Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Forerunner 15 GPS watch's GPS accuracy, ease of use, and ability to track pace, distance, and steps. Many appreciate the large display size, making it easy to read. However, some users point out that the battery life could be improved, and the lack of continuous heart rate monitoring is a drawback for some. The price point is frequently cited as a positive aspect.

    I've worn the watch about 10 times now. Works well. I do have a few complaints. First, you cannot exceed 2 display fields at once. If you do want to check your pace, you will need to press a button and then press another one to return to the original screen (though you can have the pace visible on the main screen). Second, when you pause the watch for more than a few seconds, there is a delay while it "finds the location" when you un-pause it. Lastly, the pace function seems to be on a severe delay and may only display in 5 second increments. For instance, I'll check my pace. If I then speed up, it will be on a seemingly lengthy delay before it shows a faster pace, and it's always a pace ending in 0 or 5 (8:10, 8:15, 8:20, e.g.).

    Love that it tracks distance and time for me. Display is big enough to read while moving. It also has a moving alert to let you know you have been in that chair far to long.

    My daughter runs on the cross country team. This watch was recommended by her coach. It tells the time, keeps track of her steps, and tells her the pace she is running.

    The watch makes tracking distance runs very easy. I never run with out it. I think one improvement would be a faster way to reset the timer when not in GPS mode

    the watch is simple to use according to my son who runs XC/TF. the only thing which I personally think is inconvenient is that you do have to charge it.

    the Display is nice and large and I can go in the Pool with it. Garmin really need to work on the band though.

    Does what I expected. Need to expect to charge a couple of times if you use the GPS more than 3 hours per week.

    Pretty good watch, easy to use, Garmin Connect is great. Took a little getting used to, but great value. Takes a little while for the GPS to link up though. Otherwise, so far, so good.

    I simply love the big and clear lettering on the watch. It helps me keep track of my fitness activities and ensures that I stick to my plan and work towards my goal. The best part of this watch is its waterproof design which enables me to swim wearing it and thus track my laps also. The only thing I would change about this watch is better and more durable straps.

    I am new to the running world, so while this watch doesn’t have all the bells and whistles some of the more advanced versions do, it has all of the basic functions which is all I needed. One word of caution - I have large wrists and this almost didn’t fit. I have to wear it in the last notch.
