3pro is certainly nowhere near what Wired says. Sleep tracking is incredible, at least for me. It is 100% spot on, coming from Garmin was a blast. GPS is absolutely reliable and the rest of the metrics seem

To Garmin or not?

The main things I was looking for in a watch for long distance running: GPS enabled: tick for Garmin. smartphone app and linking to other apps (Strava): tick. ability to store music/podcasts: tick. battery life: tick. So fulfilled what I was after. Forerunner 965 btw.

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

Google still needs to improve PW GPS

Had issues with GPS on the Pixel Watch 2 and now seeing the same results with Pixel Watch 3. This result is from an outside run, with clear skies, and no objects to block the signal from satellites to my watch. My Garmin Forerunner 965 and Apple Watch consistently provide accurate readings, but my P

Garmin for MTB (Everyone's got a different opinion)

I have been tracking with a Fitbit for two years. It's fine. It's a bit below fine. I am ready to upgrade to a Garmin, but of all the different Reddit threads on the topic, everyone is dogmatic about different models. Also, every time I search, I find a new model that I didn't even know existed. So,

Just climbed Kili - wanted to share info - Distances/Ascents

I summitted on July 7th on the Lemosho 7 day route. There was information that I had been looking for that I really could not find easily. So, I thought I would share it. In this post, I am just going to share the distances etc. These were measured on a Garmin forerunner 965. The point where I stop
