I got a Garmin Forerunner 965 which is super tight, motivates me to limit my drinking and I’ve been killing cardio because of it

Also fun - bought a LAB putter which is a ton of fun

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).

The goal was simple: complete the

COROS PACE 4 black crystal or Garmin 265s

If budget is not an issue, then choose Garmin. It has better build quality. It has everything you need in a running watch and then some. My previous watch was the Forerunner 965. I’m now using a Pace 4. It’s more running focused and a little bit simpler. I didn’t need all the bells and whistles. I d

Finally decided to join the club.

Decided to pull the trigger on this beautiful watch. I’m torn between my garmin forerunner 965 and this one but it’s still a very nice watch. Got it today so I’ll give it some time.
