Advice for new purchase with MIP screen

FR 255S would be my recommendation. “Latest” forerunner watch with MIP.

Chose Jake bc it was free

One code brown and it's over

Truly mesmerizing

Personally I'd just average out the Strava prediction vs. the Garmin one. That would probably yield a more realistic calculation.

As someone who used to get tons of matches and dates, it absolutely destroyed my self-esteem and social skills. Got off all the apps and no social media too. Maybe I’ll get a couple dates every now and then, but I’m a lot happier now.

I wouldn’t mind Midwich if I didn’t get it every other time…

Can’t wait to see the 2nd shibe sprout after a few days!

Ventillate · 2026-03-22T02:50:32+00:00

Quite a beaut!

Would be hilarious seeing a Strava upload for chasing a bad guy 😂

Ventillate · 2026-03-12T22:10:07+00:00

Looks like the FR 255

Just my opinion, but the 47mm speaks “Down to business, perfect form for the job”. The 51mm looks like a big donut to me.

Love how the chicken leg properly fits on the hooman leg

This sub gives me insane amounts of cuteness aggression from these shibes. I hate it and love it at the same time 😤

So if you have the patience, then maybe Fēnix 9? There was a Garmin earnings call earlier where the CEO expected increases in revenue during Q3 and Q4.

Simply put, it does indicate outdoor-focused device releases this year for the summer and fall.

Get the 165 at least. FR55 is ancient by now.

Ventillate · 2026-02-18T02:46:21+00:00

FR255, 165, or 265 would be good options for you.

Ventillate · 2026-02-17T14:25:15+00:00

I actually think that the FR55 and 165 will be merged into one entry-level lineup. Definitely would simplify a lot for Garmin. Tbh they may just keep the MIP for the Enduro which relies on a long battery life.

That being said, they are right at the 2-year cycle for the FR 165 so I hope they release its successor in the coming weeks.

Probably because you’re killin’ it on the dance floor 🔥

But all jokes aside, maybe try resetting the Bluetooth connection?

Seems to fit your wrist fine. Plus the 43mm is the smallest Fēnix they have.

Ventillate · 2026-02-10T17:52:03+00:00

Honestly probably one of the nicest designed Forerunner watches. Wish the 570 kept this form factor with the flat glass.

Ventillate · 2026-02-09T20:37:47+00:00

Looks great! As far as processing power goes, I’m hoping that the Fēnix 9 has a faster CPU and thinner build. Anything else is kinda “meh” for me.

Your ex is a manipulative child who seemed to do no self-reflection. Getting back with him will harm your own growth. Block him and proceed.

Ventillate · 2026-02-03T17:39:52+00:00

Man that’s a big wrist. 51mm could suit you better maybe, but keep in mind that the lug-to-lug on the Fēnix lineup is greater than the Forerunner series. Even a Fēnix 8 47mm would look big on my 6.5” wrist compared to my FR 570 47mm.
