Tried a Pixel after years on iPhone - didn’t expect how good it actually is

Replace your Apple Watch with a Garmin that fits your needs and you’re gucci, I switched to Pixel 9 Pro XL + Garmin Venu 3 and I’m never going back! Charging the watch once a week is magical.

Deinfluence me: Apple Watch

Go for Garmin and you’ll never regret. I have an apple watch na binigay ko na sa anak ko, ang bilis malowbat. Venu3s pala yung pinalit ko same price lang nung applewatch ko. Mas madami pang apps

Every time they say “But you need to charge it…” - this how I imagine Garmin users

I switched from a series 5 AW to a Garmin Venu 3 and the week long battery wasn’t worth the hassle of losing the features of an Apple Watch. I still took it off to shower and often would put it on the charger during that time anyways because otherwise I would just forget and it would wind up in low

Hodinky na šport

Ja som chcela kombináciu smart hodiniek a športových hodiniek, mám Garmin Venu 3 a som veľmi spokojná. Super na šport (pravidelne fitko, beh, bajk, prechadzky) a batéria vydrží vkuse 7 dní. Sú aj vizualne pekné a dobre sa nosia.

Apple Watch faces outshined by rando’s on Facer, but…

If you like these, you’d probably love a Garmin device. The Connect IQ store is filled with data heavy faces, tons of them free as well. I don’t think I could go back (previously had a Venu 2) because I really love the tight integration, but I miss the battery life! The Venu 3 has tempted me, but I

MIP lovers: what would you do when Garmin quits making MIP screen watches?

I'd switch to Coros.Frankly I feel like I'm tolerating Garmin, lately. Every single one of their new watches comes with less battery life than its previous models, the Fenix lineup is getting ridiculous, they didn't even bother making a small size MIP F8, the Venu 4 is now a 2 buttons only watch, al

Mechanikus vagy quartz, buta vagy okos, milyen órát hordasz?

Garmin +1. Venu 3, próbáltam többfélét az évek során de mindig visszatértem a Garminhoz. Egyszerűen csak működik és még a töltéssel se kell szórakoznom nagyon

Saved 500€ with the GT 6 Pro… but now I understand where it went

If you care about exercise and do sports, Garmin is the way to go. You can get Venu 3 or Vivoactive 5/6 or Forerunner 255/965 for not too much money. Or maybe the Instinct 3. For Huawei, it looks nice, and it's enough, but for nothing serious. I was a user of Huawei Watch GT3 and I was happy, until

is upgrading from samsung w7 to garmin worth it?

For what it’s worth I am an extremely casual runner, hardly ran at all last year but training for a half this year. I switched from an Apple Watch SE to a Garmin Venu 3S two years ago because I was sick and tired of my Apple Watch pausing when it lost my heart rate on runs. I love my garmin, even du

This didn’t go as planned

I did the opposite: I switched from a Garmin Venu3, whose connected features I didn't use (they didn't work well and I didn't miss them), to my Apple Watch. I'm not a serious athlete—I walk, use the elliptical, and hike. I don't miss anything compared to Garmin; I find the software much more user-fr
