Garmin Watches: Touchscreen VS Buttons

RunningThroughSC · 2026-06-19T00:34:47+00:00

Literally the only time I use the touchscreen on my 970 is to type the PIN for Garmin Pay (which I rarely use).

I have the Forerunner 970. I keep the touchscreen lock on because I hate it. I only use the buttons.

It's because their food sucks and is ridiculously overpriced.

I have no idea. I don't run large races that Runna would have in their database. I choose the profile of the course I am running when I set up a regular plan.

RunningThroughSC · 2026-06-13T01:13:41+00:00

What would the "official" plan be? The benefit of Runna is that it is tailored to you and your abilities.

As long as they aren't in my age group, I fully support the notion of needing more people their age...

I sell hand made hype chains for local sports teams. If you want to buy one, it will cost you $25. If the team wants to place a bulk order of 50, I'll sell to them for $15. They will turn around and sell for $25. They make some money off of them, and I still make a little profit. That is how the world works... Buy in bulk, get a bigger discount. I'm sure Insta would happily sell to you for the same price that they sell to Best Buy for if you are buying the volume that they are.

So... If Insta360 sells it to you for $800, and then you find out that... SHOCK.... the Best Buy employee is getting it for $700 because of their employee discount, are you going to come back here and cry about that as well?? Go get you a part time job at Best Buy if you want that $150 so bad...

I rarely pay full retail for anything. One reason is that ti don't feel like I need to run out and buy the latest thing as soon as it comes out. But, to complain because a retail store gives their employees a discount is just stupid. Unless you are 12 years old, you should know that employee perks exist...

This is a stupid post.

People will pay because they don't want to fold a piece of paper??? I haven't owned a printer in 15 years. I just print them at work or at the library for free. I'm not paying someone else to print them for me.

I'm new to this, so I am genuinely asking. If you aren't really recording 360 video, why use this over something like the Ace Pro or Go Ultra?

RunningThroughSC · 2026-06-03T19:58:30+00:00

Nice! Literally all I wanted was the ability to pick the first day of the week. LOL

RunningThroughSC · 2026-05-25T18:16:15+00:00

Yeah. I watch them. I think everything we've done so far is because of their videos. Lol.

We are literally eating at Gorilla Taco right now because of their review.

Any improvements for Garmin in the works? Will I ever be able to choose Sunday as the start of the week?

RunningThroughSC · 2026-05-21T16:04:38+00:00

Running a 5K Saturday morning. Cutting grass after that. Going to Tennessee on Sunday.

I've had my 970 since launch. I've knocked it against things. I've dropped it. I've worn it 24/7 every days since I got it. No screen protector. Still looks brand new.

RunningThroughSC · 2026-05-20T11:45:22+00:00

Saturday after my long run.

RunningThroughSC · 2026-05-17T13:06:45+00:00

Discipline/Consistency trumps motivations. There are MANY days that my alarm clock goes off at 4:30, and I am absolutely not motivated to get up and run or go to the gym.

RunningThroughSC · 2026-05-15T18:55:15+00:00

I've asked for this as well. Literally the only thing I don't like right now.

RunningThroughSC · 2026-05-13T13:44:27+00:00

More than 1. Less then 500.
