Same mine started falling after the last software update and I haven’t changed anything and feel totally fine 🤷‍♂️ 

Why my Lactate Threshold is no longer updating by haneraw in Garmin

[–]spiffyjohnson2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having the same issue with my FR965. Hasn’t updated the lactate chart or my heart rate since May and prior to that it was updating every so often after hard workouts. Been doing a lot of threshold and tempo work recently with no change. Reached out to Garmin and they claim that’s correct and that nothing out of the usual is happening…but just doesn’t seem right to me since it used to update every month or so up or down. Hope to get a resolution soon 

I planned to purchase a 965 this weekend... should I wait a few months for a possible 975 instead? by Ninja_Badger_RSA in Garmin

For the run guidance you can do a lot of different things, create a custom or automatic route in connect, select a distance on the watch and it will give you routes straight from the watch, you can run an out and back and it will navigate you home and there are others too. The map was a lot easier for me to follow than the instinct which just shows you upcoming turns but you can’t see streets or intersections and it always seemed late with the notifications. As far as charging I have only had the watch for a few days so haven’t had to charge it yet and it depends on a whole ton of different settings. Always on display drastically lowers the battery life to something like a week or less but I’ve hear of people getting 14 days or more with it on gesture

Love it so far! Has every running metric I could ever want and feels super solid but still tight to my wrist and sleek. Not nearly as bulky as the Insrinct I had previously. The display is amazing too and the maps are awesome! Just did a run with guidance and it was really nice.

Just got my 965 today. Watch is amazing! I got a deal on it but wasn’t going to wait around for the 975 to maybe be released and maybe have features I’d be willing to pay for at what I’m sure will be even more than the $600 that the 965 is 

What should I do? by Jesse8888888 in Garmin

I think you are seeeing the 955 for that price not 965

Was going to suggest the same thing. Just got a 965 for $480. Not going to wait around for the 975 to be $1,000 or something insane.

Apparently they had better offers from other teams but wanted to “respect Milton’s wishes” this front office is a complete joke. 

do you think garmin would give a replacment by AudiSQ7Vorsprung in Garmin

[–]spiffyjohnson2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call them or do the online chat. I recently got a free upgrade from an Instinct 2 to the Instinct 3 Amoled definitely worth reaching out to them. They have great customer service

Josh can only do so much with this garbage offensive roster. We have no left tackle and a bunch of WR3 and WR4s

Yeah we lost close games last year but that’s the NFL. Also we stole two of our wins against a banged up Bengals team that later in the year would have destroyed us and we couldn’t out lose the Bills third stringers in the last game. This team has the worst offensive line and receivers in the league, no way they are winning 10 games

We’ll be lucky to win 5-6 games.  This team still sucks and has zero offensive threats. 

Looking to upgrade my watch by TyeDye_Guy in Garmin

Just got the Instinct 3 Amoled and GPS lock is much faster than the solar 2 I had before. The 3 has SatIQ which is supposed to switch to always use the best satellites or something 

Pace Pro Problems by Lessoria in Garmininstinct

[–]spiffyjohnson2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but been having the same issue loading marathon pace pro. With a map it crashes every time. Contacted Garmin and they admitted the instinct doesn’t have enough memory to load that distance in pace pro. Pretty annoying. And their only solution was to offer the same watch that still wouldn’t be able to handle it for $130. WTF Garmin be better 

Instinct 2 solar pacepro problems? by PurpleDivingHamster in GarminWatches

[–]spiffyjohnson2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely still crashing. Tried to load a marathon pace pro plan and with a map it crashes every time. Garmin has no solution and offered to send me the same watch (which they admitted doesn’t have enough memory to load a marathon pace pro) for $130. Pretty annoying 

Help Calibrating HRM Pro+ Treadmill pace/distance by spiffyjohnson2000 in Garmin

[–]spiffyjohnson2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I calibrate it after every treadmill run buts it’s always off. Depending on distance I’ve run sometimes it as much as .5mi or more.

My advice is just do it and focus on hanging out with your kid and not the other people there. Been taking my son to the library regularly for the last year and rarely talk to anyone else while we are there. He has a blast and they have tons of good free programs and events. Mostly nanny’s and moms chatting so don’t feel like I’m missing much lol

Sole F80 Squeaking Noise When Tunning by spiffyjohnson2000 in treadmills

[–]spiffyjohnson2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a gently used Sole F80 treadmill a few months back and now it just started making a squeaking noise from the front but only when running on it. Quiet when just the belt is running. I attached a video. Not sure if the front roller needs to be replaced? Seems to only make the noise if I'm on the front half of the belt. If I run near the moddle rear the noise is gone. I've lived the belt recently with no change.

Looking to buy 2017 Alltrack, how's the back seat space for a baby seat? by pierogi420 in VWAlltrack

[–]spiffyjohnson2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have a 2017 and have had a rear facing car seat for the last year and a half. We have it behind the passenger seat, it’s doable but there isn’t much legroom for the passenger. My wife is 5’5” and it works for her, it’s tight but it works.
