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…
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…
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,…

It looks like the wearables hall will be buzzing with activity at IFA this year based the rumours and leaks that have been revealed recently. The Misfit Vapor X is the only confirmed watch, and they are owned by the Fossil Group so it should be at the show this year. Most companies will be…
Another day, another Garmin leak. This time from serial leaker Roland Quandt who is generally regarded as very reliable. This leak backs previous information the Vivoactive 4 will arrive at IFA.
