Honestly, it’s hard to beat Garmin right now. The forerunner is a great series.

Useless

My Garmin no longer charges when connect it to my computer. It charged when I first got it, but 2 weeks later it's already useless! And your support help is also useless. How do I get refund?

Music & GPS - everything I need. The Apple Watch batteries SUCK! My Garmin lasts for 4-5 days.

First running watch I’ve ever had and it was worth the purchase. Very easy to use and overall great watch.

Better than advertised

Better than expected. Great music player and a familiar setup to my older garmin watch for running. I previously had to carry a separate mp3 player or my phone to listen to music running.

Amazing for runners, battery is only question

This watch has been a blessing with my training, following the garmin coach feature has really helped me build a routine for my running. Only notes I would have are that the battery runs out very quickly when using the training features or music, and for YouTube music, not sure if it’s the platform but it does not have the storage I thought it did based on the amount of songs it allowed me to download from my running playlist

Difficult setup process

After going through the setup process, the watch has several times lost the settings and made me go through setup process several times?
