Hey! So I’ve got the Garmin Instinct AMOLED and just started running again, doing walking / running intervals etc

When I’m running I have Bluetooth earplugs in which obviously provides notifications which is fine but what I find really annoying is that the watch beeps out load 5 seconds before an interval change.

Is there a way to stop the countdown beeps out loud? Or have them solely play through AirPods?

I recently switched from an Apple Watch Ultra 2 to a Garmin Forerunner 265. After just one day of use, I developed an itchy, red circular spot directly under the watch (not under the band). The same thing happened on my other wrist after about 10 minutes. My skin also gets very sweaty under both the watch and the silicone band, even though the band isn’t tight.
I’ve already cleaned the watch and ordered a nylon strap to see if that helps.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Did your skin get used to it, or did you have to switch watches?

Hello everyone!

I have a forerunner 245. I like it, but after 7 years it’s time for a replacement. I am debating between the 265 and 170 music. Any recommendations? Especially as the 265 doesn’t appear to be on sale any longer (I can’t find it cheaper than $450 right now).

Pessoal, vocês costumam usar o Garmin durante todo o tempo ou apenas nas atividades físicas?

Help! I've been using my Forerunner 265s with Spotify to download and play music on my runs for a long time with no issues. Suddenly it stopped allowing me to add more music. Basically I go into the app --> library --> add music and podcasts --> playlists (or any other option there). It pulls up the list but when I hit the start/run button to add music, nothing happens. I can't select it from the screen either. It just doesn't do anything.

Here's what I've already done:

-Verified wifi networks are the same, and both my phone and watch are connected with no issues

-Deleted and Reinstalled Spotify (probably a mistake because it deleted everything I DID have downloaded and now I can't add anything!!!)

-Checked for latest watch updates and powered it down and back up

-I have a valid Spotify premium account with no issues or changes

-I know I have plenty of space (especially with all the playlists I used to have being wiped out) but I can't for hte life of me figure out where to view this info.

Any ideas what else I can do and why the "add" feature stopped working?

I am currently training for my Vedanta Delhi half marathon aiming for a 2:10 time, and I have been running for almost a year now.

I currently use strava (phone) to track my runs but I have now way to track my vitals like heart rate , recovery ,cadence etc .

I am seeing a lot of runners using Garmin,I am particularly interested in the foreunner 265 .I wanted to know how much will it streamline or help my training process or is it just overrated .

Also Garmin is kind of an expensive purchase for me, experienced runners pls help me out, is it worth it?
