Samsung Health wants me to work out again after my 10-mile run 🫠

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

Is getting an Apple Watch worth if for running?

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

does anyone know of any similar devices to the visible band?

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

Should I still invest in Fitbit or is it a dead brand?

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

Herzfrequenzmesser an Fitnessgeräten im Gym- eher ein kleiner Rant als ne Frage😂

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

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

Pebble seeks to remedy the wearable industry's original sin

Agreed, I loved my PTR. I agree that Pebble's philosophy of complementing phones rather than miniaturizing them is ideal, which is why I've never cared for Apple Watches. That said, I've grown so accustomed to my Garmin Venu 3's HR monitoring and GPS activity tracking that I can't go back to Pebble.

Every time they say “But you need to charge it…” - this how I imagine Garmin users

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

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
