The battery life is huge
on April 25, 2024
Posted by: Yaya
I bought my forerunner second hand and it is just unbeatable. Charging is merely optional every two to three weeks maybe. I’ve hit it on several metal surfaces with enough force to accidentally break it and it doesn’t have a scratch besides the one that was there when I got it. Honestly makes me scared at what put that scratch there. I work in a manufacturing facility with pots of molten metal around and this thing doesn’t complain about the heat. I love it never switching to anything else.

Terrible compared to my forerunner35

The watch face is too dark, and I tried all available faces. I have yet to be able to go for a run without getting all of this additional information. I can’t even stop and save data.

I bought this watch about 3 weeks ago. I have been using it every day to track stress, steps, and my various forms of working out. The GPS and coach app have greatly improved my training.

I'm so pleased with this watch. I was quite amazed with all the data it gave me after my first run with it. I plan to use it for hiking in Yosemite later this month as well.

Everything I need
on May 7, 2024

I’ve had this for about a month now and it has exceeded expectations. It does everything I can think of that I would need it for. I’m still learning new things that it can do and getting it dialed in how I like it.
