Do you track sleep and health?
I wear a Garmin Venu 3S and freaking love it! It tracks my lifting sessions, my steps, my sleep.

Bye Fitbit Sense 2, hello Garmin Venu 3s
Unfortunately my decade or so of Fitbit watches is coming to an end. I have nothing really negative to say about Fitbit itself. I don't. Just... Google.
My wife and I both used to own the Sense 2, and hers lasted for just about 2 years and mine died a few weeks ago. Her battery died. Didn't last mo

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

Is there a reason Garmin watches are never mentioned on LTT when they are talking about smart watches?
I've been rocking Garmin for years and recently moved up to a Venu 3s. Yes they are more expensive but for me I want something that does the health stuff well can give me some phone notifications and otherwise just stays out of the way with strong multi day battery life. Almost every conversation I

Fitness trackers/smart watches with immediate heart rate alerts?
I have a Garmin Venu 3S. Switched from an Apple watch and it seems to alert way quicker. I feel my heart rate increasing a little and a couple moments later the watch will confirm it, i get a notification asking if something is wrong/relax reminder. I bought the watch in the first place to better mo

Switching to Garmin because of the Awful Updates
I got a Venu 3S last week and absolutely love it, especially the web dashboard - just like in the old days before Google bought Fitbit. Sleep tracking seems fine to me (I used both the Venu and Charge 6 for a couple of days). I also got the subscription, and the food tracking there is really good. I

I’m trying to decide between the garmin vivoactive 5 or 6 to start using pacing
Garmin has a compare feature and you can compare the two and select the box to show only differences and see if they matter to you. https://www.garmin.com/en-CA/compare/?compareProduct=1057989&compareProduct=1555457 The only differences that may make a difference for pacing are minor: 6 has sleep al

The Love Affair is Ending
Garmin's sleep tracking is not nearly as good as Fitbit or Apple. Some garmins (with older sensors) have third tier accuracy on HR. The Garmin venu 3s has a newer sensor ,( the elevate 4 sensor iirc?)and it's HR accuracy is on par with Fitbit. Others complain that Garmin build quality on some models

[WEEKLY THREAD] Shopping and Style Saturday/Sunday - Gym clothes, gadgets, shoes, makeup, hair, skincare, and sales!
If you plan on getting more into running, forerunners tend to be the superior watch over the two. For general fitness, Lily and vivomove should be fine. I believe all 3 have the previous Gen heart rate sensor. The Venu 3s and 4s is also pretty nice looking, with the latest heart rate sensor. 4s has
