With the built-in maps functionality of the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and many other Garmin devices, you have the ability to plot routes and export them to your device. For watches, this is perfect for hiking, but I have used it when doing walks around a new city for sightseeing. Of course, on a bike,…
With the Black Friday sales starting soon, and Christmas fast approaching us I thought it would be a good idea to cover some of the best fitness tech that will likely be featured during the sales. This won’t necessarily be the best or latest tech, but the things you can expect to get a good…
I reviewed the Livall BH60SE back in March 2019 and came away very impressed with the smart bike helmet which combined lights, built-in speakers and indicators. That was a road cycling style helmet, and Livall also makes some more urban or commuter orientated helmets. Their latest being the new flagship Livall BH51M NEO which has…
The Omron HeatTens is the latest drug-free pain-relieving product, that does what its name suggests, offering heat therapy combined with TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) technology. As someone that runs quite a lot of half and full marathons, cycles a lot, and weight lifts I am inevitably in some form of pain quite frequently. Most…
The Garmin Fenix range is the top of the range mainstream models Garmin has to offer, and along with the Forerunner 945, the Fenix 6 is classed as the gold standard of multi-sports watches. If you are new to Garmin and the Fenix, you may be wondering how a sports watch can cost so much?…
During my fitness journey, I started with fitness tracking with the Fitbit Ultra which was a clip in device offering very basic step counting, followed by the Flex and then the original Charge HR, finally migrating to Garmin and recently the £600 Fenix 6. It has been an expensive evolution of tech that is for…
The one big feature the Fenix 6 launched with is PacePro which allows users to set a pacing strategy that takes into account elevation. PacePro coaches you in real-time so you can slow and speed up your run as necessary. I plan to use this for the Chester Marathon on Sunday and I hope it will…

As a runner and cyclist, I went down the Garmin rabbit hole and now use the obscenely expensive Garmin Fenix 6. Recently I reviewed the Huawei Watch GT, and I am currently reviewing the Honor Band 5, which sits at the opposite end of the spectrum at just £30. This made me wonder what are…
As I use and write my Garmin Fenix 6 review, I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to highlight some of the features, as well as various tips and tricks to make the most out of your new £600+ watch. For existing Garmin users, a lot of these will be obvious, but I hope…
On Thursday, alongside the new Mate 30 series, Huawei introduced its latest smartwatch – the Watch GT2 powered by the latest Kirin A1 SoC which is also used in their new FreeBuds 3. It comes in two sizes, 42mm and 46mm catering for different sized wrists and styles, though the 42mm is mainly targeted towards…
I pre-ordered my Garmin Fenix 6 Pro from Amazon as soon as it became available, sadly for me, Amazon didn’t get stock until well after the launch date. When I finally got the phone last Monday, I was very disappointed to find the heart rate and PulseOX sensor not working properly. When not actively tracking…
