A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
I have a forerunner 255 for a couple of years and it has been great.
I wish they had wireless charging, but I also appreciate that it is slimmer because they don't have it.
I would have gotten a nicer one, but holy cow they get expensive.
It does everything I need and even stores music for my runs. (Who am I lying to, it stores music for my walks.)
I have a Garmin BP cuff and I like that I can track my health stats, including sleeping
I am about fan of Garmin and its products, I only wished that they had a program to replace batteries.
This is probably why I won’t go back to them. The fact that, from what I’ve seen, you just get an offer on a discounted refurb in lieu of a battery change. Either that or told to purchase a new one if the battery fails just outside of warranty, which didn’t seem rare for my watch. Given how many iterations there have been of these watches seems by design.
I wish Garmin would stop advertising their paid services and products several places in the GarminConnect app.
I've had my vivoactive 3 for 6 years and the only problem is the battery. When new it would last a week as a normal watch a solid 12 hours when GPS tracking.
Now its at best 36hrs between charges. About 1hr if i tried to GPS track with it.
When I look up replacement batteries not a single one has a good review.
