Fitbit announced their latest wearable yesterday, the new Charge 4. While times are challenging for a lot of people, this could be fortuitous for Fitbit, with many people looking at ways to stay fit and monitor their health during isolation. When I first got into fitness, the Fitbit Ultra was my first bit of fitness…
Most runners I know loathe the treadmill, I quite like it and I feel it helps reduce my reoccurring issues with shin splints as I can control the pace and incline better than outdoors. However, when it comes to long runs, going beyond an hour becomes a mental struggle. Zwift has helped a lot for…
The Garmin Tactix Charlie launched back in early 2018 and it is one of the last of the Garmin devices to be upgraded.

Everyone has been expecting a Suunto 7 but I am not sure anyone had predicted that the new watch would be a WearOS device. I feel like they could have differentiated the watch with a different naming scheme as it is a little confusing to have a WearOS watch sat in the middle of two…

Garmin recently did a study that found new drivers admitted to feeling paranoid about making mistakes (44%) and feeling intimidated by other cars on the road…
Both the Garmin Forerunner 35 and 45 have seen some excellent discounts this year for Black Friday and now Cyber Monday.

Currently, the Garmin…

Things look set to continue, with some very early speculation via the5krunner with a list of devices that are due to launch which includes: Garmin Forerunner…
With the built-in maps functionality of the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and many other Garmin devices, you have the ability to plot routes and export them to your device. For watches, this is perfect for hiking, but I have used it when doing walks around a new city for sightseeing. Of course, on a bike,…
