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

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

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

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,

Apex 4 (46 MM)
I received the Apex 4 today – bought on Amazon Spain, which has it in stock for next-day delivery, even though Coros Europe gives a two-week waiting time… I had a Nomad before, and a Pace 3 before that. Before the Pace 3 I had a Fenix 7X Solar. The Nomad’s and Apex 4’s MIP screens are both superior

Apple Watch or Garmin?
Went from an Apple Watch SE to a Garmin FR965 this week. I will say I’m part of the Apple ecosystem (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone) and was somewhat sad losing the interoperability, especially the closing rings function of the Apple Watch, but going into Garmin Connect and seeing all the stats it tracks

Worth upgrading to the Fenix 7/8, as a climber?
Hi all,
I currently have a Forerunner 965 that I wear daily and track workouts and sleep. It works great for most daily activities, however my main sport/hobby is climbing, and I take the watch off every time I climb because the glass and bezel scratch easily.
Ideally, I'd like to track my climbs

If you moved from Garmin, do you miss these things?
I'm debating switching to the Pixel Watch (either the 3, or perhaps the 4 later in the year). I currently have a Garmin Forerunner 965 which I generally like, but I feel like I'd enjoy a few things from the Pixel Watch more. For context, I run 3 times a week (only like 10-15 miles per week) and go

Is it true the UW 3 cannot continuously track & display my heart rate?
I’ve got a 965 and a AWU3. Initially I hated the fact I couldn’t see my live heart rate, steps etc but you know what, after a few days I actually quite like not having all the stuff there now. I can check my hr with one press and in 5 seconds on the AW and steps I can see pretty easily with an app c
