Does a watch for running really make a difference?
My Garmin 265 really has done me wonders in terms of not having to carry too much on a run. I've always hated taking my phone to time anything and the Garmin has been incredibly useful in terms of accuracy of my runs, HR, etc. Measures my sleep data, body battery, and other useful tidbits. You can g

Vossa compra wow
Se andas de avião: Phones com noise cancelling Se não andas de avião: Phones com noise cancelling (Arranjei há uns anos uns da anker, os SC Liberty 4NC foram dos 50 paus mais bem gastos que tive. Não faltam opções decentes, mas estes são porreiros para chamadas e a bateria dura imenso). Outras coisa

Thinking about switching to Garmin
Nag switch ako from apple watch SE to garmin forerunner 55. The only reason is battery life. Daily ka magcharge kay apple watch pero garmin can last up a week.

Is it worth changing to Garmin
I moved to a Forerunner 265. Mainly because the GPS on my Charge 5 was so unreliable - at best it worked 25% of the time. Garmin GPS has been extremely accurate and 100% reliable in one month of post-Christmas use. I bet the Forerunner 55 would be the same.

Is this horrible dreadful feeling of wanting to explode under-stimulation?
I also suffered from anger and under stimulation. I used to be the kind of person who said I wasn't a runner. But then I learned that you can stim while running by timing your feet with "out, out, in" breaths. Now whenever I feel like wanting to explode I know I need to run and I can do it now that

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

Which watch are you using for running?
Garmin forerunner 55. It’s basic, functional, and the battery lasts a long time. It gives me just what I need - time, pace, distance, lap function, etc. I am not interested in endless data and analytics. I don’t want a sleep score, stress score, etc. things like that would probably do more harm than

Is Garmin worth it?
I've really liked all of my Garmin watches! Check out anything from the Forerunner line, like the Forerunner 55. And highly recommend getting a refurbished/used one to save money, if that's an issue for you. You can get the 55, 45, or 35 for a pretty good deal refurbished/used.
