Is it worth the extra 152 EUR for the FR 970? FR 965 is 350 eur and FR970 for 502. I've been running over 3 months now and would like a Garmin watch with Garmin running Coach. I might do more hiking as well.

I can get a FR 970 for 502 EUR or fenix 8 for 590. Which would you pick. I am leaning to FR970 due to weight and Fenix for its look and build. I do have a ultrafit nylon band, would that drastically make the Fenix comfy to wear while sleeping?

I am a freelancer and use google workspace to be able to have meetings, email with custom domain and a drive to share files with clients. I also have a NAS but I use this for backing up my cloud drive. I want something that does these simple things well. Mail, calendar, online meetings, shared drive and if possible collab on documents. ideally not self hosted.

I was able to get a brand new SE 3 for 120 bucks, and while I was eyeing on a Garmin Forerunner 970 given the metrics I think the SE 3 is sufficient for running honestly. I'm wondering the metrics that Garmin offers such as training readiness, running economy, lactate threshold, could this be retrieved using a third-party app and if so which one? I understand I can also import my data to runalyze. Can runalyze do this as well? What app made you stay rather than switching to Garmin?

As the title says, any tips?

PS: I don’t feel tired waking up.

No hate on Garmin here. I've been running for over two months and my streak is still going. Haven't had a week that I did not run. I thought it would be time to get a watch to track my runs and check HR zones/Pace from my wrist rather than phone.

My initial thoughts were, beautiful screen, nice amount of data. It shows when I am ready to train, hell even running tolerance.

After a week I was like all this info, is it even accurate? I just listen to my body, I don't want to always check on this, it kinda made me anxious. so I decided to return the 970 also because I thought I'd wear the watch 24/7 but I most likely will not.

Again I am not hating or complaining, I am curious if anyone also experience it like this. Perhaps I am looking at it the wrong way maybe I can be convinced to re-order it :P.

Appreciate the input.

I have been running consistently for two months now, and initially I got a Garmin Forerunner 570 but given the price it is honestly not worth it. The amount of metrics might be cool but honestly at the end of the day you do what feels best.

At this point I just want a watch so it tracks my HR zone, pace and GPS. And I would not want to spend a lot on it as I will only wear it during my runs. Why I am considering an Apple Watch is because I like the health app and how Apple is not so intrusive with the data, at least to me.

What watch model would be a good fit for me? I have been thinking a used SE 3, anyone using an SE3 for runs and would it be sufficient in terms of battery for a half marathon (fingers crossed)

Thank you

I have been running for the past month consistently and I currently run 5K. I would like to improve not only the distance and pace but my knowledge in terms of running.

Are there any nice guides that explain basics of:

- some running metrics, for example cadence. I know what it means but how do I interact with it, how do I improve it?
- do's and don'ts
- something I have missed you think is important.

Thank you!

As the title says, should I pick a Series 11 or Ultra 3? I found a nice deal and can get the Ultra 3 for the same price as the Series 11. But I am worried about the Ultra 3 to be too bulky. I tried Garmin but can't get used to it so returned.

I want to use the watch mainly for running and health tracking. Goal is to do half marathon

For anyone who is considering getting a Forerunner. I got the 970 first.. then checked out the 170 and for me as a beginner to mid runner there is almost no difference in terms of metrics. To me it felt like after the 170 its all about extra smartwatch features rather than fitness.

Just a post to remind you to also consider the 170 and be honest with yourself 😇 garmin packed a bunch in the 70 & 170!

Right now I have a back-end project in go lang that consist of the following folder structure

main.go internal/

internal contains subfolders such as api, assets, configs, pkgs, server, and folder such as users, which has a users/store.go and store/users.go almost each table or data point has a folder with a store and name.go

in my server I have a http folder which includes handlers.go handlers_users.go, http etc. etc.

my main.go includes things such as :

us, err := users.NewService(l, mail, userStore)
    if err != nil {
        _ = logger.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("%+v", err))
        return
    }


    ts, err := tenants.NewService(l, tenantStore)
    if err != nil {
        _ = logger.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("%+v", err))
        return
    }
a, err := api.NewService(us, ts, userSession, pqdriver, mail)
    if err != nil {
        // _ = logger.Fatal(fmt.Sprintf("%+v", err))
        return
    }


    httpCfg, err := cfg.HTTP()
    if err != nil {
        return
    }


    cookieCfg, err := cfg.COOKIE()
    if err != nil {
        return
    }


    h, err := http.NewService(httpCfg, cookieCfg, a, userSession)


    if err != nil {
        return
    }

The question is, if I wanted to have a MQTT ingestion, should I add this in the same back-end project or should I create a new project for this?

my first thought is to not run it in the same binary as if the back-end is down the mqtt ingestor is also down..

Edit: since the ingestor would need to access some domains/ methods of the back-end I think it might be better to use the same codebase but either way have two separate binaries..

I have been running for the past month and I am enjoying so far that I always get excited to go for a run. I usually use my phone to start a workout but I am missing some information such as pace on wrist, HR zones, cadence etc.

I want to buy a watch that I will mostly use for running and maybe to wear everyday (but I am confident I will most likely use it for running).

I can get the Forerunner 165 and Vivoactive 6 for the same price. Which one should I opt for. From my understand the vivoactive 6 does not have barometric altimeter. I do see myself using Garmin coach to provide me with suggested running workouts and/or to improve my Pace. From my understanding pace suggestion is something that the Vivoactive 6 does not have.

Either way if you as a runner had the option Forerunner 165 or Vivoactive 6, for the same price.. Which would you pick?

I'm moving in to a temporary house for approx a year and I want to get a bed (+ mattress) Ideally I am looking for something that can be easily transported in case I have to move out.

All reviews I check about Ikea beds say they squeak. My budget is around 5-600 EUR bed size 160x200cm

I've also looked into metal bedframes from Amazon but people say they slide in.. looking for suggestions. Thank you.

I've never used a Helio strap and I'm considering buying one as I noticed it is available now. I would mainly use it for tracking my HR/sleep and when I am running. I know it does not provide GPS, I run with my phone so I can start the activity from the app.

My biggest question is: is RUN metrics through app sufficient insight. For me HR zones and pace is key.

Anyone using their Helio strap like this, would you recommend this approach?

Thank you

I am looking for a health tracker that is also able to provide with running insight, of course with the use of my iPhone as I understand screenless trackers do not have GPS.

It would be a watch that I'd wear 24/7 and use when I go for a run. So far I am interested in the Amazfit Helio strap.

Would the Helio strap be a good device for this and are there any screen less trackers you would suggest for my use case? I know there is the Fitbit air but at this point I have heard many negative reviews especially in terms of the Google App.

Thank you!

Does anyone have experience shipping a framework to frameworks repair center? My FW arrived at the repair depot 3 days ago and I have yet to hear something. On the website of letmerepair I can track the status and it still shows waiting for receipt.

I use the Framework for my business and am eager to receive it back. Anyone had to ship theirs? How long did it take?
