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

to be fully honest, this is the Forerunner I grew impatient of

Suunto vs Garmin

I’ve had a fitbit Versa 3 for quite a while and it’s recently died and I’m looking into upgrading for a watch that can do a bit more. I’ve been getting lost in all the extra little features that I probably won’t use to the full extent and need help picking one out. I had the Garmin Forerunner 970 in

Race 2 Or Forerunner 970?

In short I'm looking for a sports watch with good battery life, good stats tracking and if possible gives you good advice depending on the stats. I really like the Race 2 but other than the better battery life it just seems to be a bit worse in every other aspect (hence the cheaper price). So is it

Watch buying advice/opinions. Garmin Forerunner 970 vs 965 vs 570 vs 265 vs 165 vs Polar Vantage V3

970 vs 570

What real benefit is there going with the Garmin Forerunner 970 vs the 570? There is a huge price gap between the two without much more benefit. This article shows some of the differences between them and from what I can tell, the differences are minimal. Thoughts? [Top 5 Running Watches in 2025 | R

Watchface Forerunner 970/570

Hey folks! I‘m using a Fenix 8 Amoled abd I‘m in love with this watach. Only thing is, that I would like to use the FR970/570 Watchface. I know it is possible to buy the watchface from Garmin in the store for 5,99€. In my opinion it is quite pricy…do you guys know a better possibility??

GPS Watch Recommendations: Coros Apex 4 or Garmin Forerunner 970

Hoping for some trail runners advice on which watch is better suited for the trails. I recently got into ultra running and find myself on the trails for longer times and more often. My current watch battery is good for ~9 hours with gps which is starting to not be enough. That said, I don’t want any
