The new Garmin Edge 530 bike computer is now available for pre-order for a likely delivery in Mid May. The Garmin Edge 530 is a refinement of the non-touchscreen, Edge 520 Plus and is an unexpected addition to Garmin’s 2019 range of Edge bike computers. The Edge 530 could be described as Garmin’s “entry-level” bike…
The new Garmin Edge 830 bike computer is now available for pre-order for a likely delivery in May. The Garmin Edge 830 is a refinement of the Edge 820, perhaps even an evolution if I am being kind. It represents the most featured medium-format GPS cycling ‘head unit’ and has even more features that you…
This is the 245 & 245 Music information, following on from the Garmin Forerunner 945 Specs Tri watch info that’s just been published. Again, it’s all pretty much as expected, so don’t get too excited. Specifically it is worth noting that the 245 Music version seems to contain MORE functionality than just MUSIC when compared…
The new Garmin Forerunner 45 GPS running watch is very likely to be a cut-down 245 that slightly builds on the features in the existing Forerunner 35. Along with the Forerunner 45 will be the slightly smaller Forerunner 45S. I’ve used Garmin’s high-level feature chart to indicate in the black boxes which new features we…
The Garmin MARQ and Garmin Fenix CHRONOS represent the two top-end models from their respective Fenix lines. The Garmin MARQ (March 2019) is the top model for the Fenix 5 and Fenix 5 Plus series whereas the Fenix Chronos (2016) was the top model for the Fenix 3 line. Remember that there was no Fenix…

Garmin today announced their new heart rate monitor: HRM-DUAL It’s a more connectable, updated version of the old HRM3-RUN model and probably marks the start of new refreshes to many of Garmin accessories as we predicted way back in last year. Why this HRM? Why Now? Garmin’s HRMs are great. As are those of Garmin’s…
The Garmin Fenix 5 plus series is announced today and available to pre-order and shipping will start in late June/early July 2018.

The new Oura Ring marks a big step forwards for the Finnish activity-tech firm. The takeaway: Oura already make a ‘wearable tech ring’ that actually works! Indeed its sleep tracking is one of the best solutions available to consumers/athletes. This one should be good too….#BETTER I will follow up with a more detailed Oura Ring…
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…
Epson ProSense 367 – Specifications I’ve done a cut and past job on the official specs of the high-end device in the ProSense range and they are further below. I’ve been predicting (guessing) an Epson tri-watch for a couple of years but had given up hope. Hope has arrived. Like a London bus. Then TWO/THREE…

Only time, and Father Christmas, will tell if that’s true. Opinion I’ve included the Samsung Gear Sport Specifications below for reference but there are no surprises. You can have a click…
We’ve just seen the announcement of Polar’s latest ‘proper’ running watch – the M430. It’s essentially a refreshed and updated oHR-packed, M400. But how do they compare? What’s missing? And, instead, might it be worth going for the AndroidWear2.0, market-leading Polar M600? There is a comparison table further below. There are links to detailed, individual…

Here are the glorious specifications for the newly announced Garmin Forerunner 935. It’s the replacement to the 920XT but in a round watchface format.
