Google's Whoop competitor is here, Fitbit Air starts at $99

Yes, weird. My Garmin Vivoactive 5 with an AMOLED screen costs £170 and lasts 10 days. It probably has better data insights than this as well.

Best smartwatch for health + fitness (long battery, all-in-one tracking?)

I also have a Vivoactive 5 that I like a lot. There aren't really a lot of good aftermarket apps, watch faces, etc. on the app store, but that does mean I'm not constantly paying extra for the watch. Also, Garmin does have a subscription, but it just adds some AI features that aren't very necessary.

Hodinky na šport

Tu sa pripnem - taktiež mám Venu 3. Skvelé hodinky, robia čo majú, výdrž cca 10-14 dní podľa trackovania aktivít a používania. Ja by som si ich však už nekúpil. Nie z dôvodu toho že je to zlý výrobok, ale treba sa zamyslieť, či potrebuješ volanie, tlačidlo na asistenta a podobné "featurky". Ja ich n

best sports watch for tracking pace and time on running and swimming training?

I really am pleased with Garmin. I know they're expensive, so i asked around to the runners in my family, and one recommended the Garmin vivoactive 5. Its on the cheaper side, but the app is really nice and you can build custom workouts based on pace, time, distance, HR. Tons of features I haven't t

Fitness tracking device

Garmin Vivoactive 5. I like it and I wear it 24/7. Garmin does some annoying stuff with locking out features on their entry-level watches. I can connect to a heart rate strap or a cadence sensor, but not a power sensor, and I can't have turn-by-turn navigation on my watch. What I do like about Garmi

Is it worth buying an expensive watch to track HRV and sleep to manage decisions?

You don’t need the venu 4. The vivoactive 5 and 165 will do this as well for much cheaper. As to whether you need it, that will be personal. I would say being a slave to your watch won’t be helpful. I actually like the overnight HRV, I use that together with how I am feeling to inform whether I shou

Garmin swim calorie burn doesn't make sense. I just don't understand this. On my "rest day" I burn more calories going slow then the next day working on pace and speeding up. Any ideas?

I had a 4s before and they made me switch to vivoactive 5 because they don’t make the 4s anymore but in my opinion the 4s was good for swimming and vivoactive 5 sucks.

Where is a good place to get a women's watch in Edmonton?

Garmin watches are good. I wear the vivoactive 5 for my day to day wear and my fossil watch on the weekend
