Forerunner: the Garmin range designed for running

The Forerunner is the Garmin range dedicated to running: lightweight, focused on pace, distance, and heart rate. The simplest models already offer an AMOLED screen, adaptive training plans, and an estimation of recovery time; the high-end versions add a multi-band GPS, more accurate between buildings and under trees, as well as running dynamics measurements. The Music version stores tracks for running without a phone. The sales are a great opportunity to upgrade from a smartphone app to a proper GPS watch, more reliable and always on your wrist.

Fenix, Enduro, Instinct: run long and far

Beyond the marathon, battery life becomes the main criterion. The Fenix, in the Pro Sapphire Solar version, combines a very scratch-resistant sapphire glass, solar charging, and topographic maps for following a route in the mountains. The Enduro, lighter, is designed for ultra-trail: it lasts several days of continuous GPS running. The Instinct, rugged and easy to read, withstands shocks and water, and its Solar versions can go without charging in energy-saving mode. The Vívoactive, slimmer, is suitable for the runner who swims, bikes, and hits the gym as much as they run.

QuickFit bands: change style without tools

The QuickFit bands clip on and off in seconds on compatible Garmin watches, without tools or small screws. They come in three widths, twenty, twenty-two, and twenty-six millimeters, which correspond to the size of the case: the widest, sold in a pack of three, fits the large Fenix and Enduro models. The twenty-millimeter Quick Release bands, with quick pins , fit other models like some Forerunners and the Vívoactive. The silicone dries quickly and does not fear sweat; a rinse with clear water after each outing prevents irritation and keeps the band flexible.

Belt and visor: bib, water, and shade

The bib belt, like the Mako or Z3R0D, avoids puncturing your shirt with pins: the bib attaches to two clips, turned to the front to cross the line and to the back on a bike during a triathlon. The hydration belt Coxa Carry, designed in Scandinavia, shifts the load to the hips and carries enough to drink and a few gels for long outings without a backpack. The visor Avento Alba protects the eyes from the sun and allows heat to escape from the top of the head, a real comfort during midday summer runs.

Frequently asked questions

What gear do I need to run in winter?

Layer a long-sleeve technical shirt, a thin warm layer, and a windbreaker, with gloves, a beanie, and a neck gaiter. At night, a headlamp and reflective bands make you visible to drivers.

How to carry your phone while running?

A running belt fitted above the hips keeps the phone secure without bounce, better than a pocket. An armband works for short outings, but the screen is less accessible to change tracks or follow navigation.

Which Garmin watch to choose for a first marathon?

An entry-level or mid-range Forerunner is enough: reliable GPS, real-time pace, heart rate, and guided training plans. Its battery life easily covers the four or five hours of a marathon, even in the most precise GPS mode.

Is a heart rate belt needed with a GPS watch?

The wrist sensor is sufficient for endurance and daily tracking. For short intervals, where the heart rate fluctuates quickly, a chest belt remains more responsive and accurate; it connects to the watch via Bluetooth or ANT+.

How to charge a Garmin watch?

Plug the provided Garmin cable into the connector on the back of the watch, then into a USB port on a computer or a wall charger. Wipe the contacts before plugging in: dried sweat and salt can disrupt charging.
