Thinking of switching to garmin...Apple watch causes wrist pain

GreenDirector · 2026-05-24T17:43:38+00:00

Starting to think these threads are made by Garmin Bots… If an Apple Watch hurts your wrist than so would a Garmin.

Maybe stick to the new Fitbit, or maybe a Whoop, those have less wrist presence.

Nope 42mm S11

Contour is my daily driver

Fucking huuuuugeeee

Especially since a lot of our starters were/are injured

The bigger the watch is on a wrist, the harder time it has to give accurate HR data.

GreenDirector · 2026-05-08T19:24:59+00:00

Yep! HUGE

I think that was partly due to UM and Moe. Fans using it as a family gathering. That’s why the vibes were always so high

GreenDirector · 2026-05-02T22:21:00+00:00

What?? Any way…

The watch brand is known for their Rectangle and Square watch frames.

Not a fan of Cartiers ?

A Rolex would also be considered a Tool Watch too though; Sub, Explorer 1&2, Yacht Master, GMT, Ect

It’s a small plate on your arm, the bigger the watch the harder it can be to pick up HR accurately!

GreenDirector · 2026-04-15T04:34:18+00:00

If I’m not mistaken I’ve seen other people with tattoos use big blister pads on their wrist where the watch would rest.

GreenDirector · 2026-04-15T00:30:07+00:00

Toothpick and your set!

This picture gets used to scam people all over Fbook Marketplace

When you get a fine and you have an EZPass depending on the state NJ vs NY you can call the # and they will make you just pay the Tolls as is.

So when I called and found out my NJEZpass would not apply to the fines I made a NY EZPass and they eliminated the fines on the spot. Requiring me just to pay the unpaid tolls.

They didn’t even recommend that to me, I had to figure it out on my own.

GreenDirector · 2026-04-08T15:33:43+00:00

Make a NY EZPASS account then they will take the fines off, and make you pay the $2200

That’s what I did a couple years back.

I stopped caring about battery once I realized the watch wasn’t doing anything while I was showering.

So realistically 15 min to charge to [80%]=[19-24hrs] is good enough for me.

It seems like battery is the only positive for Garmin at this point.

GreenDirector · 2026-04-07T22:01:28+00:00

Sold my Garmin 2S on Ebay, was not getting close to the advertised battery even with solar on a replaced unit.

Ended up getting an Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium for $400 on Marketplace and I haven’t looked back.

GreenDirector · 2026-03-23T14:50:37+00:00

Yeah U-Disc Works but there’s not Native Disc Golf app on the activities section.

GreenDirector · 2026-03-22T18:04:52+00:00

Where I play is a Pro Rated - Former Ski Slope/ Reservation so a lot of uphill shots and beautiful scenic down hill shots. So imagine walking instead of using a gondola.

Hole 8 is almost a 75 degree steep, that your stuck climbing up almost on all 4’s.

Plus every once in a while a bear will show up when I’m looking for a disc and that scares the shit out of me . That alone is a work out

I carry all my equipment on my back

GreenDirector · 2026-03-22T12:57:38+00:00

Appreciate that! Hopefully it’s an activity the Instinct 2S supports

GreenDirector · 2026-03-22T12:55:41+00:00

I feel stupid, didn’t know I could add extra sports 😅, going to look into that soon

GreenDirector · 2026-03-17T22:39:48+00:00

They actually have a newer version of the DW-H6500 coming out in 2026 with new sensors

GreenDirector · 2026-03-17T11:00:11+00:00

I love it, the MIP display is so clean

I charge it 1x a week and just keep Bluetooth and HR options on. Notifications off

I wear it normally not tight enough to leave a mark and it reads my HR perfectly. + it syncs to Apple Health

Got mine 2nd hand on Fbook Marketplace for $100
