I was an Apple Watch user before my Garmin and I was a little hesitant to purchase at first. One of my friends had recently purchased one and I was so surprised by the data it gives you after a run or a workout!! Then, I realized I needed and really wanted the Garmin! I pulled the trigger and purchased the Forerunner and I absolutely love it!! I’m obsessed!! I have it on all the time and it’s easy to learn and use! The data that you get after a workout is so informative, but I’m a nerd when it comes to that! The battery life alone is enough to switch and plus the color of the watch is really unique and cute! I will not go back to purchasing an Apple Watch!
I bought this about a month ago and I'm so glad I did. I switched from a Google Pixel Watch and im more of a hybrid athlete. This is a great watch to track everything! I obviously havent tried the other garmins, but this one is a great watch! I go from powerlifting to running and i love it. Im certainly gonna use this forever and im so glad i made the switch! I'm trying to convince everyone i know to get this watch!
I bought this watch 3 weeks ago when my Apple Watch died. Friends and family highly recommended the Garmin. I got the Forerunner 570. I am very impressed with the watch and the Garmin app. I think it has already improved my running.
The band is sligltly too big. I prefer the 18 mm band and the size of 256s. I feel this watch is slightly on the heavier side and the strap blocks my blood flow to fingers on my thin wrists. Nice software.
I got this as a replacement for the forerunner 245. what. an. upgrade. I like seeing my sleep score and it's pretty handy to see what the primary benefit of your training session was as well.
I love the watch! I wish there was a way to completely deactivate the microphone and speakers, as I don't use those features at all. Additionally, some of the apps I want to use are not yet compatible with this watch. I understand it's not Garmin's fault, but perhaps they could encourage developers to update and optimize the apps for better compatibility.
I have mild carpal tunnel on my wrist and the 570 was a bit too heavy and bulky. I did try other straps and it did not work for me, I had mild pain on my wrists. The 256 s is much better on my wrist, I feel lesser pain and can were it for longer time without discomfort. Much thanks to the 18 mm wrist band and lesser weight. Software is decent. Battery life is ok.
