Verdict The Garmin Forerunner 165 delivers some excellent features for runners in a package that’s easy to wear and long-lasting. With accurate heart rate monitoring and GPS in tow, too, it becomes a superb option for beginners and intermediates – even if adding music support ensures some of that value is lost. Pros Superb AMOLED […]
Verdict The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a solid and more affordable AMOLED sports watch alternative to Garmin’s pricier Venu, which might not match it for smartwatch smarts, but still offers a great experience all round. Pros Sharp AMOLED colour screen Solid sports tracking modes Well integrated smartwatch features Cons Watch UI still needs some refining […]
Verdict The Garmin Venu 3 is a superb premium smartwatch. It’s aimed less at the fanatical athletic performance crowd, and instead offers the best interpretation of wellness data I’ve seen on a Garmin so far, and a great alternative to Oura and Whoop. However, most features are available on rival Garmins such as the Forerunner […]
Verdict The Garmin Fenix 7 Pro is another Garmin outdoor watch with big features and a big battery life, but there are few reasons to grab it if you already have the Fenix 7, or you can pick up the non-Pro 7 for less. Pros Still great battery life Added map features Solid sports tracking […]
Verdict With the Garmin Forerunner 965 it really is all about the screen because with that aside, it’s offering the same features as the 955. If you’re desperate for a top-end Forerunner with a lovely colour display and that same great sports tracking and that still manages to deliver good battery, then you’ll be very […]
Verdict The Garmin Forerunner 265s is a great multisports watch with an even lovelier display than the 255, but that screen and some other software extras do come at significantly greater price. Pros Vibrant and high quality AMOLED display Solid sports tracking performance Still strong battery life Cons It’s more expensive than 255 No cheaper […]
Verdict The Vivomove Trend fits in well with Garmin’s other hybrid smartwatches, offering a nice design and useful fitness, health and smartwatch features but it feels too close in price to the Vivomove Style, which offers more battery in watch mode and an AMOLED display. Pros Great look Well integrated digital display Impressive array of […]
While the Garmin Instinct Crossover offers a good core sports tracking experience, it doesn’t deliver the perfect marriage of smart and analogue watch design and is a rare miss from Garmin. Pros Generally solid sports tracking Good battery life Larger battery than Instinct 2 Cons Analogue hands not a great addition More expensive than Instinct […]
The Garmin Marq 2 is a much nicer modern tool watch than the first Marq but if you’re hoping that high price also gets you a boatload more features than Garmin’s cheaper Fenix and Epix watches, then you’re sadly out of luck here. Pros AMOLED screen elevates design from from first Marq Great sports tracking […]
The Marq Gen 2 is certainly a better smartwatch simply for the addition of a high-quality colour touchscreen to match that already luxurious exterior. High-end lookThe Grade 5 Titanium bezel gives it a distinct feel Clever featuresIncluding a Jet Lag Advisor and more Good screenThe Colour AMOLED Display is nice to look at Introduction The […]
