Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
NGL, my fēnix 7 was feeling a little left out by all the fēnix 6 love the last few days… So it’s good to know that Garmin can hold both devices close to their collective heart when it comes to the adding and fixing goodness. I’m especially happy to see better surfacing of HRV data, but also given some of the instability I experienced with 9.15, it’s great to see the long…
