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

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.

Any advice please Garmin 570 42mm VS 265s

When people say "stop being updated" about Garmin watches, there is a slight misunderstanding Unlike an Apple Watch or an iPhone which receives a big OS update once a year that added new features, Garmin watches don't work like that If the watch is "current" i.e. the "new" model (like the 570 or 970

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

Welke garmin?

Ik heb laatst de forerunner 965 gehaald via de ING punten shop. Vind het een erg fijn horloge en vind achteraf de kaart functionaliteit erg leuk. Merk nu dat ik vaker naar verschillende plekken ga en daar gewoon een route via de kaart inlaad en dan meer van de omgeving ontdek. Heb geen ervaring met

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

Mudança de relógio

ok, não é multi band e não é especialmente famoso pela precisão. Experimenta o 955/965/970, têm multi band e a melhor precisão da linha garmin.

Looking for a running watch, dual-band GPS is a must. Budget ~€200. Amazfit Balance 2XT vs. Suunto Run?

I have been using Suunto run for several months. I am a runner and do strength training twice a week. In 6 months of use, I have 2100 km. I was a Garmin user. The last watch I owned was a forerunner 965. Suunto run has a precise gps. It can be compared to the forerunner 965. They have the same accur

Switching watches

I recently moved from a forerunner 245 to a forerunner 965 (you can find them discounted now since the 970 came out). I love it.. the course navigation seems really good
