    Purchased this watch to keep track of my fitness. I use it more for logging in activity such as running. I love the color, it's my favorite! Easy to navigate once you get use to it. This was the first Garmin product I have purchased. It's been a great watch for what I need it for however, one of the buttons did come off. I contacted Garmin and was able to get it fixed with no hassle. I ended up giving my son my forerunner 45 and upgraded to the forerunner 245. Great watches! Love Garmin products.

    Excellent update to Forerunner 220: same ease of use, much bigger numbers, much better display. And the silicone strap is superb.

    I mean its a sports watch that tells you all the important things you need it to ...but it concentrates on what method of movement; run, hike, treadmill, bicycle,...and if you're trying to get back to the music tab, good luck. I recommend you buy the more expensive Garmin with the Spotify option if you listen to Slayer/KRS-ONE while you enjoy nature.
