More activity options please
I recently upgraded from the Forerunner 35 to the Venu sq. I had an Apple watch for a minute and quickly discovered that it couldn't do what my garmin did, so the Apple Watch went back and the Venu sq was purchased. Still trying to decide if i love the Venu Sq, as the Forerunner was so much simpler to use, but the Venu provides so much data that i love, like stress tracking, O2, etc.
I really wish the Venu had more exercise options like HIIT or "functional"strength training. The strength training option from Garmin is frustrating with the reps, just simply time my workout.
I wish setting up my walk/run intervals while running was simpler than going into another menu. Why isn't that option there when i go into run? I can't seem to figure out how to pause a run. Does it auto pause? What happens when i have to wait at a traffic light?
Can i scroll through my text messages. Some just show half a message. Why can't i scroll down? The watch just isn't very intuitive. I'll keep reading the manual, but i think improvements could be made. If there wasn't so much other data that i like, i would be tempted to go back to my Forerunner. 🤔
Garmin in General
I recently purchased a Garmin Forerunner 235, and I enjoy everything about it! It is so useful. It is lightweight, tells you your heartbeat, your VO2 max, recovery time, your aerobic training, and more. I didn't realize all of the features I wanted were on the watch (there is no swimming, but I don't really care). The app is what makes the watch so cool, and it makes it easy to see your mileage. Also, there are badges that you can get, and it makes the workouts feel like a game sometimes, trying to earn the badges. My mom now really wants one of these watches. I guess the downsides are that the watch dies after around three days, with you recording a workout session in all three days that last for around an hour. I don't know how accurate the Garmin watch is, but I'm just glad that the features are there, because if I wanted more accuracy I would need to go and make myself uncomfortable for the day (heart rate while sleeping, deep and light sleep tracker, heart rate while running, etc). Sometimes it's uncomfortable after wearing the watch snug for a couple of days. The "move!" Thing on the watch is a little annoying, but the pros outweigh the cons by far, and you even might be able to disable it.
All in all, this is a great brand, and if you are obsessed with health and working out, I would recommend this brand for a lot of people. I got my watch on Black Friday for $150, and I don't regret it at all.
Watches are great, app is good
I use the Garmin Fenix 6 and I could not recommend it more. I've ran with it each day for 3 weeks and have also done kayaking and biking. I have only needed to recharge it twice, and the only negative has been a slight lack of tracking under even a few trees.
As for the app, I would give it 4.5 starts if I could, but have given the benefit of the doubt. All in all it provides very useful information about your performance and overall health, but is slightly lacking in User Interface as opposed to other activity apps. The graphs are often annoying because I have not found out how to choose a point on the graph to see a value, you can only see the trend roughly plotted and guess (this goes for paces from your runs and also things like your heart rate throughout the night). I also find the calendar view largely useless, especially when compared to something like Apple's activity rings. Don't get me wrong though, the data Garmin provides is second to none, but largely a function of which watch you have purchased.
In summary, Garmin provides as accurate and useful of info as any company does in the sports watch realm, but could stand to improve accessibility and aesthetics for some of that data in the app.
