Garmin keep a keen eye on competitors’ prices. They also keep a keen eye on competitors’ product launches. I would imagine that their ‘Competitive Intelligence System’ scoops up the rumours and trade-chat of new products far better than I could ever hope to. Let’s speculate that there could be a new triathlon watch (or two)…
The 935 is getting GALILEO too Last week we saw that the Fenix 5 ORIGINAL range are getting GALILEO GNSS, first in beta before being rolled out probably in July. Garmin * Fenix 5 Original * GETS GALILEO NOW – beta for 5, 5S, 5X and Chronos But as of NOW (Wednesday 27 June,…
‘Cat’, ‘Pigeons’ … throw one amongst the other and we have something interesting on our hands. Garmin have just announced a new regional (Chinese) variation of the aging Garmin Forerunner 235 (review ed here). It’s the Garmin Forerunner 235 Lite or 235L.

Definitive Guide To The Garmin Forerunner 645 Review of the Music Version with Data Accuracy Charts, Discussions of all the onboard First Metrics (that part is co-authored with Firstbeat), Close Look At the 645’s Numerous Drawbacks, Detailed Specifications & Comparisons
Just shy of £400, you can now get your hands on the Forerunner 645 Music from Amazon in the UK. It’s been more widely available in the USA on Amazon for a while Still at that price, using a British saying, this must be the best thing since sliced bread. I’m not so sure. Maybe…
What features do YOU want on the Forerunner 935 (existing) and Forerunner 945 (future product)
Whilst the Garmin Forerunner 910XT was the first proper triathlon watch, it was soon replaced by the originally named Garmin Forerunner 920XT. I think it’s fair to say that we see relatively large numbers of the 920XT sill adorning various triathlete’s wrists, much less so with the 910XT. Then Garmin went and made a new…
Garmin’s best-kept secret is available now. The Garmin Forerunner 645 is also available as an optional MUSIC version, the 645m. Opinion It looks to have everything a running watch could ever ‘need’. Some of the functionality like contactless payments and music will take a few weeks/months to properly roll out. Personally I would prefer a…
It’s pretty obvious that the new Forerunner 645 Music has, errr, music. But is there anything else to tickle your running fancy? Let’s do some detailed comparisons and compare to other Forerunners. I think it’s interesting to compare the ‘proper’ run-focussed Forerunners ie the 235 and 630. The 735XT and 935 just have all…
The Garmin Forerunner 645 is listed on Garmin’s website with the detailed specs BELOW. The specifications are broadly ‘as expected’ several weeks ago. A formal Garmin announcement is not now likely until around the time of CES2018. This looks to me like the basic physical hardware of the Vivoactive 3 (with more buttons and no…
In this Garmin 935 Review we briefly look at why the 935 is widely heralded as the Best Triathlon Watch. Garmin 935 Review – An Introduction You can quite easily complete your first triathlon without a sports watch of any sort. You can quite easily use pretty much any sports watch for a triathlon,…
Ahead of the imminent arrival of the Garmin Forerunner 645, Amazon are offering the Garmin Forerunner 630 for as low as $160 (refurb). Both of these Forerunner 630 prices will not get any lower before Christmas. New deals will be added in THIS LINK which is also in the menus above.
Leaks of some rather pretty images of the impending Garmin Forerunner 645 Music have finally surfaced. As there is a 645+Music then so there is a 645 sans music. There may be other functionally different variants too. We shall, no doubt, see soon enough. Will there be cellular streaming of music like the Apple Watch…
With dcr confirming the approximate release date of Garmin Running Power (GRP) as “… around November 22nd, which is the date that the next version of Connect IQ (2.4) is released to the public“. Then you can pretty much bet your bottom dollar that a product announcement will follow suit at a very similar time.…
By mid-October we should see the new Garmin forerunner 645. That will be the optical HR replacement for the top-end Forerunner 630 (r. Oct 2015). We might even see it by mid September. We might also even see it released in parallel with a Forerunner 245. That would be nice. Please note that this is speculation…
Back in 1812 when Garmin released the Forerunner 305, I was young and fast and the world was a generally better place. OK, putting the Napoleonic Wars to one side, it really was a better, faster and more accurate place. Or so it seemed. Garmin’s 205/305 were, at the time, a very popular watch…
Garmin Forerunner 935s arrived at Power Meter City (PMC) in the USA on 1st MAY. But now FINALLY, as of 24Jun, you can pretty much get them anywhere. In the UK, Wiggle’s exclusivity seems to have ended and the first few have found their way onto amazon. There’s only one left as I write this…
Garmin Fenix 5 Review DETAILED | Fenix 5X, Forerunner 935| 5S Accuracy Comparisons Mapping and In-Depth Discussion of Features **BEWARE PITFALLS**
Polar and others do a good job of teasing their new products so I thought, “Hey, I’m going to tease my review”. Here’s the draft summary of what I will hopefully publish towards the end of this week. I’ve approached the review in a different way to normal. Like with the SPARTAN SPORT review, I’ve…
