Hello!

Any garmin wearers here please? I’m using an Apple Watch series 8 which I love, but my run club chums are seriously getting me interested in body battery and other features. 965 is coming out on top.

I’m entering a training block for my second marathon (in spring) and wouldn’t mind splashing out as a little incentive :)

any recommendations or things to consider?

Oooh thanks everyone. Having a quick refresh of my 255 knowledge. Does that come with body battery? Trying to work out the most significant difference between that and my apple 8 series which i do love…

I have a 255S which suits me fine. I don't think I'd use any of the extra features enough to justify the price and they seem mostly to be gimmicks anyway. DH had the Fenix 7S, and honestly they're isn't any difference in how you'd use apart from his being a bit shinier. I like that mine is cheaper and a bit more robust feeling because I don't worry when I might bash it if I'm doing something outdoorsy.

Following as my DH wants one and isn't sure what to go for!

I've a Venu 2s. I love it and find the Garmin app good too.

Also have the Garmin Scales which are brilliant.

I've just switched from Apple to garmin forerunner 255 last week, I'm loving it. Best thing is not having to charge it everyday. Today I decided to actually do the run it told me to and I had a lovely run.
I love that it recommends what you should do based on up coming events and recovery. It's fun playing with the stats. I decided the next one up wasn't worth the extra money for the screen which is essentially the only difference.
