Hello Garmin Lemmings! (lemmy.world)

This is a community that I would love to help turn into a bustling community in the Reddit exodus that is likely to occur in a few months. How can we go about this?

Use the time now to build what is needed; community rules that make sense but aren't just copies of Reddit. Find mods early vs after suddenly growth. Have a good and vetted sidebar and FAQ with useful links for users, etc

Not sure. I have an old Venu.

I guess we could start by sharing news or watch faces. Obviously the numbers across Lemmy pale in comparison to R*****t, and most of the posts there are “which watch?” Or “I found a bug”…

I'm game and here to contribute where I can :)

Fenix 8 51mm amoled, following a long line of Garmin watches back to around 2013 when I switched from polar stuff over to a 910xt.

Nice! I think anything from new watches, customized watch faces, and fitness wins can live here.

You’ve been with Garmin for a bit, what’s kept you in the ecosystem the most?

[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, been sick as hell today. I have just always been happy with the features and capabilities.

I like that there's no subscription to your data too.

[–] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh no! Bet your Garmin loved all the stress from being sick 🤣

I’ve gone back and forth between an Apple Watch and Garmin multiple times and the lack of a subscription, simplicity of metrics presentation, and multitude of metrics always brings me back.

[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The stress was quite high today for sure as well as a 41 sleep score and I've been at 5 body battery half the day :(

[–] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Oof! I hope you recover well friend. That sounds rough, and it’s especially bad if you don’t get good sleep.

I didn't realize it is a thing. So, hello!

[–] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hello! What Garmin devices do you have?

[–] Sheldan@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

Instinct 2x I bought in autumn.

Maybe I look into a cycling Computer, but I'm not sure yet.

Hello there. We don't have much activity here yet but I'm sure it's coming. Check out one of the running communities as well. It's a bit more active.

Great suggestion, thanks! I’m a beginner runner but Garmin has been a great tool at shaping me up.

[–] Lizardking13@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah fantastic. It's a great hobby. It's my main form of exercise and I use the data from my Garmin a lot.

[–] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I run like 10-15 miles about every other week, trying to get in the habit of it. Balancing heat strength workouts and running is turning out to be a challenge for me

[–] Lizardking13@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Oh that's great!! Yeah the balance is hard. For most there is only so much you can do with work, running, personal life, and just being tired!
