Watch This!
It’s finally time to replace my old Garmin. He completely died on me on a run a month or so ago and so I implemented a “three strikes” rule. Three deaths during runs/walks = replacement.
And so after the third strike occurred, I decided to order a newer, slightly fancier Garmin: the Forerunner 165!
This thing has a touch screen, which is pretty wild, and a highly customizable watch face. This is what I currently have, but I’m sure I’ll change it like 200 times.
Hopefully he’ll last a long time!
New Garmin!
So I’ve had my Garmin Forerunner 35 since…2018 I think. A good amount of time, at least. And during that time, it’s been used a LOT and has been exposed to all sorts of very cold and reasonably hot temperatures.
As expected given how much I’ve used it, it’s starting to wear down, battery-wise. It’s getting harder to make it through a longer walk, and sometimes it just freezes up and needs to reset when I try to start a run/walk.
So my mom and I went to Best Buy and I got a (slight) upgrade!
Meet my new Garmin Forerunner 45. He unfortunately does not have the lime green band like my 35 did, but he’s got a color display and does a few extra things over my old version.
It was SO TEMPTING to get a bigger upgrade (and the Apple Watches were tempting as well, haha), but all I do is run in the city and thus can’t justify a fancier watch that has all the trail maps, etc. built in. Plus, this one really does do everything I need.
Woo!
