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

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

Pace Pro or Garmin 970 I got for $470
I got completely fed up with endless bugs and back and forth with Garmin customer support for my Forerunner 955. The app really sucks too. I recently got the Coros Apex 4 and almost everything about it makes it a joy to use compared to Garmin and the 955. For every one thing that I might think Garmi

Switching from Garmin to Amazfit
As someone who has used the Garmin Forerunner 965, then the 970, and now the Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra along with the HRM600, I’m overall very happy with Amazfit. That said, there are still a few things I miss from Garmin. On Garmin, I appreciated features like the web UI, daily suggested workouts, an

Pourquoi Coros ?
Mira si eres de asfalto, estaría entre coros o Garmin yo te lo digo muy claro si no te importa no tener funciones Smart Watch, responder mensajes, responder llamadas poder pagar con el reloj vete a COROS, porque COROS es más barato y tiene un autonomía que Garmin no tiene de hecho el pace 4 le gana

Talk me out of my Garmin…
I sold my Garmin forerunner 970 to get into my Apple Watch Ultra 3. I’m not gonna convince you of anything you do whatever you want. Personally I was sick of having a watch that didn’t do a lot of things and would have a laggy screen when I’m just trying to start an outdoor walk

Garmin CIRQA ..
So I’m trying the Google Fitbit Air now, but use a Garmin Forerunner 970 for workouts (need a screen to track metrics etc). I’ve also had a Whoop. My 2 cents. App: Whoop > Google Health > Garmin Connect Hardware: Whoop > Fitbit Air > Cirqa (obviously an assumption, but man, is that thing massive - f

Switching from WHOOP to Garmin CIRQA — how is strength training tracked?
Some people complain that Garmin is absolutely terrible for strength training. These issues usually come from people wearing larger watches like the Fenix, Forerunner 970, or Enduro 3. If your wrist is thin and you are wearing a massive 47mm or 51mm watch, it is not going to stay snug while you trai
