[Apple] Introducing Apple Watch Ultra 3

As a Garmin user, to be honest I'm really sad about direction that Garmin is taking. Prices went up, at least here in PL, Fenix 8 Pro Amoled costs 1.5x of Apple Watch Ultra 3, while to use Satellite connection you need to have 9eur/month subscription (when apple provides it for 2 years for free). Al

Dear Coros, you have lost your way…

On the flipside, I personally regret going with garmin. I have a fr265 and and HRM600. And turns out that there is a ton of data that comes from the HRM600 that I can't access. Not because it doesn't collect it, but because the software doesn't calculate it. If I want speed step loss, running econom

I left Garmin!

I’m now part of Team Coros watches as well. I got myself the Coros Pace Pro. Previously, I had the Garmin Fenix 7X, Forerunner 965, Fenix 8 AMOLED, and Enduro 3. I find Garmin completely overloaded; most of the data they analyze is not really useful, like “Stamina,” just to name one example. Additio

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

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.

Would Strava be able to track my distance ran at 5-a-side football?

yes it would track it, the accuracy probably wouldn't be very good though. even with my garmin forerunner 965 it's a bit iffy

from Garmin to Amazfit and back

I switched from FR965 to T-rex 3 pro back in September. The reasons were three; -FR965 was a mild disappointment for me as an item. Its screen brightness was not what I wanted and 1500 knits just didn't cut it for me under the summer sun. It also felt too cheap. Yes, I know, it's supposed to be ligh

Bon finalement

Moi je l’aime. J’ai eu Forerunner 965, Epix 2 pro et Fenix 8, et du point de vu hardware c’est de loin ma préférée. Très légère (j’ai la titanium) et fine, elle est confortable et j’aime son look très épuré. L’écran est vraiment meilleur que celui de la Fenix 8 à mon avis, la batterie est également
