    Great for tracking but charger has issues

    I had this watch almost 6 months now and love it. The only problem is the charger. In the last month the prongs on the charger do not connect to watch unless I hold it down firmly meaning I would have to sit there and hold it. I went to Best Buy which is where I bought it to get new charger. They acted as if they have never seen watch before even though I bought it there and they suggested I buy the charger on Amazon sunce this isn't a popular watch! I bought the charger on Amazon and same issue. I have to hold the charger too the watch for it to charge. Needless to say I'm going to end up buying another watch.

    Great watch. Bought it for my 12 year old grandson for his Birthday. He is a runner and swimming. Keeps his time and distance. Hooks up to his phone. Had a modern cool look. I highly recommend it

    Even though it is expensive, the Garmin Watch met my expectations, synced with my iPad and gives a great overall record of daily and weekly runs. It also monitors goals and is great for daily activities.

    I had been pushing off buying a running watch for a while because I am not really "tech savvy" but thus far this has been easy to set up and use! A great product that I would highly recommend.

    I picked this watch over a comparable Fitbit for the Garmin app, which I feel works better than than the Fitbit one... Occasionally my watch will lose sync with the app (my only knock from 5 stars) but other than that it is great.

    Upgraded from an older Garmin and the interface is easier to use, display is better, and it has all the information a serious runner could want. Haven't tried it cycling yet.

    My daughter loves this watch. She uses it for all her exercises and it really helps her be mindful of her activity during the day and how much sleep she is getting at night.

    This does everything I thought I wanted it to do. I now realize I should have upgraded to one that had golf course information in it. I have to wear my golf course watch on my belt loop if I want to track my steps with my Forerunner watch.

    I bought it for my 12 year old son. He has started to track his fitness activities and loves it. Only issue is we ordered a white one and got a black one, even though the label on the box said white.

    I preferred a watch with a standard face, but had problems with another garmin model, so I switched to the Forerunner 35. Works as good a the previous watch I owned and so far no issues or problems.

    Nothing "fancy" but does just about everything I want, including synching with MyFitnessPal. Would be nice if it had GPS but, comparing prices, not necessary. Changed the watchband to cloth and am happy with it too.

    Very nice watch. I wish I were a little more techy so I could use all the programs that it offers. I bought it because it does show me steps, heart rate etc. in a nice large display which I need - bad eyes!

    I was looking for a fitness tracker that works in the water. This one is pretty accurate! I do water walking/jogging in a lazy river pool and this records my steps & heart rate.

    I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband. He had another tracking watch that continued to fall apart. He loved this watch! From the tracking his runs to receiving call information. Worth every penny.

    I use it only for running. The accuracy on the distance you run is close. It varies each day when you hit the mile marks. I do like that it keeps track of your times automatically and that you can down your times and distance to your phone.

    The watch has large numbers and letters which make it great as I have low vision. That was the reason I bought it but really like everything about it.

    I bought this as entry level Garmin for someone who had never used a fitness watch. Overall they are excited about it and its great for women who have smaller wrists. Good purchase overall.
