Wayyy better than the 2015 Forerunners
on January 22, 2024

I had a Forerunner back in high school to track my runs for XC and track. The GPS took forever and the battery life was trash. This new Forerunner is phenomenal. The GPS is quick to start runs. It tracks your steps and heart rate. It even tells you how much stress you had throughout the day. Its a must have smart watch for runners!

Very good for someone who starts running, but lacks a few features like more activity. Would recommend, but if you can afford the 255. Go for it

Great watch

Great for everyday use. This watch is user friendly and lightweight. As a cross country, track and nordic ski coach I use this all the time to help our athletes with pacing during training. This watch does not have ski mode, but the "other" function works well for tracking skiing.

Awesome for recording activities

Does an absolutely spectacular job to track any activity with heart rate and cadence, doesn't have any crazy extra features but gets the important job done. If you don't need phone-less music, this watch is perfect for you. I personally used it for running, skiing, biking, and rowing (with the iq extra app). It also has really good integration with Strava as well through the garmin connect app.

I have used it on many runs and walks. I like it because it lasts a long time between charges and it's very user friendly. Only thing I didn't like is that it doesn't come with the charging cable.

Love this watch. Battery lastS for almost a week and tracks all of the activities I do. I use it mainly for mountain biking and running.

garmin watch

love the style, ease of use, and how it motivates me to move and be active. I use it to track my steps if walking dogs and for runs. only drawback is sometimes difficulty connecting to track runs. However I have had that problem with all watches I have used in past. This watch is simple to use and a great beginner watch. I would recommend for users of all levels however.
