Review on πŸƒ Black/Blue Garmin Forerunner 620 by Chris Dildine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Impressive progress for GPS trainer

Absolutely fantastic product, have been using mine for a few months now and have logged hundreds of runs and rides. My first Garmin was the 210 which had some flaws but showed excellent potential as a GPS tracker. Slow GPS lock reception, absolutely terrible charging/data connection, mediocre display. It was a love-hate relationship until the day the display started dying. However, the Garmin 620 is a revelation in every way. It records a lot more useful data, is a great bike watch when paired with an affordable Garmin cadence sensor, charges easily, syncs data effortlessly (Wi-Fi is a godsend!), and the screen is on most Excellent lighting conditions. In a nutshell, IMHO: 1) Highly customizable 2) Suitable for both running and cycling 3) Unbeatable connectivity (both for charging and data sharing) 4) Great combination of screen size/quality and light weight. The only downside I could think of. List the price but then again you get what you pay for. Full disclosure: I've only used Garmin GPS fitness products before, so that's the benchmark I set for the 620. Upgrading to it is worth every penny.

Pros
  • Still happy
Cons
  • Not bad but...
