• RE: For those fenix 6 owners considering a fenix 7 but still undecided...

    I do actually have a Stryd pod but have found this (perhaps oddly with some recent firmware updates?) to sometimes give inconsistent distance and instant pace readings (although this should not at all be impacted by watch firmware?) and then…
  • Frustrations with Garmin Coach

    I recently ended a coaching program early as I wasn't finding it challenging enough and wanted to move from a 10k program to a half marathon one.

    I don't understand why these programs aren't a bit smarter at understanding your current activity. I…

  • RE: Low anaerobic TE

    Have you read it? It clearly states that for the type of training you are doing 2 is the likely outcome. To get any higher you need to be doing sprints or 400m repeats at high intensity.


    Yes, and while I don't normally do short distances, I've never been…
  • RE: Fenix 5/5S - 4.16 Beta Release

    This beta has proved disastrous for me. The barometer was working just fine with 4.1 except it was thrown by swimming. The beta suggested a fix for this, so I gave it a go. The result: the barometer is now entirely useless. It varies by 100s of metres…

    First, yeah, that battery life is horrendous for anyone but the very short distance runners.


    OK ... given that the FR235 is only good for ~5 or so hours, it is very interesting to see the Garmin apologists describing a similar 5 hours of Apple Watch…

  • GPS accuracy issue OWS, with files & example

    I've been using Fenix 5X Sapphire for over three years now. Since this summer many friends and I have suffered problems with too short distances recorded in Open Water Swimming.

    Garmin's advice: syncing with connect, 1s recording, hand above water…

  • RE: Does the Fenix 6 support turn by turn navigation in courses?

    I create a triangola path around my house. A little more than 100m per side, so that it has full time to alert me before the turn which is always more than 90° (also my previous 645 did not alert for simple bends on a path).

    Try making…

  • Failed to resume navigation after going off course

    This morning I loaded a 25K circular course into my 1040 that I’d planned with Connect Web. A short way into the course I deviated due to a flooded road. The 1040 asked me if I wanted to re-route and I said “yes”. When I rejoined my original course I…

  • WHY IS GARMIN INGORING ALL OUR CONCERNS ABOUT LACK OF ACCURACY HITTING INTO A NET??!!

    SERIOUSLY COME ON GARMIN!!!

    Issues around the lack of accuracy when hitting into an outdoor (or indoor) net have been raised constantly since launch. Software version 4.0 fixes nothing and people are still facing the same issues today that they faced on…
