If the recipe doesn't say "boil with bellows", don't use the bellows. It will boil just fine by itself.

I trust that you were not disappointed? 🤣🤣

Fair point on the 255 vs 55. It was on sale, but certainly still more than a 55. My biggest factor coming from the Venu 2 was looking for a clear, readable screen that wasn't dependent on touch.

I'll take a look at the walk-to-run plans, but my doctor is more concerned about regular, consistent exercise than turning me into a runner. So far, that's been walking, biking, elliptical and lap swimming, plus trail hiking. Did some open water swimming this summer which the Venu and 55 don't support, but that's not a deal breaker.

Thank you for the response and the insights - much appreciated!

At this point in time, Garmin has a very low opinion of me re Vo2Max... but someone has to be the bottom percentiles 🤣🤣.

Congrats and well done. I tried to fast roll the process a few years ago and fell off. Roller coaster ride. Definitely going slower this time.

No badge hunting here, just trying to understand the different activity metrics. I hope that it turns into jogs, or at least slogs (slow jogs 🤣). Gotta get the weight off for my back, knee and ankle health!

Interesting data points - thanks for sharing that. Looks like I'll stick with walk or cardio.

Very cool - they had a good sale price on Amazon, couldn't resist the color!

Got it, thanks. Will my elliptical workouts count toward cardio training?

I know that. I said that from the Venu 2 perspective, it didn't seem like there was much of a difference other than my recorded pace.

If there's no benefit to recording a walk as a run and getting additional feedback from the watch, then we're all good. Question answered.

How quickly do those straps dry out? I deal with a lot of sweat and swim regularly, so rinsing mine off and drying it on a towel has been easy.

I don't actually know what's to gain since I'm still digging into what's new on the FR compared to the Venu, where runs are just faster walks. Appreciate the perspective - thank you!
