I can say the Vantage V sleep analysis is fantastic HRV, ANS Charge, Sleep Charge, and on and on but also with a score. Best of all when you wake up and press the "awake" it analyzes and presents everything on the watch no need to off load to the app. I test many other watches but can say the V never leaves one wrist for that reason. <br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-2861700836658693472020-03-07T11:53:59.082-07:002020-03-07T11:53:59.082-07:00Hi Sam,

I know you used to like the whoop, but that was a couple years ago. I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to a Vantage V or the Whoop.<br /><br />Thanks.Nikonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-90555538211241147412020-01-07T11:51:15.989-07:002020-01-07T11:51:15.989-07:00Hi John,

The ability to see sleep and ANS scores right on the watch in the morning without synching to the app is very handy,<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-4455903078337325872020-01-07T11:23:04.360-07:002020-01-07T11:23:04.360-07:00Hi Sam,

Do you believe the Vantage V's recovery software is more advanced and better than Garmin's who has partnered with First Beat? That's what I'm most interested in the watch: the recovery metrics, as I am often prone to over training. But I've been with Garmin for many years. <br /><br />Thanks.

Plenty of fine shoes in the $100 category including the Reebok Forever Floatride Energy, A bit softer and bouncier the Brooks Revel. A more traditional ride the Brooks Launch 7 (coming soon and review, better upper than 6 and slightly softer, review soon) Spring for $15 more but likely you can find a super deal on an "older" color the Skechers GoRun Ride 8 is outstanding, Private consults with classmates anytime!

I am a general runner. 4-5 days a week at 4 to 5 miles. You know my age. I just want something comfortable.

You guys do such a great job covering so many different brands and releasing articles on the top new shoes that come out each season. I love reading your site. I just wanted to say that I hope you all have had a great holiday season, and a big thank you to the work you all do. I never buy a new pair of running shoes before checking to see what you guys have said about the shoe.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-70411643516820783512019-12-27T06:02:24.723-07:002019-12-27T06:02:24.723-07:00Hi Will,

It seems Garmin struggles to keep up with iOS updates as synching is just not consistent and their own firmware updates sometimes cause other issues elsewhere. I am not overly concerned as I know the team there is very attentive. All brands and watches struggle with the moving target of changes to OS, GPS and such. In August I identified a battery life issue with the 245 and brought it to the attention of the top product guy. He immediately confirmed himself, stayed in touch as they worked to resolve which they eventually did. <br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-20937812920422028692019-12-26T20:06:14.473-07:002019-12-26T20:06:14.473-07:00Have you had any software/firmware issues with Gar...Have you had any software/firmware issues with Garmin lately? Love the tech, but many of my ultra friends are almost jealous of my ancient FR225 because it doesn't break... but I'd love to upgrade to the 245 music if I didn't have to fear software issues.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844368418925972257noreply@blogger.com
