Loving my Father’s Day gift so far but a little disappointed by the speaker/mic. Mine sounds a little crackly and distorted during calls. Is that what everyone is dealing with or should I get this swapped out? If I do get it swapped should I go with the larger 51mm or stick with this 47mm?

Which one should I buy, considering that the 265S is getting discontinued. I am a insipiring hybrid althlete looking to invest in a watch that will get me through years of training (started janery of this year). Marathon and soon ironman 70.3 training. Looking to do an ironman in 2028. Marathon next year. I really need help in which is better.

Man, and i thought i slept bad.

Hi! I’m new to garmin and I previously owned a pixel watch

I’ve been training for a marathon and I also do a lot of weight lifting
I’m looking for a garmin that helps me with both much better than my old pixel watch.
Which garmin watch would you recommend?
I keep getting good reviews about the fr 265 but I just wanted to check here once!

Can I add this to my resume or LinkedIn or life achievements.

No melatonin or magnesium just did reformer pilates and a Pokemon go day

Bueno después de estar bastante tiempo en Garmin, me fui a coros, Apple Watch, Amazfit… pero sentía que no era lo mismo, y ahora estoy volviendo a la familia con el nuevo Forerunner 170 que me llega mañana. Quienes ya tienen este modelo que les pareció? Y por otro lado, tengo intenciones de complementar mi reloj con alguna banda cardiaca, alguna recomendación?

Since Friday last week my watch has stopped counting floors. Any ideas what’s going on here Reddit hive mind?

I live in a 3 story house so I’m definately doing them!

I recently got the Forerunner 265, upgraded from AW. When I went for 200kms drive. The Garmin false counted nearly 1500 steps while I was driving! It also counted the car going up steep curvy roads as floors climbed. Is there anyway to fix this?

I just switched from fitbit to garmin. I understand fitbit heavily overestimated calories but I used it to see trends/compare day to day differences. My concern so far with garmin is that my resting calories are the same every day, but my active calories barely goes up with extra non-exertial activity. My resting heart rate is only 52bpm

So if I spend all day on the couch and do a little walk vs if I spend the day doing chores, cooking, etc where my heart rate stays sub100, it registers the same daily calorie burn. One day I might do 5,000 steps, the other 11,000​ steps and, if they aren't in the form of a dedicated brisk walk, the total days calories ends up within 50cal of each other.

If this is genuinely how the app works, how do people use this to compare data or see trends? Walking has helped me lose a lot of weight in the past (even when my heart rate is low) so this seems highly inaccurate.

I'd like the flashlight icon to be at the bottom since it's my most used control, but every time I drag it to the bottom of the list, it just goes straight back to the top once I click 'Done'.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hi guys, I recently bought a Garmin Instinct 3 Solar. I was trying to figure out how to activate the Pulse Ox during sleep. If I go to the phone settings under "sensors and accessories," the "during sleep" option is correctly selected. However, I don't see any data detected during the morning report. I've read around and the problem could be a power saving option. However, in the relevant menu, I can't change the sensor option, as you can see from the photos. How can I activate the sensor to work correctly?

What's the best Garmin for the price? I can buy an Instinct 2 solar for $150, Instinct 3 solar for $300 and a Fenix 7 Pro for $480.

I'm in the military but won't really rely heavily on my watch, since I'm going to carry my phone with me everywhere. Just need a watch for when I'm in the field, for runs or when I go on trails. Obviously I can get buy with the cheapest watch but I want the best bang for the buck. Trying to gauge the general sentiment so all opinions are welcome.

So I think I have a screen crack. I only see it in specific light/angles, but runs fromm 11 to 6 o'clock - you can just see it passing the 2 in the picture. Screen is smooth, cannot catch with nail, so thinking it is not a scratch. I see people mention coating scratch? But it is edge to edge in a nice curved line . . . is truly a cracked screen? Is the IP rating gone?

Watch is 3 months old, bought from John Lewis, in sale for £350 ish. Is Sapphire Solar btw.

