Forerunner 970

hey there lovely people,

I purchased the Fenix 8 couple of days ago and like the watch and its features very much.

However, I noticed that the Display gets sometimes really dim, especially when it’s dark outside, to the point where I can hardly read the Dial.

I know that this has been an issue

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

What smartwatch would you guys recommend for running? I'm running for two months and I'm looking for a good watch to track my workout. I was thinking about Garmin forerunner 970, Fenix 8 or maybe I just wait for Apple Watch Ultra 3. My biggest concern about Garmin is the OS due to a lot of people

Forerunner 970 is full price in mpery country. Imo f970 compete with cheetah pro. Ultra compete with garmin fenix.

The 965 would be overkill for what you're describing, to say nothing of the 970. For the budget and use-case I'd recommend the forerunner 265, or even the 255 if you can find one new. Not familiar with the Coros watches, DC Rainmaker has a bunch of reviews.

Your forerunner has LTE? My forerunner 970 does has that feature active and it has sent out distress signals before but I think it may have had to use my phone's signal. To my knowledge, ony the Fenix Pro with LTE can actually send out distress without phone.
