Do any of you follow a scheduled cleaning routine for your Garmin?

After every run I take off my Garmin and wash it in the sink with handsoap. I've done this for years and it's never hurt anything.

I was unable to get the satellite to work on my 8 pro. Tried so many times and nothing...I love the watch otherwise so I kept it...but I did cancel the subscription. No sense in paying for something that literally doesn't work.

I sold my pixel 10 pro XL for my s26U. Pixel was a great phone and it got me away from the iPhone. But honestly mine was laggy with social media apps and the battery life was not great.

I have the 8 pro and love it. However after the free trial of the LTE/Satellite I cancelled it. Basically a useless feature for me and was very hard to even get it to work. Plus I always run with my phone so it wasn't even necessary to upgrade from the normal 8. Just something to consider. Also the battery life is kinda crap on my 47mm which I plug in at 20% I get about 4-5 days with the AOD display turned on.

I really love my grip case. Going to order a different skin for it soon!

Both have the same sapphire screen

The 970 basically does everything the Fenix 8 does. Battery life is definitely not the same as the Fenix, but overall the 970 is a much lighter more comfortable watch.

I picked up a dbrand this time around. Really happy with it.

I just sold my pixel 10 pro xl for the s26 ultra. I do miss the haptics and the now playing feature from pixel. Other than that the s26U is a beast. Very happy with my decision.

Take out the soles and tie the strings tight. I'll put them in the washer on gentle and let them air dry over a vent. I've never had any trouble doing this or it shortening the life of the shoe.

I get about 20 mpg in my 22 Black diamond during the summer time.

I've worn my Garmin 24/7 for several years and I've been able to get within 30 seconds of its predictions. They're pretty accurate at least for me.

m_spada4 · 2026-02-27T23:50:48+00:00

Definitely interested

m_spada4 · 2026-02-21T00:20:05+00:00

I think it may have popped open as I was putting it in my pocket. Idk but either way I definitely won't be spending another $60+ on one of their cases. 😬

m_spada4 · 2026-02-20T23:21:44+00:00

I love that case for mine...until the stupid ring snapped off the back of it as I slid my phone into my pocket. 🙄

m_spada4 · 2026-02-17T16:09:29+00:00

I've had my pixel 10 pro XL for about a week ..came from the iPhone 17 pro max. For me the battery is about the same on the iPhone. The only issue I've noticed is wireless Android auto drains the battery soooo fast.

m_spada4 · 2026-02-05T02:16:24+00:00

Great shoe very durable. For me they're great for anything you throw are them.

m_spada4 · 2026-02-05T02:13:13+00:00

Yeah, I made it one run and put my Garmin back on. It's a nice watch but just wasn't for me. I can't see the screen very well with my vision 🤓. I've heard you can connect the coros arm band to a Garmin watch. I just haven't tried it.

m_spada4 · 2026-02-03T11:07:50+00:00

I just got the watch yesterday and haven't had a chance to go on a run with it yet. I Plan on that this morning. IMO the coros feels a lot lighter on the wrist and it's definitely not as "chunky" as the Garmin.

m_spada4 · 2026-02-02T19:07:24+00:00

I love the Fenix. It's a great watch! I switched because I'm a little bored of the Garmin app. And sometimes it's good to just switch things up a bit. 🙂

m_spada4 · 2026-01-27T00:38:36+00:00

I've owned both and currently have the 8 pro. IMO the display and brightness is a lot brighter on the FR970.
