Leaving Garmin after 10 years (FR955 firmware fail). Suunto Race S or Coros Pace Pro?
I'm a long time Garmin user on holiday in Italy at the moment and my Forerunner 945 just died so I looked around for a replacement. The Suunto Race 2 titanium is less than half the price of a FR 970. I have a number of complaints about Garmin and how they treat customers so I thought it would be a g

Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra has been release
Well, I am not sure where all this is going. Amazfit built its reputation and consumer base by offering really affordable devices with good hardware and a lot of features albeit software with confusing and not quite reliable algorithms. But their recent devices are coming with Garmin prices. Hardwar

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.

Empfehlungen Pulsuhr
Ich nutze zwar eine Garmin (Forerunner 970) würde aber in der niedrigeren Preisklasse auf Coros (Pace Reihe) zurückgreifen. Wenn du keine Offline-Karten brauchst Pace 2, 3 oder 4 je nach Budget. Wenn du Offline-Karten brauchst, Pace Pro. Bei Garmin kriegst du leider relativ wenig für dein Geld. Eine

How best use Garmin HRM-600 HRM and Garmin 735xt

New Cheetah 2 Pro at around 459$
It Is rather a bit expensive compare to the Coros Pace Pro (at around US$100 above the launched price), which is another sport watch at the same level as Forerunner 970 and Cheetah 2 Pro. To be honest. Compare the FR970 to its predecessor fr965, it is over US$200 difference at their launched price.
