La mejor compra del 2025

Me siento contento con esta compra, inicialmente había pensado en un Forerunner 165, Pero ya puesto en mi muñeca lo ví demasiado pequeño frágil, no cumplió mis expectativas, el i3 solar si cumplió.

Coros Pace 4 x Garmin FR 165

Is my heart rate too high

I am 27 male. I started running back in April and have always had a high heart rate, even during easy runs it is in the 160s. Yesterday I did a 5k and my HR hit a high of 193 climbing up from an average of 183 by the end of kilometre 1. Using the 220-27=193 I was at my max heart rate. Surely this is

Laufuhr mit gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gesucht

Ich hatte einige Garmin Modelle (auch teurere wie ne Fenix) und ne zeitlang auch eine Apple Watch, aber Coros bietet für mich das mit Abstand beste Erlebnis. Meine Pace 4 für unter 300€ ist besser als jede Smartwatch/Sportuhr, die ich je besessen habe. Die passt also perfekt in dein Budget und ist m

Garmin users - do the Runna audio prompts work for you?

If yes, what watch do you have? Trying to figure out what watch I need to have the audio prompts work as expected. My old watch use to integrate with the Runna app seamlessly but ever since I switched to the Forerunner 165 the Runna cues no longer work :(.

I'm specifically looking for the Runna pro

First time AMOLED user

I bought a Forerunner 165 to try out the AMOLED display. Being an Instinct user and tried a few Fenix along the way.

What a disappointment when I decided to up to the Epix Pro 42mm with sapphire (no regular gorilla glass available at the time in this case size)

I knew the glass could make a differ

thinking of getting a running smartwatch

Garmin - FR55, 165 if nakakaluwag, 255 or 265 if mayaman Coros - Pace 3, Pace 4, or Even Pace Pro Narrow your choices between these 2 brands since you specify that you will be using it for running.Upgraded from fr165 to fr255 mainly because of MIP haha hindi ko trip amoled.

What Black Friday Garmin would beat Pace 4 / Apex 4

I'm very hesitant to get a Garmin because of their app, and the fact that they seem to be moving towards price-locking so many of their features. That said, from a pure watch comparison standpoint - if I could get the Forerunner 265 for $250-$300, I might choose that over the Pace 4. I would definit
