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

What is your advice for first timers?
I’m 41M and placed second recently for my second half marathon. Here is my advice: Get the right shoes for your foot. The wrong pair can really hurt. Have a daily runner for comfort and a light weight shoe for speed or days you want to push a bit faster. Clean up your diet and avoid greasy foods and

Does swimming really burn this many calories?!
I picked up swimming several months ago. Just last week, I finally upgraded from my super old garmin forerunner 235 to a new forerunner 965. I was able to track a swim at the pool for the first time with the new watch and was stunned at how many calories that the garmin app and strata said I burned.

Is the T-Rex 3 Pro that bad?
I bought TR3pro after 4 Garmins, the last being FR965. There's no prefect sportswatch, but TR3pro is certainly nowhere near what Wired says. Sleep tracking is incredible, at least for me. It is 100% spot on, coming from Garmin was a blast. GPS is absolutely reliable and the rest of the metrics seem

Amazfit vs Garmin
As a owner of several Garmin watches over years, currently have a Forerunner 965 I strongly disagree regarding the daily suggested workouts, they are mostly a joke. Garmin software is also so so, and the connect app is a mess. Garmin sleep tracking another weakness. So instead go for a Forerunner 96

Race / Race S vs. Garmin
Hello - I currently have a Garmin Forerunner 965, but I’m on my second faulty device in the past year and can’t justify giving Garmin more money. I’m wondering if anyone has switched to Suunto recently and enjoyed their experience.
I’ll primarily use it for general road running (I live in a city w

Apple Watch Can Predict Heart Failure Using pVO2 Data with an AI Model
I had been lifelong garmin wearer and (amateur) competitive runner for almost 20 years, but i am in the maintenance phase of life (I still run / race). But for me, my watch is becoming more of a lifestyle watch / heart rate monitoring tool. I would like to have closer analysis of any heart irregular

Garmin for MTB (Everyone's got a different opinion)
I have been tracking with a Fitbit for two years. It's fine. It's a bit below fine. I am ready to upgrade to a Garmin, but of all the different Reddit threads on the topic, everyone is dogmatic about different models. Also, every time I search, I find a new model that I didn't even know existed. So,

Apex 4 (46 MM)
I received the Apex 4 today – bought on Amazon Spain, which has it in stock for next-day delivery, even though Coros Europe gives a two-week waiting time… I had a Nomad before, and a Pace 3 before that. Before the Pace 3 I had a Fenix 7X Solar. The Nomad’s and Apex 4’s MIP screens are both superior
