| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sidious Mac Podcast. I'm your host, Chris Chavez. The Sidious Mac Podcast is |
| 0:04.5 | presented by Garmin. This is a sponsor and product that I use daily. Garmin has released its |
| 0:09.9 | latest round of 4Runner GPS running watches and there's plenty to be excited about. The newest |
| 0:14.7 | watches include the 4Runner 255, 255 Music, 255 S, 255 S Music, 4Runner 955 and 4Runner 955 Solar. |
| 0:24.5 | The 4Runner 255 family is the upgrade from the super popular 245. It's got all of your favorite |
| 0:30.0 | functions for the previous edition and more battery life. Garmin pay and some cool features including |
| 0:35.4 | a multi-band GPS, race day widget and a morning report. So let's start with the multi-band GPS. |
| 0:42.0 | This means that there's two signals from satellites coming down onto your watch to improve the GPS |
| 0:46.8 | tracking so your runs are more accurate with measuring the distance run and the pace that you're |
| 0:51.2 | going at. The map also looks super clean once it shows up on Stravan Garmin Connect so it shows |
| 0:56.6 | that you're on the sidewalk and not in the middle of the ocean on those waterfront runs in the |
| 1:00.2 | middle of the summer. The race day widget connects with the Garmin Connect mobile app and gives you |
| 1:04.5 | a countdown to a number of days until your next race. It's got a pace pro feature that helps you |
| 1:08.7 | stay on goal pace and factors in the race course if you're loaded onto the watch. They've got a |
| 1:13.1 | projected race day weather forecast and if you're up for it they'll even suggest some workouts |
| 1:17.9 | on what you should do for your next run to get you ready to hit your goals. It's fun and easy |
| 1:22.3 | to get on your watch screen. The morning report is brand new and similarly it gives you the day's |
| 1:26.8 | weather, what you've got on your calendar for the day and a recovery score that's pulled from your |
| 1:30.7 | heart rate variability so you know how fresh you may feel for that day's run or workout and how |
| 1:35.6 | you slept the previous night. For my triathletes out there there's also a new triathlon mode so you |
| 1:40.0 | can bike swim and run all during the same activity while logging your transition times. Take a look |
| 1:45.5 | down at your wrist. You may have had that thing for a while. Treat yourself and upgrade today |
