What can you recommend for minimizing pores?

I know you can’t get rid of pores but I’m wondering is there anyway to make them smaller? I use La Roche Posay products. They keep my acne mostly at bay but I feel like my pores are just so large. Part of it is genetic, but just wondering if there’s anything else I can do at home to help. Thanks!

You do the running. Forerunner 245 Music does the thinking. It even gets to know you, mile after mile and song after song. This GPS smartwatch has storage for your favorite tunes, so you can keep moving to the music without having to lug your phone along. It also tracks your stats, crunches the numbers and gets to know all about your performance, your running form, your training history and even your goals. All you need to focus on is putting one foot in front of the other.

Wirecutter

This well-rounded running watch offers dependable on-the-run data and handy smartwatch features. But compared with the Coros Pace 2, it has pokier GPS acquisition times.

 Heart rate was also pretty good. You'Ll see some inconsistencies here, but for the most part it was pretty darn close to three other external heart rate monitors now for mountain biking. The 245 did really well at tracking distances, as well as average and the maximum speed good to go there, and then the GPS tracks were also very solid, even round switchbacks, whether they're going high speed or low speed. However, heart rate for mountain biking was pretty much on par with what I experienced with most wrist based optical heart rate, sensors, and that's generally, not so good

 Training is about the same as mountain biking, where again, you're gon na have a lot of wrist, flexion and movement, and you can see here that the 245 didn't necessarily do that. Well, now, for indoor rowing, it's going to collect your total number of strokes. Your average stroke rate maximum stroke rate, as well as attempt to collect your heart rate, and you can see this both after your workout as well as in Garmon connect. But you may have noticed

 Then you can access. Your playlists recently played curated playlists like made for you as well as workouts and then podcasts. So let's go ahead and download a playlist and what you'll notice is that it will use Wi-Fi to download the playlist and then it'll also prompt you to plug it into your charger and to be close to your Wi-Fi connection. Point for the best performance and you'll notice that I actually don't have the Fort 2:45 plugged in at all

 The one tip is to wear your watch on the same side where your Bluetooth or receiver is gon na, be on your headphones. So if the receivers on your right side try to wear your watch on your right wrist and then Garmin actually does have a page on the website where they have a list of tested, compatible devices so check that out and then, when you're, transferring your own tracks. You'Ll use the included charge and sync cable to hook it up to your computer, and then you can manage the music on your device using Garmin Express when it comes to battery life. Garmin advertises that you should be able to get about seven days out of it

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music // The Fitness Review

  I think it may be that some features, like the Pulse Ox (which is fairly inaccurate), cause the battery to drain faster.  Garmin's Connect app encourages you to wear this watch all the time, even when sleeping, to get better fitness data.  That's another reason the battery drains so fast.  Good thing is that it charges quickly

  That's another reason the battery drains so fast.  Good thing is that it charges quickly.  I need a watch that does less things for a longer time between charges.

Bad battery life

 However, now I feel like maybe the Garmin FR 245 Music would be a better choice for me. The most basic functions I need are GPS and the ability to download music from Spotify for phone-free runs.

I bought this watch ~5 months ago and have loved using it for runs and biking. It syncs with my phone (though I do have to initiate syncs sometimes which is a bit annoying) and I love being able to start/stop activities from my wrist. 

Love the watch, but meh Garmin cust service

This was ok but I noticed that I stopped improving and to some extent, I got a little bit bored. Back in May this year I switched over from an Apple Watch to a Garmin Forerunner 245 and noticed it came with a feature called Garmin Coach.

Great watch while it lasts, poor customer service

I bought a Forerunner 245 about 2 months ago, my first Garmin watch. I am not a runner (though I actually started picking it up duw to how easy and friendly the watch makes it for a noob like me), but I got the Forerunner for the training and load stats, and because I hated the idea of a touch screen. I am in love with this watch.

Forerunner 245 for hiking - great success!

A reoccurring theme

Would not wearing the garmin affect my body battery metrics or can it get that sleep data from apple health?
