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

Why did so many people can't 100% breakup with Garmins?

I have to pulled the trigger and bought a coros pace 4 yesterday, downgrading from a Garmin forerunner 965, sick to death of the Garmin ecosystem/app. Wanting some cleaner & modern, Garmin app is laggy and design looks old and everything is such a chew to do on the app and the fact I won’t be gettin

Pergunta simples pra quem possui/possuiu um Garmin: quanto tempo durou o relógio de vocês?

Um pouco fora do que vc perguntou, mas ainda dentro do assunto: Seu maior risco é seu Garmin não durar nas atualizações de software do que em questão de hardware. Existe um grande debate entre "Você continua tendo tudo o que o relógio prometia no dia que comprou" e "Um absurdo a Garmin deixar meu mo

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

I think my adderall was making me sicker

Garmin Forerunner 965. Which is way overkill for measuring sleep, but I bought it for myself after my 6 months of acute illness were over and I thought I'd be able to start running again. The Vivoactive or something similar would probably be good enough for these metrics.

Should I buy a V3 or wait for the next model?

I hope my experience and personal opinion helps you I helped A LOT! Thank you very much! I am coming back to triathlon after an injury, that's why I decided to go with the V3. Since I'm kinda old now, I decided to stay in Polar's environment with the V3 instead of going for Garmin's Forerunner 965.

My First Garmin Watch! (Forerunner 165)

Yes, but the really annoying thing is that in many Garmin watches, the features are actually just disabled on the "cheaper" watches, so the hardware can be pretty similar under the hood. Anyway, my point was more in humour than anything else - no matter how much you pay, there's always a feature (an

Just did the upgrade

En gros si tu fais pas des trails de 30 H voir + ça te sers à rien ! J’ai la 970 et franchement c’est la mieux pour moi. Cest vraiment histoire de dire que tu as ceci ou cela au dessus car peu de gens on besoin d’une fenix 7 ou 8 ! Moi je pilote et ma femme m’a acheter une Garmin, mais la 965 foreru

Wahl einer Garmin Laufuhr

Bisher hatte ich gesagt ne ist egal, solange Bugs eliminiert werden, was garmin auch für ältere Geräte macht. Aber letztens gab es ein Update, womit man direkt nach einem Lauf bzw Aktivität das Equipment angeben konnte in der Uhr ohne Smartphone. Für mich, der immer andere Schuhe zum Laufen verwende
