Customer Ratings & Reviews

Unless I designed a GPS watch with heart rate myself, I doubt I could be more pleased. It works exactly as it should. It's easy to learn and easy to pair with other devices. The readings are clear and seem accurate. It's comfortable. It was reasonably priced compared to the Forerunner 235. I have nothing bad to say about it. It works extremely well.

Get heart rate without a strap around your chest is beat rhing ever. This watch gets satelites really fast. Its awesome to have all your running data in your phone.

Owning this watch actually got me out running more because I purchased it. I like how you can toggle between disciplines like running to cycling, to hiking. Anyhow. It all seems accurate. I say buy it.

The watch is awesome. It's super easy to figure out and comfortable to wear while running. It's easy to see the face because it reflect the sunlight so the screen is not dark. I just love it. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what is going on but it couldn't have been much more than a day after the warranty expires that a big blank white dot appeared on the face of the watch rendering it useless. I'm so upset that I paid that much for this item and now it's done.

Great functionality including all of the tracking of gps, calories, and heart rate. It's extremely accurate and user friendly. Wish the watch face was made to be more resistant to scratching. So far so good but I suspect it'll be a matter of time.

I love my Garmin. Very easy to set up. I like that it has the heart rate monitor built into the watch so no separate strap. GPS is good and I also like the idea of it tracking steps and sleep.

Let me first say that this watch is one of the best I have used so far. I'm an experienced runner who likes to track the numbers. Other Forerunners which I've purchased in the past include the 301, 305, and the 220. And the 225 is superior to all of them. It does all that's advertised. Some of the cons might include the price and I have seen a couple of times where it freezes up and requires a reset. But overall I would recommend this for anyone who likes to track their progress.

Highly recommended! There's others out there that might be just as good, but I am enjoying this! Lots of features! Heart rate monitor is accurate as is the GPS of course!

I had originally bought this product since my brother got the same watch and said it was great to track his running. I was torn between this and the Fitbit Surge since I wanted to track my running and my heart rate, but the fitbit just didn't give me enough details about my minute-by-minute heart rate breakdown like this watch. I love this watch and would definitely recommend this to my friends.

Offers lots of helpful features for runners. Software has had its share of issues but latest update seems to have fixed them. Sleep tracker is about 75% accurate and sometimes misses awake time. Watch face is a bit large for smaller wrists. Good GPS connectivity.

The Forerunner 225 has an easy and visible interface, connects with phone (via Bluetooth) and computer (via USB), and has accurate HR and GPS measurements. Activity tracking and calorie estimation are a bonus.

I am loving my watch to date. Picks up signal right away, easy to use, and the heart rate on the wrist is a plus, plus. I am happy with this purchase.

Great watch for the everyday runner. Easy control finctions. Like how the gps finds a signal almost instantly unlike the older models. The heartrate monitor is consistent and fairly accurate.

It's been a great watch. It helps me track all of my workouts, it's easy to use right out of the box, and it even keeps track of how many steps I take a day and tells me when to move!

The watch does what it says. Have really enjoyed it and able to get track of pace and heart rate. The step tracking is fun as well to keep me moving.

It's very accurate, gps and it's the best measuring HR without wearing a chest band, I have compared several vs a polar chest band and all of them have an issue measuring while running or exercising, however, this one is the closest to the chest band. Has a big screen for easy reading. I would definitively recommend this one over any other.

This is a great sport watch. Not only does it track vital statistics on your run, monitoring your heart rate without a chest band is fantastic and convenient. The Garmin Connect website has lots of other features to easily monitor performance. I've been using this for about two months now, and as a long distance runner the watch and website have helped me increase my speed and distance in a smart and manageable way. Whether you're a casual or serious runner, this watch is a must.

Really good running GPS watch and heart rate monitor is within 10% of actual HR. No issue Bluetooth syncing with iPhone 5s. However, does have an issue were it shuts down when battery strength dips under 40%, had to replace it twice and same issue happened on every new item.

Great watch. No wait on the GPS to sync, feels great, HR monitor is accurate and so on. Does what it says.
