Fenix 8 amoled vs solar! Trade?
As someone who's owned a Fenix 3, 5, 6, 7, Tactix 7, Forerunner 735XT, 955, and now has spent time with both the Forerunner 970 and Tactix 8 AMOLED (which I ended up keeping because I've worn a 51mm Garmin for years), I think Reddit tends to overstate the downsides of AMOLED. MIP is awesome, and the

Suunto Race 2 vs (Race 1, Race S, Garmin FR 970) in heart rate accuracy tests. 😈🔥 Preliminary findings.
Hope this helps anyone curious about the Race 2 and how it stacks up against other Suunto devices as well as Garmin’s Flagship Forerunner 970.
Seems to be a clear improvement in HR accuracy. It even managed to fight off Garmin’s Forerunner 970 in today’s Hill Rep session (600m of elevation). Seems

Sobre a Garmin
Putz, pessoal....eu estou começando a praticar corridas e fiz uma breve análise nos relógios da Garmin. Fiquei perplexo! O topo da linha Forerunner (970, certo?) está custando a partir de R$ 6000 em lojas mais confiáveis (centauro, garmin store, etc). Eu sou engenheiro eletrônico, tendo atuado com p

Hello Everyone,
After a week of overthinking on a thought of becoming a reddit reviewer I finally decided to pull the plug and will be posting many reviews of different tech products and shoes i use for my running starting with the one closest to me- COROS PACE PRO or in general, Coros brand.

Like the look of the Vertical 2 but is the software really that bad ?
Currently have a forerunner 970 and really tempted by the vertical 2 just love the look of this watch, but reading data not correlating and other software issues is this really that bad ?

New to Coros Pace Pro Family
Hello all,
I had the Garmin Forerunner 265, but then I upgraded to the Forerunner 970. I had the Forerunner 970 for about 3 weeks, and I realized it wasn’t really for me. I didn’t need all the fancy features. I just run, and I need a watch that’s simple and easy to use. So, I switched to the Pac

Leaving Garmin after 10 years (FR955 firmware fail). Suunto Race S or Coros Pace Pro?
I'm a long time Garmin user on holiday in Italy at the moment and my Forerunner 945 just died so I looked around for a replacement. The Suunto Race 2 titanium is less than half the price of a FR 970. I have a number of complaints about Garmin and how they treat customers so I thought it would be a g

Garmin or Coros?
As someone who has had all 3 (Apple Watch Ultra 3, Coros Pace Pro, Garmin Forerunner 970), I am a big fan of the Garmin. I could see myself going back to Coros if they came out with an AMOLED version of the Apex 4, but for now I'm really liking the Garmin and how much more customizable it is compare

Is an Oura Ring 5, Garmin Cirqa, or WHOOP worth it if I already have a Forerunner 970?
Unless you just like tons of data and getting into some kind of comparative analytics, if you have no intention of not wearing the forerunner 970 as you currently do, I can’t see a value case. The cirqa value case for many is the ability to not be wear their bulkier watches as much and potentially w
