Garmin’s Morning and Evening Reports are so good that Fitbit should steal them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-20 03:00:53

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve always believed that more is better when it comes to health-tracking metrics. If I’m wearing a GPS watch all day and all night, I want to know what it’s picking up and how I can best use that to my advantage. And when I always have a Garmin on my wrist, I know exactly how much data I have to look forward to. I know that I can tap into a Morning and an Evening Report on my Forerunner 970, and I’ve noticed that it’s made a few of my colleagues jealous. The

Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand Review: Grow Your Own

wired.com Kat Merck 2025-07-20 06:00:00

Upon receiving the Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand in the mail, I did not expect that I’d be enjoying some tea before I’d even unwrapped all the parts. “Is that … Zooey Deschanel? With a Dollar Tree Property Brother?” my husband asked, peering over my shoulder as I unpacked various tubes and parts. And indeed, among the boxes was a glossy handout of a slightly younger-looking Zooey, standing with a man who did vaguely resemble her current husband, Jonathan Scott, of Property Brothers fame.

I swapped my Apple Watch Ultra for this big-screen Garmin that's easier to read

ZDNET's key takeaways The Garmin Venu X1 is available in two color options for $799.99. The big 2-inch display is fantastic, the LED flashlight is brilliant, the thin case and light band make it a joy to wear, and the calculator now has a tip button.

How to fix an iPhone alarm that's not going off - and why it might be happening

zdnet.com Elyse Betters Picaro 2025-07-27 23:44:00

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I started noticing something very annoying at the beginning of the year: I'd set my iPhone alarm for 7 a.m., only to sleep right through it. At first I assumed it was my mistake -- maybe I'd accidentally left the ringer volume all the way down. But after double-checking that, even switching off vibrate and cranking the volume all the way up overnight, the problem persisted.

The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a powerful running watch but the price is all wrong

Garmin Forerunner 570 The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a sleek, high-performing running watch that nails the essentials and then some, but its price puts it in a strange no man’s land between its better-value siblings. With advanced training tools, added smart tools, and highly accurate sensors, it’s easy to love while wearing it, but unless you find it discounted, it's tricky to justify buying in the first place.

Garmin Forerunner 970 Review: A Very Extra Running Watch

Why, look at the leaves. It’s Garmin running watch season again! The sweatiest time of the year! As luck would have it, we’ve got a new flagship running watch to pore over in the form of the Forerunner 970. It features Garmin’s brightest AMOLED screen yet, built-in maps, a flashlight, a speaker, a mic, and more data fields than most of us mere mortals can process. It also costs $150 more than the previous running flagship, the Forerunner 965. Let’s see if it’s worth it. New Look Photograph: B
