Does swimming really burn this many calories?!

I picked up swimming several months ago. Just last week, I finally upgraded from my super old garmin forerunner 235 to a new forerunner 965. I was able to track a swim at the pool for the first time with the new watch and was stunned at how many calories that the garmin app and strata said I burned.

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

Race / Race S vs. Garmin

Hello - I currently have a Garmin Forerunner 965, but I’m on my second faulty device in the past year and can’t justify giving Garmin more money. I’m wondering if anyone has switched to Suunto recently and enjoyed their experience.

I’ll primarily use it for general road running (I live in a city w

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?

That’s just not true. The chest monitor is significantly more accurate than my forerunner 965 sensor. Especially for shorter intervals and in colder weather

Just got this Insta ad

I've had mine since August. All the sports activities I recorded up 12 October (4-5 per week) have disappeared. The ring no longer records sports activities now, it just returns blank data and then doesn't even save that. Steps are off. Compared to my Garmin FR965 HR average s mostly seemed to be in

Day 2 with Amazfit Trex 3 Pro and Impressions

My experience is quite different, Amazfit's sleep tracking is analysis spot on, at least for me. First of all, it tracks my naps impressively, Garmin (my last Garmin was FR965) was all over the place. It also tracks incredibly well my night sleeps, I work shifts and my sleep can be quite inconsisten

Amazfit T-Rex Pro 3 Review: An Underrated Champion

I did not say Amazfit is similar to Garmin. If you used Garmin Fenix or Forerunner 965 you would now how far Amazfit is from those watches. Nevertheless, Amazfit tried to offer alternative, but failed at several key aspects: very short product support (even shorter than Garmin's) navigation problems

Forerunner 965 issues

I’ve been disappointed with my 965 for following reasons but perhaps there are solutions I’m not aware of.

  1. As another post mentioned, battery life is no where near the 20 days. Even with a Pulse Ox off and only short GPS runs a few times a week, i have to charge every 4-5 days.
  2. Heart rate zone work

Still undecided... Polar Vantage V3 or Garmin Forerunner 965?

I don't know what would be a better option. I just run... I want an AMOLED display, useful yet well presented metrics related to running, recovery and wellbeing.

Garmin seems to offer more features, however I much prefer elegant and robust look of Polar watches. Yet Polar financial situa
