Love it, but it disconnects ALL the time.

I really like the features, but a huge issue is that it disconnects from the phone ALL the time! Just today alone i have had to reconnect 3 times. When this happens, everything related to my phone no longer works.

It sounds like you are getting the connected alerts on your watch which can be disabled by following the instructions here: http://ms.spr.ly/6429sCWtU
If that doesn't resolve the issue please contact our support team Monday through Friday 7a-7p CST at 800-800-1020.

Great watch with smartwatch functionality but still great for running. Sometimes it doesn't connect to a stryde pod very well though. just FYI of that.

LOVE IT!

I put off buying one because of price and having to do research to pick one and I have other things that do each thing individually but I'm so glad I finally did. It fits everything but track food. I haven't taken it off other than to shower.

Has everything I was looking for: tracts exercise; handcycling indoor; sleep; ECG; heart rate; and so much more. I only regret that I opted for the smaller size.

Best watch I have owned thus far!!!

Ok. Love that I can program my training runs.
Love my sleep scores. There is so much more to uncover . Best watch for a person with super small wrist and it looks fantastic as well. I love that it also opens up convos with many - as they look it in admiration. Highly recommend it- did I mention I have actually gotten faster now as well- cannot recommend it enough.

Cool features, nice looks

I mostly love this watch but got used to the features of the Forerunner - mostly Load Focus. I’m bummed that this no longer displays although all the same information is gathered. I’ll get used to it, but it’ll be a minute.
