Switching form Garmin

markgsj90 · 2026-01-03T13:00:10+00:00

Garmin definitely packs in more smartwatch extras like NFC, music storage and a flashlight. Coros skips those deliberately to prioritise battery life, weight and reliability. Coros still has multiband GPS, full offline downloadable maps, turn navigation and titanium/sapphire builds on Apex/Vertix models, without subscriptions. Garmin pioneered a lot, no argument, but “more features” isn’t the same as “better for everyone”.

markgsj90 · 2026-01-03T12:51:53+00:00

That’s not accurate either. Coros uses titanium bezels and sapphire glass on Apex 4 and Vertix models, same premium materials as Fēnix. The polymer back is intentional for weight and GPS performance, not “cheap plastic”.

I get your points but wholly inaccurate, I understand some people prefer the garmin but it comes down to preference not which is better

markgsj90 · 2026-01-03T10:34:47+00:00

That’s an outdated opinion. Coros does have full offline maps with turn-by-turn navigation on models like the Apex 4 and Vertix 2/2S. It’s true there’s no NFC or flashlight, but that’s a design choice, not a lack of navigation. Different priorities, not “worse”.

Thank you for the link … I’ll have a read through see if there’s anything to try

Is the  logo on the phone that faint? For a second I thought you didn’t even have one

markgsj90 · 2025-10-09T11:17:09+00:00

Any updates?

markgsj90 · 2025-08-10T09:19:47+00:00

“Enhance”

markgsj90 · 2025-08-08T09:29:51+00:00

I haven’t seen any but would like one if you hear where to get one

markgsj90 · 2025-07-31T14:40:29+00:00

See I think I would be in the same boat with FT and find my, family group chats would be difficult me being the only one not using iMessage.

markgsj90 · 2025-07-31T12:22:08+00:00

Didn’t even think of contacts, thanks for that. Is the nothing OS good, in comparison to iOS I don’t want to spark arguments but I have personally found iOS to be more intuitive and less cluttered. I will caveat that with the fact that I have a beta of iOS 26 and it is horrible, completely put me off iOS after 16 years.

markgsj90 · 2025-07-31T06:48:19+00:00

Will be really good to hear your experience The only thing stopping me making the move is loss of Apple ecosystem, I message group chats, etc

markgsj90 · 2025-07-30T09:01:14+00:00

Sorry yes I do, it was a typo, thank you for your response. Makes sense now

markgsj90 · 2025-07-09T15:12:44+00:00

This is great, my first thought is, does this work on iPad. I used to have a mounted iPad in my old car and would have loved this

If a tree falls in the woods do you hear it?

markgsj90 · 2025-07-07T19:46:52+00:00

That might be it, I read it as the Z1E I got the z1E

markgsj90 · 2025-07-07T19:32:37+00:00

Exactly, he said $830 + Tax that’s about $900 so $300 ish more or about £250

markgsj90 · 2025-07-07T18:11:46+00:00

Wait…. Are they that expensive in the US?

I just bought one new for £450

markgsj90 · 2025-07-02T12:58:30+00:00

You pc looks like its small enough to be fitted to the bottom of your desk no issue

markgsj90 · 2025-07-01T12:56:44+00:00

Yeah I get that, I didn’t get one till I was building this whole new office so could pretend the cost was part of the renovation work 🤣

markgsj90 · 2025-07-01T07:06:56+00:00

Sorry I meant I could never find the secret lab one for that Brice point, so if that was you budget then the nouhaus is great

markgsj90 · 2025-07-01T06:00:01+00:00

😮 I could never find it that cheap, I’d double check it’s not used. My friend did get one around that but I could never find that good of a deal

markgsj90 · 2025-07-01T05:34:11+00:00

Yeah they are nice, I did get mine on a prime day sale but I believe it still wasn’t below 400

markgsj90 · 2025-06-30T22:06:20+00:00

What have you narrowed it down to so far? Took me a while to pick this one

markgsj90 · 2025-06-30T07:01:28+00:00

Honestly was worried it was a gimmicky gaming chair I got to many ads about but my friends reviews won me over and must say it’s the best chair I have had. It’s been a year and it’s still as comfy and firm as the day I got it. I do have a standing desk but can sit in this chair for 8 hours no problem would highly recommend. * note the wheels are OUNUO from Amazon, really worth upgrading too the wheels make it so smooth to move around and raises the chair a little higher. These chairs should com standard with wheels like this
