    Works well in every aspect I've tried so far. I can't tell if it's sync'ed with my HR strap from my old watch or if it is using the wrist sensor it has on it. No indication to tell. Stays in place while running but buttons are easily pushed so be careful.

    Cheesy material

    I purchased this watch along with the Fenix 5s to see if price made a difference and it certainly does. The Forerunner was very cheesy feeling, all plastic and I felt that for the price it could be made better. I returned this and stuck with the Fenix since I plan to wear the watch all the time. The features on the Forerunner work well (was told by a few friends who have them) but I prefer the look and feel of the Fenix. Would recommend if you don't plan to wear all day everyday and just want the features of a running watch.

    Got this for my wife because she badly wanted it, but I don't like it though. Screen light too dim, looks very old design, the only Good thing might be the weigth.

    This is a good product, but too masculine and big for my small wrist. I gifted it to my son and he was very pleased!

    Not the best designed watch but does what it's supposed to! Many other cheaper watches have nicer interfaces!!
