Garmin G2 Watch

[Adah Orhenkowski]

Theother end of the adapter is a standard USB-C port, meaning, if all else fails, you can find someone, anywhere to loan you a USB-C charging cable for an hour. Or, buy one at any hotel/airport/gas station. USB-C cables/chargers are as ubiquitous as soda, but Garmin charging cables are not.

My Garmin charging puck and these pucks no longer slide smoothly into the watch charging port. Most times I spend 5 minutes wobbling the two together before a reliable connection is established and charging begins.

Yup, see my comment above. A new cable works fine at first, then becomes really unreliable when the pins start to wear. Then you have to do a bunch of fiddling with the watch contacts to get it to connect (pencil eraser, brush, alcohol). None of that would be necessary if Garmin used inductive charging like the competition does. It does seem like a way for Garmin to sell more of their overpriced cables.

I have an issue on my 945 lte where the temperature does not show on the watch face until I go to the weather widget. Once I go to the weather widget the temperature shows on the watch face for a little bit but then disappears again. This did not happen until the last update.

Hello; that data is coming from the weather widget on the watch; when you go to the weather widget does the weather widget have to reload? If yes, are you on iOS or Android? I've left my watch on that watch screen for a couple of hours and haven't seen this occur. When it occurs is your phone within range, and does your phone have cell service if it does?

I am on Android, I have my phone on me while this is happening and my phone does have cell service. When I scroll to the weather widget it shows no data for about 1 second, then once it loads it shows the correct weather data and I can go back to my watch face and it will have the temperature showing correctly. After about 10 minutes the temperature clears again and I just have to repeat the process of scrolling to the weather widget and having it load. I did not notice this happening until after the latest watch update.

Does anyone know where these settings are hiding? There's nothing in the Connect app for "System" or "Time" or "GPS", nor is it in the device itself. I literally cannot follow these instructions as given because the prompts don't exist on my deivce or phone. Help?

Every London Marathon runner is given a bib that comes with a built-in radio frequency identification chip, or RFID, which gives each runner an official time. Thereafter, that time is considered as a qualifying time for other races, such as the exclusive Boston Marathon, or in some cases, even world records.

As such, that chip has to be accurate, verifiably so, in order to ensure runners have an accurate measurement of their race time. And so that chip is the perfect reliable metric against which to measure two of the best smartwatches money can buy, while also evaluating how the popular run-tracking app Strava treats the information from my Garmin watch.

My Garmin recorded my total distance as 42.81km. Although the race course was just over 42.2km (or 26.2 miles) in length, Garmin shows the distance I actually travelled, including weaving in and out of other runners and taking wide corners. While this might not sound like it would make up much extra distance, it adds up over four hours.

One thing I noticed is that even though the Apple Watch Ultra is able to see where I am with pinpoint accuracy, when I dive into my splits (the time I spent over each kilometer of the race), Garmin gives me the numbers down to the nearest 10 milliseconds. Apple, in its customer-friendly approach, provides the data only to the second. Maybe this is where my extra 0.4km was registered. The Apple Watch also underestimated my heart rate by 117 calories (less than half a slice of pizza) compared to the Garmin watch.

Honestly, the difference is minor, especially over four hours of effort. Discovering which of the two is more accurate is difficult; but for the average person running 10km on a Saturday, the variances between the two watches are small enough to chalk them up to algorithmic differences.

There are a few other changes: distances are always stored in meters on devices and then shown on Strava in the athlete's preferred units. The first number Strava gives you on its summary is Moving Time, not total time, so it discounts any quick stops.

However, it quite regularly messes up at the gym, in quite a striking away. When gripping the handles on some lower-body weight machines, the Forerunner 165 has registered my heart rate as half what it actually was. If your heart rate is in the 40bpm range at the gym, you need to think about your routine some more.

One of the parks I run in does have some fairly dense tree cover that, to my slight surprise, has caused the Forerunner 165 some noticeable issues. The watch will report my pace dropping in certain sections, and has done on multiple occasions, without an actual drop in running speed.

This is one category where there really is noticeable separation between the two watches. The GPS capabilities are similar, as both use multiple global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to track your location. Each watch is a hell of a lot more accurate than, say, tracking a ride on Strava on your phone. When I wore both at the same time, the total distance and elevation gains of my rides and runs were nearly identical. You can also upload routes to both devices, and your watch will give you turn-by-turn directions.

After a typical gym workout, the Garmin gives me a summary of the effort with my max heart rate, average heart rate, and calories burned. Then it shows me how much time I spent in each heart rate zone, gives me my training status, and tells me how many hours before I should work out again depending on that training status. After a typical gym workout, the Suunto tells me how long I worked out, my average heart rate, then shows me the max heart rate, calories burned and recovery time. Both watches work seamlessly with Strava, with activities uploading automatically (you have to connect the watches to Strava first).
