Is it worth changing to Garmin
Unfortunately like a lot of people I’m beginning to feel quite disenchanted with my Charge 5. I just keep finding inconsistencies, like no heart rate reading in the middle of a workout, the gps dropping in and out and no elevation recording. Me and a group of friends are planning on doing some big hikes come the spring/summer, and I’d like a watch that gives me a map of the hikes with consistent and accurate readings, I’m looking at the Garmin Forerunner 55. I’m no athlete so I don’t need anything too serious and I’m not a fan of spending money unnecessarily, but I feel the charge 5 is just letting me down so it might be time for a change. Has anyone made the move to a Forerunner 55? If so what did you think? TIA :)
