The one big feature the Fenix 6 launched with is PacePro which allows users to set a pacing strategy that takes into account elevation. PacePro coaches you in real-time so you can slow and speed up your run as necessary. I plan to use this for the Chester Marathon on Sunday and I hope it will…

If you are on the lookout for a new watch you may be wondering how the Fenix 6 series compares to previous generations, or how it differs from the…
As a runner and cyclist, I went down the Garmin rabbit hole and now use the obscenely expensive Garmin Fenix 6. Recently I reviewed the Huawei Watch GT, and I am currently reviewing the Honor Band 5, which sits at the opposite end of the spectrum at just £30. This made me wonder what are…
As I use and write my Garmin Fenix 6 review, I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to highlight some of the features, as well as various tips and tricks to make the most out of your new £600+ watch. For existing Garmin users, a lot of these will be obvious, but I hope…
On Thursday, alongside the new Mate 30 series, Huawei introduced its latest smartwatch – the Watch GT2 powered by the latest Kirin A1 SoC which is also used in their new FreeBuds 3.

Now that Garmin has updated all its watches for the year, you may be wondering which is the best buy and how models are different. In particular, the pricing and features of the Vivoactive 4 and Forerunner 245 are quite close and if you are looking for an upgrade, or this is your first Garmin…
In just 11 days, Huawei will launch their next flagship phone range, the Mate 30 series. As usual, Huawei likes to announce a few more things along with this, and the Huawei Watch GT 2 will be one of them. Huawei has released a clip-on Weibo confirming this, but have not revealed much else apart…
If the £999 Fenix 6X Solar is too rich for your blood, and all you want is an affordable fitness tracker to keep track of your steps and basic fitness goals, then the £29.99 HONOR Band is hard to fault. HONOR today unveiled the HONOR Band 5, a stylish and practical accessory for those looking…
Following on from the Garmin Venu announcement, I can (and will) copy and paste the details of the Vivoactive 4. Functionally the two watches are almost identical, however, Garmin has used the Venu name to launch its first watch with AMOLED. This seems like a sensible move to me, allowing them to try out AMOLED…
It has been rumoured for quite a while that Garmin will launch an AMOLED based device. Some people thought the Fenix 6 or Vivoactive 4 may get it, but Garmin did something more sensible, and create a new range. For all intents and purposes, the new Garmin watch is the same as the just announced…
All those leaks I wasn’t too sure about, were pretty much accurate. Today Garmin launched a new watch to their line-up, the Garmin Venu. They probably could have called it a Vivoactive 4 Pro or something, as technically it is the same watch, but different display. I think it is a sensible move from Garmin,…