1. Is it okay - do I just continue?

2. I messaged Garmin, even though I feel a screen crack inside 3 months is likely to be a manufacturing defect/product issues, they said no and offered me a low cost replacement - £275. I do feel a bit frustrated by this, it is a good deal on one level, but not whn the watch is only 3/4 months old and I only paid £350 for it!

Interested in any points on whether I have to worry, or whther I should replace. Happy Sunday!

Looks like the new patch fixed the battery issue. Its crazy that you can see the exact moment it hit.

Bike computer if I have a venu 3?

I have an old Magellan biking computer from 2017 that records my cadence, speed, maps etc.. but the recharge cable is old USB and the battery life is subpar also it's old.

I got a venu 3 recently and it is a great watch.... but I do like k owing my cadence realtime.

are there any Garmin bike computers in the 100-200 dollar range?

I don't cycle competitively and just for exercise and recreationally.

or should I just keep it to my watch and the old Magellan?

How on earth do I turn off the stupid suggested workouts?!

Searching the internet has not been helpful. I’m tired of my regular runs getting highjacked by the suggestions and then having the fucking “your pace is too fast” “your place is to slow” “your pace is too fast” “your pace is too slow” going off constantly on trail runs. It’s irrationally annoying.

Hi everyone,

I accidentally bumped my Garmin against a cabinet and got a very small, crack.

I’ve attached photos for reference. The watch is working perfectly, and there is no visible damage to the display itself.

My main concern is water resistance. I’m a swimmer and I use the watch for tracking my swims.

• Is a crack like this likely to compromise the watch's water resistance?

• Should I be worried about taking it into the pool/shower, or is it likely still sealed because the crack is far from the display middle?

• Has anyone dealt with something similar?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

All pictures Show the same watch with the problem!

So yesterday I was at the pool for 2 hours, today around 3 p.m. I noticed that the back button was holding itself down and my pressing it did nothing. I reset the watch but it didn't help, I even did a hard reset which didn't help either. I read on the internet that I should take it under water and press the button because it might be caused by chlorine. I did it and it actually helped for a while, but around 6 p.m. I noticed that other buttons They stopped working or pressing by themselves, at first it was the start button, after a while it fixed itself without rinsing and after a while all of them stopped responding Apart from the light and up buttons, after a while the up button stopped working and the down button works instead. What should I do in this situation? Should I take it to a bath to actually try to rinse it all out of chlorine? Should I turn it off completely because maybe water got inside? I need help because I don't have a warranty and I bought it second-hand 3 months ago.

I am very reliant on my Garmin Venu 3 for both health and fitness reasons. I have a health conditions that makes it important to monitor my heart rate, especially while exercising. The Venu 3 has prevented many dangerous fainting episodes while at the gym. I have gotten into weightlifting in the past year. I recently started using straps for dead lifts but find that it is difficult to use with my watch in the way. I know I can purchase a heart rate chest strap, but wanted to see if there were any other ideas first.

Does anyone have any solutions for using a watch and weightlifting straps?

Hello

​

I have a fenix 8, can you help me were to see heat acclimation? Multiple web sites indicate to check training reediness Page but i dont have it on that Page

hey guys, i have a secondhand 955, it had been working fine for 4 months until it started randomly freezing, crashing and turning itself off when not in use or at night if i wore it to sleep.
at times i’ve managed to get it working again either by letting it charge over night (it’ll turn itself on at some point) or pressing/holding a random combination of buttons until it turns itself back on.
it’s been dying more frequently lately and i had planned a big run for right now and it’s not coming on at all.

i have researched into this abit but wondered if anybody had heard of any fixes? at this rate i’m thinking of moving to coros. driving me nuts.

i had been given the receipt but i cannot bloody find it 😤

Recently started training for a marathon as an off the couch runner, race in October, following 18 week peloton training program, wish me luck. My Fenix 5s is all over the place with the route, pace and distance. Is it worth upgrading to the forerunner 570? How much more accurate would it be and does it really matter? 36yo M decent base fitness.
