We work with daily prices, which can be influenced by various factors such as purchasing conditions, stock levels and supply and demand. It is therefore possible that different models may differ in price.

The price for used items is always based on the condition and the selling price at the time. As soon as a product shows scratches or wear and tear, a much larger part of the price is deducted.

There is only the Pool Swim function, so only indoor.
Since the watch is waterproof, it is safe to wear while canoeing. As far as I know, Garmin does not have a "canoeing" function. But there are apps you can install yourself, and apparently there are canoeing apps like this one: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US.... So there is nothing to stop me using the watch for canoeing.

To my knowledge, they are identical. Anything else would surprise me.

No.
Without sports activity, no it does not seem normal. With bluetooth, sensors (cardio /oxymeter), a simple display and without activity, mine lasts 10 days.
Afterwards, depending on the activity/setting and the screen configuration, it drops more quickly. The complexity or simplicity of the basic display has a direct influence on consumption.
You just have to look at the right offer. Garmin Forerunner 245 (42.30 mm, fibre reinforced polymer)
The Digitec sorting algorithm is a bit strange. But have you ever thought that a normal Swiss dealer would rather not make a price that ends at 57 centimes?

With grey bracelet *without* music, with black bracelet *with* music ... :-)
As far as I know, there is no difference between the versions with and without music. The watch itself is black. The strap is grey/anthracite.
Yes it is

According to our research, you cannot listen to music directly on the watch. You also need a smartphone for that.

The current altitude can be displayed (the desired data can be set yourself), but altitude*difference* does not seem possible. It is visible afterwards in the app.
Helpful answer
Yes, it's the same in principle. The vivosport simply has a clamp and the Forerunner has a normal cable. The connection is otherwise exactly the same.
Yes, the watch has English settings and I believe u can change these to other languages as well.
Helpful answer
No, only running, indoor cycling, treadmill, indoor track, cycling and swimming pool.
I regret that Garmin no longer has heart rate belt solutions in its range, precisely because of this. I notice that jumps in heart rate are readily displayed on the first kilometre, especially a number that is too high. This coincides with my internet experience. Later it seems to be reasonably accurate.
What I just noticed these days, and need to verify further: I see a clearly too high HR for the effort. I therefore tighten the wristband and the HR is reduced to a plausible number.

Unfortunately, we have no information regarding the delivery date yet.
Hi FHM
Thank you for your question. I recommend this video on Garmin Running Power: https://www.youtube.com/watch. Polar has also had a watch since last year that measures this value, which is mainly known from cycling: https://www.youtube.com/watch.
If you want to collect as much data as possible, the additional info of Running Power might be interesting for you, otherwise the flagships of the sports watch and smartwatch providers already offer a wealth of information for data lovers and those who want to know more :)
I hope this helps you with your decision.

All common charging stations should work. I personally charge on the computer.
However, I can recommend this charger: Baseus Speed PPS charger
The display always remains visible. However, the light goes out after a few seconds. However, this is only an issue at night :-)
