Love my previous 305 that i used for 7 years this 620 puts it to shame. Lightweight, comfortable hrm strap, auto lap, calories, steps, elevation. Waterproof for swimming! Have not tried but website does say it is.

I use it daily, both as my everyday watch and a GPS watch. The HRM is very helpful for training plans.
The down side is that searching for GPS signal can take several minutes, occasionally.

Very expensive for features that even advanced runners don't know what to do with. I wish I would've bought the cheaper forerunner. I'm just a mediocre runner, but I have a problem always buying the most expensive version of something. Also the garmin connect kind of sucks, you can't adjust the watch settings from your computer. My old gps watch is a timex ironman, and I could adjust anything I wanted when it was connected to my computer. It does connect to GPS satellites rather quickly though, which is nice.

Enjoy running with this watch. The HRM helps and the VO2 estimate is great. Had a few times with iffy satellites, but near a lot of buildings.

First, I am a Garmin fan, and this does not disappoint. Upgraded from an old 305, and this is very nice. Finds satellites quickly and is supremely user-friendly. Lots of design improvements over the 305. All in all, A+ so far. Have had it about a month.

The unit powers up and acquires satellites quickly. It is lightweight and I like the features. Takes a bit to figure it out, but that is difficult to avoid when it is laden with features. Happy with the product!

This is a great training aid. It is pretty accurate GOS wise and it's the most accurate heart rate monitor I've ever used. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-end training aid.

Couldn't be happier with both the product and the purchase process. The new available data for running dynamics will make a big difference!

I really love all the features and the touchscreen is a plus. This is an upgrade from my previous Garmin which was a Forerunner 405CX.

Three months after I purchased different things didn't work. Was constantly losing signals in places I never lost signal with my inexpensive Forerunner 10. Timer - would display that and it would stop counting down. VO2 Max - totally stopped. Had a friend with a really high VO2 Max run with it and it didn't budge. Called Garmin and they sent me a replacement. A refurbished watch. Again, about 2 months in, keeps losing signal. I ran with both my Forerunner 10 and my refurbished 620 at the same time. The Forerunner 10 never lost signal whereas the 620 did.
When this really stops working, which I am sure will right after my warranty runs out, I'm checking out Polar.

This watch works very well. The only downside is the mytracker feature where you send an email to a friend so they can watch your stats. You have to have you phone with you at all times for them to watch you live online.
