Highly Suggest!!!!

This watch has everything I need to track my fitness as well the added bonus of music is like no others.
The only thing I would suggest would be to have a better operating system but it does take some time to get used to if you've been used to the ios operating system.
It is honestly the best investment and if your looking for a watch that will play music on your run but also the battery life lasts a long time, this is your watch!

Poor interface, watch band too small, software buggy
on February 17, 2023

Out of the box the watch band was too short. Watch is stuck in "sync" mode. Software is difficult to manage. Have no clear idea how to start or manage runs. Bluetooth is buggy. IQ store apps seem more like fluff than something usable. Highly disappointed and will most likely just keep this in a drawer and find another device.

Exactly what I was looking for

The watch is slim, customizable thru itself or an app, has a great battery life, and provides all the necessary health data accurately. My partner has an apple watch and the accuracy of Garmin is head and shoulders better. Only complaint is that the size you choose locks in the color.
The connect iq app is a great and surprising customization feature that allows me to put my family photo or a Star Wars watch face instantly.
If you have a premium spotify account that is a bonus, if not, the music version is less useful.

This is the perfect running watch! The Spotify connection was a bit tough to figure out at first but once I set it up no complaints. Love the bluetooth headphone connection!

versatile

Long battery life, more options to customize widgets with different data screens. I appreciate the music feature much more than I thought I would. I also really appreciate being able to add a race to the calendar, and receive feedback on training. Many other data features- like VO2 performance, barometric altimeter, and sleep data is also greatly appreciated.

Great overall

It was missing the perfect ten only because of the music interface. It's a little tricky to get used to but once I figured it out it was great. It's also hard to see the time when a run is paused.

Great watch!!

I absolutely love this watch! I've owned other Forerunner models and this is my favorite one by far! I got the small version and it fits my wrist perfectly. I use the GPS for four to five runs per week and also use the workout features and I charge my watch about every 8-10 days.
Very reliable watch so far!
