Sobre a Garmin

Putz, pessoal....eu estou começando a praticar corridas e fiz uma breve análise nos relógios da Garmin. Fiquei perplexo! O topo da linha Forerunner (970, certo?) está custando a partir de R$ 6000 em lojas mais confiáveis (centauro, garmin store, etc). Eu sou engenheiro eletrônico, tendo atuado com p

New to Coros Pace Pro Family

Hello all,

I had the Garmin Forerunner 265, but then I upgraded to the Forerunner 970. I had the Forerunner 970 for about 3 weeks, and I realized it wasn’t really for me. I didn’t need all the fancy features. I just run, and I need a watch that’s simple and easy to use. So, I switched to the Pac

Big bug on my Forerunner 970 ! (And a question)

I'm disgusted. This morning, while I was running a 10 km race, my forrunner 970 crashed after the start while I was changing music tracks. The screen remained frozen for 200 meters, and my watch therefore did not record my 10 km. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Another question for those w

Forerunner 970 stability

I read a lot of complaints about the 970 being sluggish and randomly crashing. Now, as a serious runner this is unacepptable. However, I know people like to complain. So I got to ask, is it really that bad? I have had the 965 for quite long and never had a crash or a issue during a workout. I will o

Any Garmin Sail Race users?

I just got a new Forerunner 970. Tried using Sail Race for the first time for a race last weekend, and it did not have the same features as my buddy’s Quatix 7. The Quatix 7 had a bunch of data screens like VMG, some navigation screens, speed screens, etc. My Forerunner just had basic HR data and so
