A couple of days ago, Garmin launched its latest flagship bike computer, the Edge 1050. Following the trend of their recent watches, the Edge 1050 ditches the old low-resolution transflective display and has swapped it out for an LCD display. It is a shame they haven’t used OLED as it may save a bit of…
This article is a bit of a departure from my usual consumer tech reviews. Over the years, I have become quite obsessive about fitness, as well as my physical and mental health. I am a big fan of Garmin, wearables, and fitness/health tech in general. I love analysing all the data they provide and attempting…
Multiband Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a compelling piece of tech that Garmin and other brands have been rolling out onto their GPS equipped sports devices such as the Garmin Epix 2, Fenix 7 and the Venu 3. What is GNSS? Is GNSS the same as GPS? When it comes to location technology, terms…
The original Garmin Enduro launched in February 2021 and targeted a niche segment of endurance users that needed incredible battery life. It was positioned somewhere in the middle of the 6X models and the none Pro options. It launched at a lower price point than the Fenix 6X Pro Solar and the Fenix 6X Sapphire…
We already know that the Garmin Forerunner 955 and FR255 will launch at the start of June, but it is looking increasingly likely that the Garmin Edge 1040 will also launch then. Or at least in the near future. Recently, the5krunner was quick enough to get some leaked information off the Garmin forums before they…
It is a big year for Garmin; they have already launched two flagship products, the Fenix 7 and Epix 2 as well as the popular Garmin Instinct 2. They are also believed to be launching the Forerunner 255 and 255s soon, then the Forerunner 955, Venu Sq 2, Vivomove Trend, Austin and Instinct Analog. First…
This week, Polar announced two new watches, the Polar Pacer Pro and the standard Pacer. These are geared toward runners but should function well as multisports watches. The two watches shake up the Polar range, effectively making the M2 obsolete and reducing the appeal of their premium-priced watches. In theory, that’s good for the consumer,…
The Garmin Instinct proved to be a huge hit for Garmin. The Casio G-Shock design combined with a feature set similar to the Fenix at a more affordable price was very appealing. It is, therefore, no surprise Garmin were eager to continue this new line, and they have now expanded it to include a smaller…
Garmin is having a busy start to the year. We have already had launches for the Garmin Venu 2 Plus, Fenix 7 and Garmin Epix Gen 2. One of the watches people have been eager to launch is the new Instinct 2. The original proved to be a popular launch acting as a sort of…
Similar to my recent Fenix 7 post, Garmin has been a little overeager with publishing their product pages. The new Garmin Epix Gen 2 is live on the site but not currently available to buy. Price and Availability Considering the high price of some of the Fenix 7 models, the Garmin Epix 2 doesn’t feel…
[UPDATE] The Garmin Venu 2 Plus is now official. No word of the Fenix 7, yet. While I am hopeful that the Garmin Fenix 7 may get announced during CES 2022, what has been announced is the Garmin Venu 2 Plus. Garmin Venu 2 Plus Vs Venu 2 Specifications – What is new and what…
The Tacx Neo Bike has been reviewed by plenty of other sites that are more experienced and knowledgeable in this field than me. But I bought it, I like it, so I am going to review it. This is very much a luxury expense, there are much cheaper options on the market, and I know…
