• RE: Burns from Garmin Vivoactive 3

    So maybe you're only susceptible…

    I heard due to the leak, Garmin is going to suspend the 945 release indefinitely and just release the 955 sometime around August. The watch will be triangular with a velcro strap option for those that may have skin reactions to the metals used in their…
