All watches including Apple Watch, Coros etc have similar issues as tattoo ink absorbs light which hinders the heart rate sensor. From looking at your tattoos you are pretty much going have to rely on a chest strap heart rate sensor whatever fitness watch you get if you want accurate readings. The TracBack feature uses the internal compass to workout which way you are facing, it takes a while for it to stabilise. Because you are wearing the watch upside down and constantly flipping your wrist to view it that might be confusing the watch directions as the compass won’t have had enough time to settle.
She's just tested the Coros 3 and that works with her tattoos but there are other downsides to that watch.
Finally a video with all my questions answered in one time! Thanks, very complete 👍🏼
Great to hear!
Amazing entertaining review 🎉
Thank you 🤗
Like your intro. And am happy with my 965.
Thank you! We will be testing the 965 soon! For now in the queue there are Polar Vantage V3 and Fitibit Charge 6. Videos, Coros Pace 3 and Huawei GT3 also coming soon...
Hi Thanks for your super reviews. Will you be reviewing the Garmin Forerunner 965?
I just purchased mine today. It recorded the first run then got stuck on a screen and WILL NOT correct no matter how many restarts. Will be returning this.
Thank you for mentioning the domed screen, fingers crossed Garmin goes back to flat on the next generation.
Nice review. It really is a lot of money for what's being offered here. For the price I'd like a smaller bezel and a completely flat display. The UI looks childish to me but that may be simple matter of taste.
In the end yes it will track your runs and your heart rate but so will a four-year old 245 for a fraction of the price.
I am thinking of getting a used fr 265 for $260. Still contemplating if its a good deal or not?
I recommend the Coros arm strap. Comfortable, quick to put on and accurate. It’s only $79
We had not seen that - maybe in a coming test! Thanks for the suggestion
This is the best watch
Don't make regret when decided to buy this watch 😢
Thank you for your complaining. I don't get enough of that through my day
Our pleasure!
Good review. Horrible music.
"Promo sm" 👊
What a strange way of reviewing. You already know that the watch offers only breadcrumbs navigation right? If you want full turn by turn step up the ladder and buy the epix/fenix/955 or 965. Furthermore Garmin can’t help you painted your arm dark and now you complain about that the watch can’t read trough the ink 😂😂😂
Wow, it's Garmins fault you want to destroy your body with ink ?
I had no idea ink affected the heart rate sensor but makes sense given it emits light and the ink is a barrier.
