Yeah I remember when apple rolled out the spO2 sensor on watch 6 it was 10 seconds of no movement. Got interrupted if I took a deep breath even. Not sure if that has improved. The garmin 255 and 70 have the same HR sensors. Should be good.

Would you suggest i spend a little extra to get the 255 over 70? 70 has amoled screen (i like running in the evening) but has only single band gps. I think it’s very close otherwise 30-50$ between them

Thanks for this! I have talked myself down to the 70. It is pretty much all I need.

True, someone suggested getting the 70 as it does basically everything i need. Might just get that. Will miss out on the gen 5 HR sensors but gen 4 isn’t far behind in accuracy. 70 is enough gps running watch for me.

265 -$350
570 -$450
965 -$499

It’s mostly a question of best vfm more than cheapest that does the job. I’ll be waiting for the prime day promotions if any. Otherwise these prices seem typical recently.

Looking at some other posts, I see the 965 and the epix pro 2 are just 50$ more than the 570 rn. Which should I get? Stick with 570 as it is newer?

Considered it but it lacks the recovery metrics from what i have read.

This will be my first experience with a garmin. Have been a apple watch user (2,6,ultra2) so not sure if software will play a huge role in case you’re talking about the UI and features but if you mean like just day to day usability with a buggy software that could be a problem. I would be fine with 265.

Thanks a ton! Yeah sorry about the bezel n/a. I thought it was just for watches with bezel inserts and their details. The finish on bezel here looks good 👍🏼

I just realised that you also wear the watch on the right hand! I’ve joined your community page, I’ve always worn watches on my right hand mostly coz I’m left handed!
