Wanting to sell fr 970 for a coros pace 4 for middle distance track trainings.
Moved from FR 965 3 month ago to pace 4. The whole coros system is miles better than Garmin. You won’t feel the quality like you do with with your 970 but the price difference between the watches you can’t expect the same build quality, but the pace 4 is extremely light to the point you don’t even f

MIP lovers: what would you do when Garmin quits making MIP screen watches?
I'd switch to Coros.Frankly I feel like I'm tolerating Garmin, lately. Every single one of their new watches comes with less battery life than its previous models, the Fenix lineup is getting ridiculous, they didn't even bother making a small size MIP F8, the Venu 4 is now a 2 buttons only watch, al

Forerunner 570 or 970?
Also, does 570 and 970 contains this new firmware look like on Venu 4? Yes, starting with Fenix 8 all Garmin wearables now share the underlying SW platform (but not the features - those still differ depending on the model). Apart from the more durable build, 970 gives you 4x more onboard storage (wh

Upgrading to the AWU3 from AWU1 or swtich to Garmin series?
Garmin is more sports watch. If you have notifications turned off I would recommend you Garmin. Look for Forerunner 570 or 970 which are designed specifically for runners or Enduro which is designed for outdoor sports and battery optimization. Main reasons to Garmin switch: battery life physical but

Apex 4 or Pace pro?
Y luego la pantalla amoled al final es estética si se ve bonita pero para que la quieres para consumir vas batería mira el apex 4 tiene mejor construcción que el forerunner 970 y es más barata porque no tiene amoled a lo mejor el apex con amoled cuesta 600 algo o 700 y bueno luego a parte de la pant

COROS > Garmin
Ich habe eine Garmin Forerunner 970. Saphirglas jnd Titanlünette finde ich gut, kann man dann ohne bedenken mit Kind und im Alltag tragen. Ich hätte keine Argumente für eine GARMIN. Ich find Garmin überteuert. Ne Apex 4 wird dich sicher glücklich machen.

Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro vs Garmin Forerunner 970, Urban GPS test
I'd like to know more about the size and comparison on the wrist. I have the 970 which I prefer over the Fenix as it looks smaller and it's definitely lighter... Does the Cheetah feel bigger and bulkier or heavier? There's something I don't quite like about these last generation Garmins...but can't

Garmin watch
I went with the forerunner 970 specifically because it was lighter than the fenix. Slightly less premium feel, but same features. And lighter on the wrist.

Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra has been release
That's completely false. I also had the Race 2 Titanium, before considering the Vertical 2 titanium. Even the crown is made of titanium. That watch is really incredible well built. Even the Race S Titanium, which can be bought for 350 euro, is full titanium Titanium is only new for Amazfit, not Suun
