Garmin reviews and discussion

I have worn different iterations of the Forerunner over the years and currently have the 265S, which is a slightly smaller version of the 265. It is perfect for my small wrists, and I love the updated AMOLED screen. There are always far more features than I am able to use, but I love tracking my activities and then analyzing the data. During triathlon training, it has been helpful to be able to create a workout ahead of time, load it onto the watch, and then have it preset and ready for training. I think the Forerunner series is great for those who want more features than your typical watch but aren't looking to spend at the highest level.

Have had Garmin since the first Vivoactive, and I love them. I have the Forerunner 255. Will continue to use this brand for my fitness activitiy.

I have & love the Fenix 7S Sapphire Solar Edition -- love this watch. Watch/App UI is not as good as Apple Watch, but performance is better.

Had a GPS device by Garmin. It was accurate and worked well.

I have the Garmin Venu which replaced my Apple Watch. I absolutely love it! It's versatile on how to use it and all the different capabilities - many more options than most smart watches. It can be difficult to use from time to time but gets easier as you use it.

I bought a Garmin Swim2 for what I consider a substantial amount of money. I bought it in part because it was advertised as allowing you to customize the size of the pool you use. That turns out to be true only if your pool is one of the set sizes and otherwise only if it does not include any half units. The pool where I mostly swim is 18.5m, 20.2 yards. But it's not possible to set any decimal points. For the amount it charges, Garmin could make this truly customizable. I would not recommend this. You can probably find something less expensive.

I've used 3 Garmin GPS units over the past 20 years or so, and have upgraded each time to a more useful product each time. I find them each easy to use with a good support structure and good range of choices for each use. I will continue to buy Garmin products as I find a need for them.
