lol my Garmin Venu used to tell me it was “time to get active” after sitting down for 45 minutes. It was so annoying. I’d get back from an 18 miler and melt on my couch after my shower and then get that notice I have 265 now and I have not gotten any annoying notifications. Idk if I turned them off

I’m an Apple ecosystem loyalist (own Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, AppleTV), but begrudgingly admit that Garmin watches are waaaay better for running. Started marathon training a few weeks ago and caved and bought a Garmin, and it’s incredible how it surpasses the AW in both features and

I got it at the suggestion of a PT. I used for a month and then canceled my subscription (yesterday actually). I have a Garmin Venu watch and it does very similar plus a ton more. It’s more expensive but after the $90 for the visible band plus subscription I still thinks it’s a better value. Edit: a

I wish they'd lean into the Sense line. I decided to leave my Sense 1 for a Garmin Venu 3 about 9 months ago, and while there are a lot of things about the Garmin that I like, I have to admit that the fitbit algorithms are superior for health and sleep tracking. I could tell when I was getting sick

Ich nutze eine Garmin Venu 3 und mach Cardio an einem Indoor Bike von LifeFitness. Die Puls-Werte der Uhr und des Bikes sind bei mir nahezu indentisch und kommen vom Anstrengungslevel ganz gut hin.Würde also nicht sagen, dass alle Geräte würfeln. Würde die verbauten Pulsmesser aber aufgrund der Posi

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

I switched from a series 5 AW to a Garmin Venu 3 and the week long battery wasn’t worth the hassle of losing the features of an Apple Watch. I still took it off to shower and often would put it on the charger during that time anyways because otherwise I would just forget and it would wind up in low

I reckon opt for the Garmin Venu 4 so you can compare it to your recently deceased Fitbit to decide which one is better? Once my PW3 reaches it's end of life, I'll give either a Garmin, Polar or Motorola Watch a go.

I do own a Garmin Venu 3, but I won't be using it for Pokémon Sleep. I prefer sticking with my Go Plus + so I know all my sleep hours get counted.🙂 I move around so much early in the morning that I have to leave the Go Plus + on my bedside table for about 10 minutes before ending the sleep session.

I went from the original Venu to the PW4. The major drawbacks are the battery life and the lack of advanced training metrics. My Venu lasted 1,5-2 weeks, my PW lasts two days, although I will say it charges so quickly that I'm not really bothered by it. The Venu features a lot more, and more in-dept
