Laufuhr mit gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gesucht
Ich hatte einige Garmin Modelle (auch teurere wie ne Fenix) und ne zeitlang auch eine Apple Watch, aber Coros bietet für mich das mit Abstand beste Erlebnis. Meine Pace 4 für unter 300€ ist besser als jede Smartwatch/Sportuhr, die ich je besessen habe. Die passt also perfekt in dein Budget und ist m

Ut2 splits way slower than my peers with similar / same 2k times
First of all, I suppose you have measured your heart rate multiple times and for longer pieces? My vivoactive 6 is at times wildly inaccurate while erging: sometimes it jumps for a few minutes to 170 or 180 when I know I am doing about 120), and then comes back on its own to the correct values.

Morning Updates suggested improvements
i considered a Garmin vivoactive 6 because of the better morning report, but ended up going with an amazfit active 3..... it's good, but the morning report is useless

Why 600€ for the Cheetah 2 Pro ?
I never quite understand why Garmin is held up as the gold standard for long-term support. My previous watch was a Garmin Vivoactive 5, and from the moment I bought it, I barely received any feature updates. Look at the Vivoactive 6. Hardware-wise, it’s almost identical to the Vivoactive 5, but with

Had enough of Cardio Load: Ordered a Garmin!
I’ve been considering the VA6 but I’ve been wearing my AW lately and am just getting by with third party apps. I love the charge 6 but hate the app. I kind of wish Garmin had widgets but that’s not a deal breaker. Tough to spend $300 on a watch when I have a perfectly good AW even though it’s a seri

What's a good watch to get after the Forerunner 55? I like the Vívoactive 6, but I'm not sure if that is too much of a step up.

Thoughts on the vivoactive6 for my use case?
Not sure LTE on Garmin is going to be that useful for you or worth the price. And you’d have to find a different model if you want that. You don’t need LTE for music, you can load the music when on wifi and have it on runs. And then music will play on earbuds/headphones connected to watch via Blueto

Pixel watch 4
Yes. The 165 and vivoactive 6 are too small and the others are too expensive. The 265 will not get future updates.

Had enough of Cardio Load: Ordered a Garmin!
I’m super tempted to try the Garmin though. I used to hate the feel of the AW but found a band that I really like and it’s much better. I wish the VA6 had a bit of a better build. I also don’t love that it has the older HR sensor. Although I don’t put a whole lot of stock into that. Hope you have a

MiBand model and Sleep as Android tracking differences
I use a Garmin Vívoactive 3 during the day, but it is notoriously bad with Sleep as Android, so I was thinking of buying a used MiBand (2 or higher) for exclusive use with Sleep as Android. I can find a MiBand 3 or 4 for as low as 12€ , while higher models go for 25+€. Is there any difference in how
