I've used this sub to pick out my watch (Forerunner 970) and see a lot of posts asking for advice, so here was the process I used. I'm not going to go into hardcore feature comparisons, there are a ton of youtube videos out there explaining all this stuff.

Background: I started with a Forerunner

I’m looking to upgrade my watch soon and could use some input. My main activities are cycling, gym workouts, walking, and trail hiking. I’m currently using a Vivoactive 4 but want something with better GPS accuracy, improved sensors, and full-featured maps.

I’m deciding between the fēnix 8 (47mm, A

I'm considering upgrading to a new Garmin watch and am torn between the Forerunner 965 and the newly released Forerunner 970.
