Did you like your vivoactive? Are you keen to stay with garmin or are fancying a change?

I thin what makes a good watch is really personal. I’ve got a Forerunner 265s which I love (and hate) but there’s a lot of love for the Forerunner 45/55/65 series here too.

Garmin has a tool to help you choose here if that’s helpful…

Happy shopping!

Probably will stick with Garmin. Thanks for the link - will get on to that to see what it says.

I've had my Garmin Forerunner 45 for 3 years, very simple, very reliable. I had some issues at one point and the Garmin customer service was excellent.My husband has the 935 which is more advanced. You can install lots of additional apps from the Garmin app store. I prefer to keep things simple.

His watch tells you how hard you're working and how much recovery you need. Mine has the Body Battery.

Good luck with your shopping 😁

I used to have the Vivoactive 4S as well and loved it until it started going glitchy on me. I now have the Forerunner 255S. I was eyeing the 265 but this is a lot cheaper and just one version older. Love it! I’m sure the 265 would be even better with its amoled screen. Depends on ur budget.
