It’s been two decades since Garmin unveiled the world’s first GPS smartwatch. Since then, Garmin’s Forerunner series has been a staple to the running community; an essential for beginners, intermediate, and even elite runners.

In line with this momentous celebration, Garmin debuts the most powerful Forerunner smartwatches yet — the Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265.

Forerunner 965 series

The Forerunner 965 is Garmin’s newest, premium running watch in its roster. It’s equipped with a titanium bezel, a 1.4-inch AMOLED display, and a battery life of up to 23 days.

It’s currently a record-holder for having the world’s longest battery life on a running watch with an AMOLED display.

It comes with unique features such as Stamina and Acute Chronic Workload Ration, allowing users to track and manage their physical exertion throughout a run. The feature aims to prevent ‘bonking’ by overexerting too early in a run.

The Garmin Forerunner 965 is designed for marathon and triathlon enthusiasts, particularly those who benefit from features like the Wrist-Based Running Dynamic where users can access detailed metrics such as stride length and vertical oscillation.

It retails at PhP 37,660 and will be available in the Philippines starting April 2023

Forerunner 265 series

The Garmin Forerunner 265 series comes with a Gorilla Glass 4 lens with two options for users to choose from. Pick between the 1.3-inch AMOLED display with a battery life of up to 13 days or a 1.1-inch AMOLED display (on the Forerunner 265s) with a battery life of up to 15 days.

Like other Forerunner smartwatches, the Forerunner 265 has performance monitoring tools from Garmin Firstbeast Analytics such as VO2 max, performance condition, training effect, and more.

The Garmin Forerunner 265 retails at PhP 28,250.

he Forerunner 965 retails for Php 37,660.00 while Forerunner 265 is at Php 28,250.00. For more information about Garmin Philippines, visit their website or Facebook page.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
