  • Core to Garmin's offering is the heart rate sensor on the back. Heart rate monitoring is core to Garmin figuring out how hard you work, using heart rate zones. But the watch also uses GPS to record speed, and track the location on maps (which also feature on Fenix), while altitude change is also recorded, which is one of the key metrics for skiing.

The article on TechRadar discusses a unique experiment where a Garmin watch was tested against a virtual skiing trainer to see how well it could track and analyze skiing performance. The author, who is an experienced skier, used the Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar watch, which features advanced sports tracking capabilities, during a session on the SkiErg, a machine that simulates the skiing motion. The watch was able to track metrics like speed, distance, and even vertical oscillation, which are relevant to skiing. However, the virtual trainer provided more detailed feedback on technique, such as timing of movements and balance. The Garmin watch, while not as detailed in real-time coaching, offered valuable data post-session, including heart rate zones, calories burned, and a detailed breakdown of the workout. This comparison highlighted the strengths of both technologies: the virtual trainer for immediate technique correction and the Garmin watch for comprehensive performance analytics.
