June 4, 2021 by DC Rainmaker Sports Technology News and Reviews Comments (103) Garmin’s new Forerunner 945 LTE isn’t your typical LTE watch. It doesn’t allow you to make or receive calls over LTE. You can’t stream music over LTE. In fact, you can’t even make or receive text messages over LTE. And that’s just the way Garmin wants it Garmin inReach 2 Mini Satellite Communicator (2-way) Amazon $399 Backcountry $400 REI $400. And finally, here’s a handy list of accessories that work well with this unit (and some that I showed in the review). Given the unit pairs with ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart sensors, you can use just about anything though. These four DC Rainmaker partner sites here are also running huge Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals on sports gear to supplement your sports tech addiction – Backcountry.com, CompetitiveCyclist.com, REI, and Wiggle: If you know of a sports tech deal (gadget-focused), feel free to drop a note in the comments or in the contact form. The Apple Watch Ultra is Apple’s real first foray into a watch suited for endurance sports, and other sporty adventures. Sure, Apple’s WatchOS 9 update for many of their other watches, including the recent Apple Watch Series 8, has brought a massive slate of new features aimed at that crowd – such as running power, triathlon support, and Garmin Vivosmart 5 In-Depth Review. It’s been nearly four years since Garmin last released a Vivosmart model – the Vivosmart 4.

October 14, 2021 by DC Rainmaker Sports Technology News and Reviews Comments (74) Yesterday Garmin held their annual developer conference, officially called the Garmin Developer Virtual Conference (GDVC). This event is the successor to the Garmin Connect IQ Summit, which in turn is somewhat Today Garmin has announced not one, not two, but like 287 watches. Technically speaking they’ve announced two core product series – the Fenix 7 Series, and the Epix series. I mean, ignoring the fact that Garmin previously announced an Epix From the Garmin Epix at $449 (insane!) and Forerunner 965 deals, to the slightly newer Garmin Epix Pro & Fenix 7 Pro at $200 off, to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 deal , and the Tacx NEO 2T for $899. There’s huge savings, and constantly updated! There's a newer model of this product. For instance the Fenix 5 and 935 are the same underlying hardware, as are the Fenix 6 and 945.

As much as people might want to compare it against the Polar V800, I don’t think there’s anybody these days considering a new V800 vs a new Suunto 9.
