What watches do Singaporean men/women wear for their daily driver?

Can't recommend the forerunner 55 now. I've had it for 3 years and the battery deteriorated faster than I thought. It has also started to randomly shut down DURING the workout which mega sucks. Get something with a better battery life. Coros seems to be doing some good stuff. The higher end Garmins

What happens if you go over the distance of the run? Does Runna and Strava still record it?

My garmin forerunner 55 doesn’t automatically end the workout. It says workout finished but the clock keeps going until I press stop. Just the other day I purposely went .25 over and it recorded 3 miles instead of the prescribed 2.75

Kamusta po 10K progress ko? Beginner here 😅

Oo nga po eh, need ko sya icharge lagi. 😅 sige po I’ll check po yung watches below. Sa Garmin parang nakita ko naka sale yung Forerunner 55 ata yun? Not sure tho kung oks sya compared sa ibang unit ng Garmin.

TTT - Travessia Torres Tramandaí - 84km

Aos poucos minha tolerância está melhorando, nessa última prova foi depois dos 50km que comecei a sentir desconforto e enjoo (nunca tinha passado dos 50km). Vi que muitos atletas fizeram e eu não planejei foi uma pausa nos 42km para um almoço de comida de verdade. Talvez 20 min parado ali me fariam

Qual relógio vocês me indicariam?

Os Apps tbm são menos precisos, o Strava te deixa um pouco mais rápido e o Adidas mais lerdo. Eu paguei 950 a quase 2 anos no Amazfit Cheetah, e não posso reclamar, sendo facilmente superior ao já datado Garmin FR55. Pode ser usado pra corrida, triatlum, natação em águas abertas, tem o treinador zee

deinfluence me: garmin lily 2 / active

Been running for more than a decade and cycling since the pandemic. Bought my first garmin around end of 2024 and that was the cheapest offering (forerunner 55). Only needed it for the long battery life, one full charge can last you a week with moderate activities. TLDR: to expensive, cheaper option

best watch for runners that can handle a full marathon, what features mattered most to you?

I don't know where you live, but here in Brazil the FR55, which is the most basic Garmin model, costs approximately 2x the price of an Amazfit Bip 6 or a Huawei Fit 5 and is much older.

Desktop uploads and cold-weather runs

Hello, FR55 is really limited compared to any Coros models, from Pace 4 to any other. I own (or my wife) multiple Garmin, FR45, VivoActive 3, Fenix 6 Pro and since 3 years a Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar Coros doesn't have computer application, like Garmin Express, but no interest because this doesn't hel

First trail race — how do you evaluate performance and progress?

Hey, thanks a lot for the encouragement and the info — it’s really helpful as a reference. I have a Garmin, but it’s the most basic one (FR55). It doesn’t have live elevation/altimetry, I can only see it after the run.
