Blackberry 9300 gps garmin

Tenho dinheiro disponível para pegar um forerunner 265, atualmente tenho um GTS 4 Mini que comprei quando nem corria, só pra ter um smartwatch, mas agora estou levando a corrida a sério já tem 1 ano... meu relógio me atende em questão de GPS preciso e bateria (14+ dias), pagar 3k num garmin vale tudo isso mesmo??

I was at the sports store and I saw the garmin watches. I liked the idea of having a watch that actually has battery life and can work as a GPS as well. The question I have is if it's necessary to have the app on the phone to properly use the thing? The reason is that I am really tired of all the "telemetry" that newer devices constantly send back to the manufacturer as well as the device essentially being bricked when the manufacturer decides to not support it anymore.
I just want something that works, tells me about messages, maybe controls music playback or something, does things like GPS if it can, but not have to deal with all of the modern BS that modern electronics do nowadays.

I’ve had various Fitbit’s for the past 8/9 years, I’ve currently got a Versa 4. It’s just not cutting it anymore! The GPS is horrendous on it, it never connects and when it does it shows you’ve run somewhere you haven’t.
I’m looking at a Garmin but there’s so many I don’t know what’s best for me and my needs and what I want from it so I’ll list things which I like in my Fitbit & would preferably want in any new watch I get and if anyone could point in me the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
• accurate GPS • changeable watch straps • accurate sleep tracker • accurate HR monitor
I use it • in the gym for weights • outdoor running • treadmill running • walking all day in work as I work in construction • I play a lot of football (soccer) so I like to use the run map on my Fitbit from GPS to see how far I’ve run and where (but like I said the Versa 4 GPS hasn’t been working at all lately on mine)
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys!
I've been cycling with a phone mount and Komoot to navigate through my routes, and I've been using the Huawei Watch Fit to track my cycling activity (heart rate, route, speed, duration, etc.). I don't use the phone for anything else than navigating and seeing my speed. All the tracking is done by the smart watch
Now I've found an old Garmin Edge 25 from my dad and decided that I will upload my routes to that device so I can navigate with the Garmin device and with that device I can also see my speed. This will replace the phone with the phone mount.
But here my question comes. Should I also use the Garmin Edge 25 for all the tracking and stop using the smartwatch at all? That means I will be using the Garmin Edge 25 for everything, the only downside is that I can't track my heart rate when I stop using my smart watch.
I do have a heart rate band which I could use but I don't really like that being around my chest while cycling. I might try it again when you guys say that that will be the absolute best choice but that won't be my preference.
EDIT: If you know about it, could you also tell me what choice will give me the best accuracy for tracking data (gps, speed, heart rate)
Thanks in advance!

I track all my mountain bike rides on the iPhone Strava app (free version). I seem to have consistently less distance at the end of the ride than my friends riding with me. My son's Apple Watch app is always 1/2 to almost a full mile more. Today my friend's Garmin watch said 9.3 miles while my Strava app said 8.91. We're riding together, exact same trails. Is it because my phone is in my pocket while their watches are on their wrist and therefore getting better GPS signal?

I did a 10km event today, and my Strava recorded an extra 500m on the route. As it’s quite a big event, I assume I can trust the race route and chip time to be more accurate than my phone. This is annoying as my Strava 10km time was 3 mins faster than my race chip time, which means I’m slower than I imagined haha!
I have a new iPhone 15 and was in a place with constant signal, therefore no tree coverage or dark spots as far as signal or GPS should be concerned.
Are there any solutions to this? I can now imagine that all my previous runs for the last 2 months of training are inaccurate! I have been considering getting a Garmin anyway, so maybe this shows it is time!

I have a garmin forerunner 255 which I currently use to track my rides. I’m looking at getting a garmin edge 540 to track my rides but I have some questions.
Do you think the gps on the garmin watch will be better or worse than on the cycling computer?
Would it be beneficial recording on both and just using the best data or take off the watch to record or just continue using the watch?
If I did record on both how would that work with syncing and would it just be better not wearing the watch?

