And with that I’m off to Garmin

Today was the 1,000th day of hitting my 10,000-step-per-day goal, and with that, I’m off to Garmin. I like Fitbit, and I’ve had quite a few going back as far as 2015. When Fitbit was bought by Google, things declined, and small things kind of annoyed me. For this past Christmas, I got a Garmin Forer

Made the switch, open to suggestions

Went from Samsung Galaxy Watch to Garmin Forerunner 265. Sure, I am missing out on the new watch that just came out, but boy is it so much better. I can confidently run without my phone and trust the GPS accuracy. Past 4 days with the watch and everything seems to be better (GPS, battery, insites, e

Runners: Do You Use Instinct 3? Pros, Cons, and Tips Wanted

Hi everyone,

I currently own a Forerunner 265 and I’m quite happy with it. I’m a hobby runner, training 3–4 times per week, and I occasionally swim. I don’t hike at the moment because of small children, but I really enjoy hiking whenever possible.

Recently, though, I started thinking about “sidegr

Ik wil mijn eerste Garmin gaan kopen.

Ik zou je richten op de forerunner lijn. Heel veel mensen lopen met de 255. Een prima horloge met alles wat je nodig hebt. Prijs zit rond de 250 euro. Deze beschikt over een MIP-scherm. Mocht je amoled mooier vinden, dus wat meer “levendigheid” in de kleuren en weergave van je scherm, kies dan voor

Garmin user thinking about Coros…

I moved from garmin forerunner 265s to coros pace pro last Sunday. Best choice ever. The app is way more clear. Coros Workout builder... No comparison with the garmin one. The web app training hub is amazing. It has almost all the information of workouts that you can find within training peaks. Work

Watch recs

I also have a garmin forerunner 265s- and love it- I upgraded from the forerunner 55. I liked the 55, but upgraded bc I was ready to track more activities and was interested in the other stats- but the forerunner 55- allowed me to track my runs, walks, yoga, and strength-and is a bit more affordable

So long and thanks for all the fish

I graduated to Garmin at the beginning of the year. I do think that the Fitbit has its place though. Before the Fitbit I didn't really have a regular exercise routine. I didn't really look at steps much but at first I told myself "no matter what, every day I'm going to get 21 zone minutes every week

Coros Pace 3 VS Garmin FR 165

pace 3 is better spec-wise. pero tbh, fr 165 will be more than enough for 70-80% of the casual/hobby runners out there. I have an FR265 but at the end of the day, all I care about is my HR, Pace and distance which is available kahit sa entry level na garmin.
