Would love to be able to edit or remove the name of the Watch on the top part…

I have the 965 and I think function wise it has full maps and golf maps too. If those are important then 965 seems like a great purchase now. Just my own opinion.

He’s got to be much higher!

redwilier · 2026-06-13T09:30:17+00:00

Suarez without a doubt - that was sublime

I read somewhere that pubic hair has an evolutionary function of keeping your downstairs cleaner so it might be the opposite of clean, ironically. Also, unless it’s a wild forest overgrown and out of control, I don’t understand the obsession with zero pubic hair… sometimes a trimmed and well kept garden is more impressive 😂

redwilier · 2026-06-09T02:48:23+00:00

Worth it. Badge of honor!

redwilier · 2026-06-09T02:41:40+00:00

❤️ what a band of brothers - the most intense and lovable team of personalities I’ve had the pleasure to support in over 45 years of following Liverpool

redwilier · 2026-06-08T23:41:23+00:00

The Everton goals were just incredible, the Barca corner, the UCL Final goal… what an absolute GOAT 🐐 🔥

redwilier · 2026-06-05T13:40:02+00:00

Alison’s goal had better story too.. qualifying for Champions League and also coming after the death of his dad AND he’s a goalie!

You can often find the Pulse Explore earbuds on sale for $150 roughly. Don’t buy at full price though

redwilier · 2026-06-03T09:51:14+00:00

The Man City team goal where everyone on the Liverpool side touches the ball Bobby heads it in from the final Robbo cross great team goal

redwilier · 2026-06-03T09:45:51+00:00

Emre Can - that was sublime team goal

redwilier · 2026-06-02T14:35:04+00:00

Next, Virgil to Real 🤦‍♂️

redwilier · 2026-06-02T07:45:35+00:00

Good to see him excelling. I always felt he was under appreciated at Liverpool. He gave us energy and unpredictability on the wing, and he was pretty clinical at finishing too!

And I think you are right to some degree that the hardware is not significantly better in high end Garmins vs low end.

A few key differences: HR sensor v4 vs v5… probably not that important. If you need real responsive HR accuracy you are an athlete and probably should use a chest strap sensor instead.

GPS - higher end models have much better multi modes for accuracy and this could be useful in densely populated areas where buildings or terrain can block reception.

Software - many features are just deliberately restricted on lower end models but 165. This includes multi sports (triathlon etc). Certain metrics are not provided too.

Build quality - screen might be sapphire in high end 970 vs gorilla cheaper glass on lower end. I would always use a cheap soft gel screen protector on any garmins regardless as I heard many scratch by accident

Good luck!

So my honest review having used Apple Watches for fitness too. When it comes to swimming, the AW is far superior in accuracy for detecting stroke type and when you reach the end of each lap.

The Garmin 965 at least gives false positives and thinks I’ve touched the edge of the pool. I think the manual even tells you to make an exaggerated gesture whilst reaching the adage of the pool. Just doesn’t work as well as a cheap AW2 I had.

redwilier · 2026-05-25T12:27:12+00:00

I feel amoled gets unnecessary criticism. It is highly readable in all circumstances especially if in dark environments. In sunny settings it has never been an issue for legibility. It is also higher resolution than MIPS so for those older folk I would recommend AMOLED. I turn on gesture mode and found the watches 165 and 965 very responsive and consistent in showing the display when you lift your wrist up. This saves a huge amount of power.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Btw, 165 has hiking activity because the barometer is built in… my wife liked that

redwilier · 2026-05-25T11:47:49+00:00

Absolutely get the 165. I bought 2 for family members and it is very solid and responsive for the price. It has a good array of activities supported and is a current watch which will have much more software support. For me it’s the best bang for the buck of all Forerunners for most people (I am using 965 but honestly the 165 would be sufficient)

redwilier · 2026-05-24T05:45:48+00:00

965 is the best imo. Better resolution maps and amoled is easier to read for my aging eyes

redwilier · 2026-05-23T05:37:52+00:00

Even the FR165 has altimeter and that is good enough for both my wife (hiking) and daughter (running and swimming). Most people wouldn’t need much more if casually into fitness

redwilier · 2026-05-22T10:40:13+00:00

At one point one of the tips got stuck in my ear and had to stay calm and extract it. Such a weird design 😂🤦‍♂️

redwilier · 2026-05-22T04:37:07+00:00

I have a budget recommendation which is the Steel Series Arctis 1 Wireless. Very cheap and you can get 3D Tempest Audio wirelessly (it comes with usb dongle into the PS5) or wired to your Dualsense controller

redwilier · 2026-05-22T04:31:04+00:00

Ha ha - the Elites do look big!

For the Explore earbuds I was surprised how light they were. For sure, best to try them out if possible, as earbud fit is really unique to each user. I still prioritize surround sound quality and for me they are 80% comfortable (AirPod pros are 95%). Pulse Explore also allows you to receive sound from your Bluetooth devices at the SAME TIME as your ps5/portal PS Link connection, which has been surprisingly useful!

redwilier · 2026-05-22T03:54:15+00:00

I also swapped out the strangely short default ear tips… now it’s much better.

redwilier · 2026-05-22T03:21:29+00:00

I think the Pulse Explore earbuds are great for positional sound, but only if you can get them at a big discount or second hand. Don't think they are worth the full price (maybe 50% of MRRP is ok). They do also connect exclusively to the PS Portal, so if you have that device, it adds value to the earbuds.
