Switching from Apple Watch to Garmin — is it really worth it?
Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about this for months and wanted to hear some real opinions from people who’ve actually made the jump from an Apple Watch to a Garmin (especially the Forerunner or Fenix series).
I currently use an Apple Watch Series 10, and honestly, I’m really happy with it. The G

[Apple] Introducing Apple Watch Ultra 3
As a Garmin user, to be honest I'm really sad about direction that Garmin is taking. Prices went up, at least here in PL, Fenix 8 Pro Amoled costs 1.5x of Apple Watch Ultra 3, while to use Satellite connection you need to have 9eur/month subscription (when apple provides it for 2 years for free).

Just bought an Instinct 2x Tactical in Japan, pretty sweet watch!
I was contemplating on whether I should splurge for an Enduro or maybe get a forerunner 965 or AWU2, but considering that I wanted as long of a battery life as possible, and something robust enough that lasts a long time, I ended up buying I2x Black Tactical version here in Japan for about 61k Yen (

Switching from Apple Watch to Garmin — is it really worth it?
As someone who has used Garmin on and off since the forerunner 301 and who has owned multiple AWs, what data can you get on Garmin that you can’t from Apple Watch + app ecosystem? I currently just switched from a Garmin 965 to an AWU3 (having had the AWU1 previously). I run 50Ks and looking to do a

Watch OS 26
Fyi if you check r/garmin & r/garminwatches, battery life is better for sure but they tend to drop support on their watches quickly. Eg. Epix 2 Pro / Fenix 7 didn’t get the new UI, isn’t getting new features, Forerunner 965 isn’t getting a lot of new features after the release of the 970, and they’r

To Garmin or not?
The main things I was looking for in a watch for long distance running: GPS enabled: tick for Garmin. smartphone app and linking to other apps (Strava): tick. ability to store music/podcasts: tick. battery life: tick. So fulfilled what I was after. Forerunner 965 btw.

I3 solar
Over the moon with this, i3 solar 45mm. Arrived today. Have come from Forerunner 965, I really missed the MIP display and solar capabilities. Love the addition of the torch. The orange band is not bad at all, was worried it would look a bit garish but it's actually a nice accent to the all black.

Watch recommendations
The first question should be: do you want a sports watch that just tracks your activities, or do you want a smartwatch for calls/notifications etc that also tracks your activities? What battery life do you need? Apple Watches for example need to be charged every day. Most Garmin/Coros/Suunto sport w

Garmin user thinking of jumping ship for a Coros
Hey /r/Coros, I've been a Garmin user for years and with their recent announcement of a subscription model + "AI", I sense enshittification looms on the horizon. I'm thinking of moving to Coros. Desired criteria:
- Music storage
- Maps/compass
- Superior battery life
- Low profile, ideally
- Tough build, scr
