Lack luster
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a polar watch in 2014 updated to the Garmin 45 this year 2020, but the technology reminds me of my previous polar, nothing new really. I actually returned the Garmin 45 and started using my polar watch again. I'm a runner and have completed 2 half marathons.

Not user friendly and does not show me average pac
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not user friendly at all. I have consulted 2 techs at Best Buy snd still cannot get the watch set the way I need it to show average mph while in motion while horseback riding. Very disappointed with this watch. I bought the watch just for this function and I can’t set it to show me that information.

Garmin Watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This watch is difficult to set and to use. The charger should have been a normal charger. If you lose the charger you have to wait for a new one to be sent and you can only order off website.

Lousy product.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lousy product. I bought a Coros Pace 2 watch instead, which is a way better product if you're a triathlete. Better luck next time Garmin.

Solid running watch
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned this watch for 3 years now which is the longer than any other running tech or qatch band has lasted before. The most accurate data collection I've had so far as well and battery still lasts for days without needing a charge.

Great watch.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Frankly speaking, this Watch really surprised me. At first, I was looking for a conventional GPS Running watch, but after seeing this watch decide to give it a try. I have to say that I really enjoy the experience. The watch is very light, so if you are looking for a roubst watch this is not the case, but for daily use is excellent. Great Price/Quality relationship.
