Really enjoyed the format! Take my like, already! I actually went the other direction. Last week I had a 965 that (even on max brightness), I really struggled to see during a run, in normal sunlight conditions. It frustrated me so much that I ended up with the 955 a few days later.

Thanks so much Greg 🙌 if only it was that sunny here 😂 955 seems solid

"more expensive than my car" This is so relatable

Welcome back to YT Alex! 😆 good informative content. I’ve been using the Fenix 6 for a couple years now and have definitely got hooked on using the data that uploads to GC. Like you, I pay a lot of attention to HRV and Sleep Score. My oxygen and Hr data is sometimes iffy so I rely on my Garmin chest strap for more accurate hr data. I’m not a runner, but really like the display and touch screen that you showed. But I think I need another few years to justify another $$$$ for a watch! 😆 Cheers mate!

James! Thanks so much. I was expecting nobody to see this one 😂 you’ve got a cycling computer too right? Awesome metrics to have. Chest strap all the way, especially for cycling and running. Wrist sensor does an okay job but just doesn’t compare sometimes. Yeah you definitely aren’t out of date yet 😂😂

@@alexreader yeah I use the Garmin Edge 530, works perfect for cycling. Loving the new Edge 1050, but it’s way too expensive. Been doing more Zwift than outdoors this summer. Too blazing hot even at 5am..Hope all is well. Still waiting for that video about your island adventure 😆

@@hammmer55 yeah I’ve got the 520 I think. The newer ones look epic. Some clips from that adventure in this video! That’s probably the next one on the list 😂 forgot how to do it all so this was a good way back in ha

works for me. Ran 3 marathons and an ultra so far. NO ISSUES.

How’s was the battery for the ultra? Use music or navigation for that?

I've felt the same thing w.r.t it not taking strength training into account for training readiness! Wish there was some way for it to do that.

@alexreader Ай бұрын

Yeah it’s a shame because it makes up a a lot of training for some people. But I get that’s it’s a difficult thing to measure. Trying the best I can to capture everything on this watch though, I think it makes it more accurate. I often forget to start it for strength training haha. Did you have the same one?

pareil pour moi : garmin 955, fenix 7, garmin 965 :aucunes données anaérobie, pourtant je fais du seuil et des fractionnés avec une fréquence cardiaque élevée. Seule ma Coros affiche toutes les données. J'ai commandé une Suunto Race S (les capteurs sont différents, on verra si ça fonctionne mieux)

@youpigirl5731 Ай бұрын

J'ai également une Garmin 965, c'est celle que je préfère pour son écran et mes séances programmées. J'ai viré ma Fénix 7 (une horreur) et je garde une 2ème montre à l'autre poignet pour comparer ou pour utiliser le virtual partner (955). La condition physique me fait doucement rigoler sur ces montres, jamais aucunes données anaérobie, au pire ma FC maxi atteint 156 alors que je peux aller jusqu'à 177. J'ai également essayé le brassard cardiaque Coros, ça ne change rien. Je dois avoir des bras spéciaux. Bref, la condition physique sur ces montres est une douce rigolade, uniquement pour faire du marketing et charger un peu plus les écrans d'application et software. Si j'avais vraiment voulu une montre fiable, peut être la Garmin Venu ou Apple watch ?

I definitely think a chest strap is the best way to go for HR data

@BfSkinnerPunk Ай бұрын

somehow, those odd health metrics....they just seem fake or just useless and unreliable. Annoying clutter. I just want to know the amount of time that I have kept my heart in a proper cardio improvement zone. Heart rate accuracy is important.

@alexreader Ай бұрын

In which case you can save a good chunk of money and go for a lesser model and use a HR chest strap

@@alexreader True... was considering Polar watch with strap, but good lord.... there is a LOT of despair about Polar these days. Polar would seem to be totally plug and play with my Polar strap. For now, I use my phone & Polar strap, but my fitness routine can get me dirty and loaded with equipment....reaching for my phone to check the cardio situation is a huge hassle.
