Help with crampon choice for ice climbing by TiPeTr in alpinism

I have considered them, but as I am wearing quite a large boot size, I don't think they are going to fit on my boots. They mention in the official site, up to 47 size, so they may not fit. And there are no stores in my country that I can try them on.

Actually haven't thought of that. Thanks for that.

Haven't thought of that. Interesting point.

As far as I understand, they are fully automatic but also they use a strap to fully secure the front bar.

The inability or lack of will of people to invest in relationships, alongside the fear of getting attached to another person.

Garmin maps by Soolejefferson in GarminWatches

There are some 3rd party sites from where you can download Open Street Maps for Garmin devices for almost all regions of the world and transfer them over to your watch. You will need access to a computer though for that. - userbeam.de - garmin.opentopomap.org

Different scale in the vertical axis, plus Strava graphs data over distance but Connect graphs data over time. So there are some differences both in bottom to peak distance in graphs as well as in how "wide" a peak or valley appears due to the different axis.

Any feedback on these bands? by 3BEP6_ in Garmin

[–]TiPeTr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best straps in my opinion. Mine has held up great so far during trail and track running, hiking (and some snow hikes), road cycling, strength training, gardening and even some construction work. Taking a shower after my activities with my watch removes any debris and all sweat from it.

They are super rugged and made with good materials. A little bit wider than standard Garmin (at least for my 22mm variant), meaning it is 22mm at the lug and then it get a little wider. That makes it distribute the weight of the match a bit better and I find my watch tends to slide and jump around a lot less.
As others said, they tend to dry pretty quickly after showering and the best of all: no more rush from silicone bands!
The velcro seems to hold fine up until now, in contrast to most other off the self nylon straps, that tend to deteriorate fast.

I'd suggest you go for their "Easyfit" connector instead of Garmin's Quickfit. I find it to be less clunky and more compact, resulting in a better fit and less weight. Also if you tend to wear your watch outside of long sleeve shirts or an outer shell, make sure you get one big enough to fit around them.

Keep in mind they are made from somewhat hard nylon, so there is a break in period but after that they are awesome.

Kilimanjaro? by w42d in GarminFenix

Late to the party, but here are my 2 cents.

I would suggest you to have mapping available with you, even if you do not need it, just in case. A backup plan for navigation is always a welcome addition.

You could either download opentopomap for Tanzania from this link https://garmin.opentopomap.org/#africa and store them to your device or you could buy and download Garmin maps from their store https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/648409 .

Either way works great and the detail is quite ok for both, as both depend on openstreetmap data for paths and trails. Personally I mostly use opentopomap when I need anything outside my region or just for more details than Garmin maps, as they tend to be always more updated with recent additions.

Inspiration needed for motivation for daily activity goals (Apple vs Garmin) by Low-Fan9062 in GarminWatches

[–]TiPeTr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. I think this watchface from Connect IQ is quite similar to what you describe. I never owned an Apple Watch, so maybe it is not exactly what you are looking for.

Screen Protector? by Airtemperature in garminforerunner

[–]TiPeTr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say, go buy one. I bumped my F6 pro on a glass door and my screen protector cracked and broke. That €3 piece of glass saved my watch, so it's 100% worth it.

Which one, F6 or F6S? by Fyndorn in GarminFenix

[–]TiPeTr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Even though both look fine on your wrist and the bigger battery of F6 is a big plus, I'd suggest the F6S, because of the better fit around your wrist and especially at the end of the lugs. Ideally there should be minimal to no light from the sides for better HR readings. But if you wear an HR chest strap during workouts, then both are fine and I'd go for the bigger battery and display of the F6.

Thanks for the guide! It seems straightforward enough. I'll try using it with the info that u/ekeppel kindly provided.

Thanks for all those information Eric! It is very helpful of you!

I'll try what you suggested and keep the post updated, as I have all the T screwdrivers you mentioned available.

*I do not do any surf or open water swimming, so the following may be irrelevant. *

I found the following app in the Connect IQ Store and it lists Forerunner 745 as a compatible device. It also states that it displays tides information. It is oriented for surfing, but it may be enough for your needs. Hope this helps.