The Lead-Up:
After months of gruelling training including the requisite time spent napping, curating the perfect Spotify playlist, photographing flat-lays of my kit, balancing chia-seed count to GU consumption, and sticking to zone 0.7, I was finally ready to tackle the infamous 5K Ultra. Thanks to my legendary Strava art skills, I had already been approached by several manufacturers to test their kit in the field and under gruelling conditions. Nike hooked me up with their Alphafly 17 prototypes. They claimed these shoes were so fast, they could propel a snail to a world record. Challenge accepted, Nike.
Garmin, those time-bending wizards, bestowed upon me the Garmin 1080p (p for "prototype”). This isn't just a GPS watch. It is a chronometer designed to measure the subtle fluctuations in spacetime that occur when one operates at my pace.
GU understood the need for fuel that could sustain not just the body, but also provide the energy needed to keep my mind from bending under pressure. Their prototype gel, a symphony of liquified Achilles tendons and distilled gazelle sweat, promised to unlock the latent antelope within me, or at least the fraction thereof required for this monumental endeavour.
My feet, those tragically unsung heroes of endurance, were adorned with "anti-blistering pace" socks. These are engineered by [REDACTED] to deliver a delicate balance between progress and preservation. Their integrated rate-limiter ensured my pace remained within the optimal range for completing a 5K in 24 hours while never reaching a pace that can be considered ‘blistering’.
Keeping me (barely) road legal were the Nike shorts. Engineered with space-worthy precision, their brevity is not a fashion statement, but a calculated strategy to optmise perineal airflow. After all, in the pursuit of greatness, every millisecond counts.
And then there was the singlet. A gossamer-thin weave of moon dust and unicorn tears that shimmered with an ethereal glow as a symbol of my otherworldly connection to the cosmos, a testament to the fact that my running transcended the mundane constraints of gravity and time. Nike really pulled out all the stops with this one.
In the eight weeks before the race, I began my taper in earnest and was pulling 18-step days in the last week. I didn’t sleep for three days and three nights leading up to the race but it’s ok - I have been trained for this is what I kept telling myself so that my self-talk fell just shy of being forbidden by AIMS regulations.
Starting Line Serenity:
As I stood at the starting line, looking absolutely spiffing in my celestial singlet and Alphafly 14s, a wave of reverence washed over the crowd. This was the hushed anticipation of a scientific breakthrough. The gun fired and I embarked on my journey, each step a deliberate calculation and a calibrated multiplication of stride brevity multiplied by cadence.
0 - 200m: Swiss fucking clock
The Garmin 1080p hummed with satisfaction as my pace aligned perfectly with its arcane algorithms. The world around me seemed to speed up, the sun's rays bending to my will. GU flowed through my veins. Everything was according to plan.
200m-800m: Shoes make the runner
I started to pay attention to my shoes. These Alphaflys are significantly better than version 12 (which only I happen to know are a direct descendant of version 9 with a more cushioned upper and a more breathable midsole). Their energy return is abysmal all the way until toe-off, when they absorb about 99.8% of your stride energy. I was suitably impressed.
800m -1.2km: Disaster
Disaster struck. The Garmin beeped loudly and engaged panic mode, vibrating my wrist so hard that I felt tendons in my shoulder start to part ways with my arm. I had entered Zone 1. I was only 4 hours in and already in danger of overcooking this race. But I have trained for this. More GU, tighten the shoelaces. Breathe with the famous 14-8-21 pattern, think of all the people I hate…
1.2km - 3.8km: Eyes wide shut
I have very little to report. This middle section of any race is where I lose concentration and focus. I closed my eyes for most of this stretch and just counted the hours. I kept repeating my mantra that the only hour of the race that matters is this hour. I was burping Achilles tendon from the GU and made a mental note to tell GU something about this. I don’t remember what that something was but it was one of the toughest times of my life.
3.8 - 4.2km: Perineal Optimization (& Cosmic Alignment)
The Nike shorts, those aerodynamic marvels, whispered sweet nothings to my meticulously streamlined perineum. With each stride, I could feel the very fabric of reality bending to my will, the stars aligning in perfect harmony with my stride and Mercury simply sipping on the Gatorade. I was fading in and out of a shimmering and glimmering and sparkling hallucination that I decided to succumb to. If I made it through the night, all would be fine.
The Finish Line Triumph: 24:00:07 (twenty four seven)
As I crossed the finish line, 24 hours and 7 seconds after I began, the crowd simply stared in a hushed awe. This wasn't just a finish. It was one of those defining moments in sports. It was Pheidippides breaking the 4-minute mile, Usain Bolt breaking the 4-hour marathon, Michael Phelps jumping a 3-yard long-jump - a paradigm shift in the world of running. The Garmin 1080p, its mission accomplished, succumbed to the temporal distortions it had so diligently recorded and vanishing from my wrist, lost to time and space. The GU that was left in my backpack, its energy fully expended, evaporated into a puff of magical purple smoke. The soles of my Alphaflys were melted into a soothing, aloe-vera goo that I applied to my sunburned perineum.
Key Conclusions:

