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

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

This article shows some of the differences between them and from what I can tell, the differences are minimal. Thoughts? [Top 5 Running Watches in 2025 | R

Love my Forerunner 255 but want the golf features - most affordable way to make the move?

My Forerunner 255 has been great for everything I want to do - mostly running and health tracking. The only problem is the lack of golf functionality. I have a separate Approach (S10? - the square one with no phone connectivity?). I don't want to have to swap watches when I go to the golf course, an

New Forerunner/Fenix
