For men who had belly fat, how did you burn it?

Part 2: I find it helpful to give myself a date I would like to be at a certain weight. Don't be overly aggressive with these goals, but you might say in 18 weeks I want to be 27 lbs lighter (1.5 lbs/week lost). I would also take photos of yourself maybe every 10 lbs or so, just so you can see the p

My watch fell into the wood chipper at work...

I'm surprised you could recognize it! It was the Venu 3, I bought it a few months ago for my birthday so I was pretty bummed it happened. I actually did end up contacting Garmin and I'm honestly so shocked they offered to replace it. They had me send the old one back and I about lost it when I packa

Disappointed in Venu 4 look and feel

I think you have a case of Garmin giant watch syndrome. That watch is the perfect size for your wrist. Change that ugly silicon band and you will have a great looking watch. The Venu 4 is the best looking watch next to the Marq now. It is the only one that doesn't look cheap with that plastic body s

Garmin users say their watches are bricked with a ‘blue triangle of death’

Garmin subreddit is on fire. I have a Venu 3 and had to factory reset, all settings and data are lost. Modern technology, gotta love auto-pushed broken updates!

Strava: If you get rid of Garmin, I will get rid of you

As a European it’s a bit strange to see two American companies fight over my data. First Garmin raises prices like us in Europe ought to to included in Trumps tariffs on Americans and now this open battle of my data. Now my Strava Premium is cancelled, the connection to Garmin will be cut, and I wil

A recent post got me thinking how important data is in making decisions about fitness and drinking

I treated myself to a Garmin Venu 3s last year and one surprising thing has been extremely eye opening. It ALWAYS knows when I drink. Even though I don't track my drinking in the app. Something about having more than two drinks in a night causes my body to have strong responses that it interprets as

265s, 570 or wait?

Garmin has confirmed that the 570 is the replacement for the 2xx series. There will not be a 270. So why wait? Your choices are 265 or 570. The general consensus is that although the 570 is an improvement over the 265 and adds new features, the price is far too high. A 965 costs about the same and h

Daily Thread September 28, 2025 🧵

Well….How do you feel about the government having access to your health data? Oura just partnered with tech surveillance company Palentir 😬. Just something to keep in mind especially since Oura extensively tracks monthly cycles. I never bought one but it would drive me nuts running or lifting weight

Fenix 8 the last generation of MIPS?

Garmin need to stop trying to compete with Apple. They cannot compete with the Apple watch. Apple lock them out of their ecosystem. They need to continue to focus on their core market. Moving info smartwatch territory is suicide. If they want a smartwatch then they can focus on the Venu for that and