• Endurance is not a race against others, nor against oneself, but a harmonious dance with time, space, and prototype kit.
• Perineal optimisation and cosmic alignment are the keys to unlocking the next level of human potential.
• When we persevere, we are capable of feats that inspire at least 40 generations of athletes.

Have anyone been able to test the battery drain in GPS mode on the new Fit 3 watch? I am to use the display in raise to wake and not aod.
I am torn between Garmins Venu 2q or the Huawei Fit 3, but I can't decide before getting an answer on this question.
Thank you
EDIT: Fit 2 is claimed for 12 hours in GPS-mode so Fit 3 should be around same and makes it a better contender than Garmin Venu 2q. If you do not compare the ecosystems for sports. But, Huawei Connects to Strava nowdays so it does not really matter.

Hi there, does anyone know how to load the 2024 Ironman France bike course onto the 1040 Garmin GPS?
Thanks!

EDIT: I know a apple watch or galaxy watch would work, but I care much more about the GPS accuracy and the pace work and other benefits that only a proper running watch gives like a garmin
Just as titled, I simply want a GPS watch I can downloaded the guided runs to so I can listen to coach Bennet while running. My phones GPS accuracy is bothering me so I'm looking at a proper running watch between the Coras pace 3 and garmin 255. It seems to not be an option on the garmin but can I download it on the coras? Goal is to leave phone at home, any other watch recommendations would be great too but GPS accuracy for pacing is the biggest selling point.

Hello fellows, I'm searching for something like the Garmin devices to use strictly for navigation even in regions without cellular connection (4g). Anyone have experience with those devices? Specific models?
I am also searching for a GPS locator that can reliably track the location of my bike in case it is stolen. Does anyone have any suggestions? I see mixed reviews for certain devices. I don't have an iphone or Samsung to use their Airtag-type devices plus I think it's better if it works with GPS satellites rather than rely on other devices to be around. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated 👍

Recently got a 15’ sib that I’m converting to a dive boat for me and my buddies to dive/spearfish from.
I want to explore the sea floor via a fish finder type system that’ll tell me if I’m over a pinnacle or reef. I also want to save that gps coordinates to come back to it later.
I know larger GPS nav/sonar systems work great for this but what’s a decent handheld unit for a small inflatable? Looking at the Garmin Stryker 4 because that’s what the algorithm keeps throwing at me. Appreciate the advice. FWIW I’m located on the west coast of California.

I just bought an Umidigi Bison X10 for a dedicated GPS for motocamping. Its rated waterproof even when submerged. Wondering if anyone uses something similar instead of a Garmin or other GPS.

Looking to add some sort of gps to my fe450. Currently have a trail tech vapor dash.
Looking for something I can load trail maps onto, as well as have some sort of location signal in case I’m out lost in the woods. I’m a little confused w all the options— curious what some of you are using. Thanks!

Hello everyone! Looking at buying a 255s soon and want to confirm one thing beforehand. I typically use the Nike Run Club guided runs but i am tired of taking my phone with me and the gps isnt even as accurate as a Garmin would be hence the change. Can i download the NRC guided runs on my watch so i can leave my phone at home? I know Garmin has their coaching but i hear they dont have guided commentary as Nike does.
