Do you ever feel that some smartwatches have just too much smartwatch in them? That’s what struck me when Garmin announced the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro today.

A small smart speaker-like unit with an AI-powered, body-mapping camera on top, it offers real-time feedback on your movements, plus guided sessions to be completed as part of a larger workout…

For once, I’m not too sad that summer is drawing to a close. I can’t wait for the cooler weather to arrive. I know because I can’t stop looking for cold-weather gear. I’ve discovered that a load of my favorite outdoor brands and retailers — from my time as an Outdoors editor — are running…
