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

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

I bought a T-Rex 3

I was torn between the Garmin Forerunner 970 and the T-Rex 3, but I ended up buying the T-Rex 3. However, it only supports VO2 max for running, and the Zepp training plans are too difficult, with intensities that don’t match my level, which is a bit overwhelming. Since I enjoy cycling a lot, it’s di

Forerunner 970 - clicking sound

Hello everyone,

I’ve been using my new FR970 for three days now. I’ve noticed that when I start a running activity, for example, there’s always a clearly audible clicking sound right after the tone. It sounds like the click happens when the speaker is “powered off” again. (I’m not sure how to descr

Multisport Function vs 3 Separate activities on watch

Forerunner 745, 955 and now a 970 but haven't raced with it yet. Multisport every time. Who has time to stop and activity, save it, find and start a new one? This is a race, not a workout. I just hit the lap button at timing belts as I don't trust the auto transitions either.

Hi there guys, At first I was going to buy some Garmin but now I want basically anything but Garmin due to their subscriptions, overpriced watches etc. But I want really good watch and t-rex 3 pro seemed like one.

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
