Works well, versatile.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this watch for a year now, and I like it. It's easy to use, I mostly use it to track activities like running, biking, etc. The GPS options work well. It also works underwater for swimming laps in a pool.

Can't imagine what else I might need
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TLDR: affordable, tons of features, comfortable, durable, easy to use, JUST WORKS I bought originally to track my heart rate on my runs and stationary bike rides. On my runs, I simply start a "run" activity, and all sorts of amazing stats are gathered: heart rate, elevation gain, SPM (strides per minute), heart rate zones.... way more than I asked for, but all super interesting. On my bike trainer rides, I set my watch to broadcast my heartrate to my bike computer (Garmin Edge 25). In addition to the fitness stuff, it's been fascinating to track my sleep patterns, too. The watch is comfortable, but probably took a couple hours to get accustomed to (just not used to having any watch at all). I sleep with it on without issue. The watch is easy to clean (just run under water). This was alarming at first as it has an exposed charging port, but it's been fine. If I have one gripe, it's that the battery could last longer (goes about 3 days between charges with my normal use). But when bought on sale (or even at it's normal price), it's more than what I would expect in this price range. I can't imagine what else I could ever need in a fitness/smart watch.

Good Running Watch at a Great Watch
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Affordable GPS running watch. Had the 920xt before which was very different. Fairly easy to use. Have to get used to the. Http s and some of the new features. Created a workout on Garmin Connect and it was pretty cool how it is displayed on the watch. Only used it once, but so far I’m happy.

Great fitness tracker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this watch to use to track my walks and jogs and it’s nice so far. The only issue would be the screen seems pretty cheap in person than in the provided pictures. It still works great and I recommend it for someone looking for a fitness tracker.

Great upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought as an “emergency” upgrade from Forerunner 35 the day of a race event. The set up was incredibly easy as I already had a Garmin Connect account. Getting used to the functions has been confusing sometimes- the quick user guide isn’t as helpful as one would hope. But love the watch overall. Also, the 35 caused a weird allergic reaction from the band on my wrist which has now completely healed even though I still wear this device on same wrist.

GPS needs to be quicker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My biggest complaint about this watch is that it takes forever to pick up the GPS satellite signal. I ran today and it took around 2 minutes to pick up the signal. I need to check this some more on a closed track, but it appears that I'm getting different distance readings when running the same distance. On the positive side, although this watch has many features and functions, I only use the time and distance functions for running. It is very easy to start and stop the timer. I'm marking "No" for whether I would recommend this to a friend, but that could change once I confirm that the watch measures distances accurately.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GarminProductExpert
Posted .Please be sure you are allowing enough time before the activity begins to acquire GPS. If you are close to buildings or under trees or heavy foilage coverage it can take a few minutes longer. As well, if you begin an activity before it has acquired it will take longer for the acquisition to complete. Please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and video's on the functions of the device.

Nice watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the watch has everything I need for my work out. The only thing that can be imprpve is the sound when you have intervals, it sounds very low so with the noise around you can be a challenge to hear it besides that, super easy to use and has all features I need
