- I bought this a few months ago and loved it but wanted to wait to write a review so I could comment on its reliability over time. So far, this thing is great. Best sports/tracking watch I have ever owned.The battery life is as advertised. Lasts about two weeks depending on how active you are with the GPS during that timeframe. You can display the exact battery percentage, also.The size and display area are great. It doesn\'t feel too big but there is plenty of room on the screen for all the important info you might need.During workouts: you can customize what fields are displayed for each activity. I primarily use this for running, and I like how I can adjust what I see on the screen (HR, pace in whatever units I want, total distance, etc). There are actually quite a few different metrics you can display, so I\'m confident you will find what you want. I also like how it vibrates at every mile marker and gives you a quick read out of how you\'re doing so far in terms of pace and whatever else you decide to display. The vibration is actually quite useful, and is powerful enough that you will definitely feel it (I know some watches are sort of weak in this regard).Heartbeat sensor: this was an important one for me, and this watch has performed very well in this regard. My older Garmin watch (Forerunner 35 I think?) seemed pretty unreliable with HR, but this one seems like its pretty spot on most of the time (as verified by manually checking my HR to see how close it is).It has some really cool \"widgets\" that you can add to your main menu. For example, I can check the weather for the next week with two or three button presses, which I think is a cool bonus. It also has health focused ones like V02 max and you can review your HR over the past week, displayed as a simple line graph.The only thing that bugs the hell out of me is that when you go to start a workout, a run for example, it will always give you this \"suggested workout\" that you have to say no to every time. It\'s really annoying and I wish I could turn it off, it just adds extra button presses before I can start my run. Not enough to deduct any points, but it\'s still a really annoying feature.
- As accurate as chest strap over 95% of the time. And, it works with the Ticker-X chest strap and other reputable straps.I preferred the chest strap until I bought this monitor with watch and put it through it\'s places. And, I have tried all the major brands chest straps including the ones by Garmin, Polar and my favorite Wahoo Ticker X.And the mobile Connect app is fantastic rivaling the Wahoo app.Using any HR monitor means you are aware and on the right track, so sick with it!
- Gran reloj.
- I can’t complain. I am long distance runner and it works perfect. I Totally recommend it
- I was looking to replace my old Garmin and tried some of these new \'fitness watches.\' They were not good for running so I bought a new Garmin. Can\'t go wrong. I don\'t use the sleep tracking on any of my devices.
- My 18 yr old son loves it..he does 6 to 8 miles a day and it fits his needs. Not fancy but affective
- The media could not be loaded. I have always used an Apple Watch for running. I’m training for a marathon now and constantly got annoyed by the touch screen after my fingers would get sweaty, so wanted something geared more towards working out/running. When I bought it, I thought I’d only wear it to run but I have loved all the data that it provides so much that I’ve been wearing it almost all the time. You can view all daily metrics on it, however, I prefer to view the data on the phone app as I find that a little easier to see all at once. It can receive all of my phone notifications except for my texts because I have an iPhone and the watch is not compatible with iMessage. The gps has been so accurate while running, it is easy to stop/start, and has a strong vibrate when you stop/start or finish a mile. There are a variety of workout options available but I’ve only used it for running so far. The sleep tracking has been great and is so accurate. It gives you a daily body battery percentage based on stress, sleep, and activity level. The battery also lasts so long before it needs to be charged! It usually lasts about a week before needing to charge, depending on how many gps workouts I log. There are definitely still many other features that I have not tried yet but the things listed are what I use most/love the most about it!
- I got this to replace my 5yr old Forerunner 235 and am super happy with it.Best points:- Excellent battery life, easily tracks a 50-miler and longer; I rarely charge compared with every few days for my FR235- It sits closer to the wrist with less bulk- Strap is more flexible- customizable watch face is easy to see; press a button for a backlight when it’s dark- 4 data fields (only had 3 on the FR235)- Great GPS tracking, fast satellite location- Buttons are easy to press on the moveCons (slight)- scant instructions so I could see this being pretty unintuitive for a first time Garmin user. Luckily the watch itself gives hints on the customization features. I probably fiddled for about 30min to get it all just right.- when you go to start a run, it tries to suggest your workout which is nice but not necessary. It’ll also tell you it’s locating satellites, when in fact it’s already good to go. Just press start and it’ll start tracking.I can’t comment on sleep/HR, as I don’t track those; though HR seems on par with every other wrist based monitor I’ve had.Overall a great running/biking/activity tracking watch for those who don’t want/need smart watch features. There’s a lot of running data to geek out on, packed into a small, lightweight package. I’ll probably rarely/never use it all, but it’s fun if you want to mess with the extensive Garmin Connect app. Would highly recommend - does everything I want as a competitive ultra runner.
