      For my birthday, I gifted myself a new sports watch, a Garmin Venu 3S. I really loved my Suunto but got my money’s worth out of it and was tired of using an HRM strap.

      I love my new watch, it’s easy to use and isn’t as big and clunky as the previous one. It’s cool to see my sleep evaluation (my sleep sucks, lol) and funny/annoying to get “Its time to move” reminders.

      I also recently upgraded to an iPhone 15 so I’m seriously considering cancelling my Inreach plan and relying only on my watch and iPhone.

      I figure the only con is related to battery life but I welcome y’all’s opinions.
      Lost in the right direction.

      You can turn off those "time to move" reminders. Google will reveal the steps since I can't remember how.

      I always thought they were funny when they went off while in a plane or driving.
