[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

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

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

Garmin user thinking of jumping ship for a Coros

Hey /r/Coros, I've been a Garmin user for years and with their recent announcement of a subscription model + "AI", I sense enshittification looms on the horizon. I'm thinking of moving to Coros. Desired criteria:

  • Music storage
  • Maps/compass
  • Superior battery life
  • Low profile, ideally
  • Tough build, scr

Crazy HR stats

I mean you’d be surprised. I have a Garmin forerunner 965 and sometimes on long runs (of 15+ miles) it’ll just decide my heart rate is 75 the whole time (it’s not trust me). Even decently expensive watches are really not that accurate unfortunately.

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
