Review on Garmin Forerunner 25 Large Black GPS, Finders & Accessories by Bradley Wacks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointing on sports and handheld GPS

I really like the size and functionality of this watch. When I use it on my runs I have no problems. But when it comes to syncing and downloading files after an activity, that's a whole different issue. At least once a week, if not more often, the map and mileage information is not syncing or uploading to Garmin Connect or Strava due to match file corruption. I've called Garmin several times about this and they've never really gotten an answer as to why this is happening. I've had a Forerunner 10 for a long time and this has never happened. My friends who have other Garmin models rarely have trouble syncing or uploading files to Strava or Garmin Connect. I love looking at my running info after watching how I move etc which makes this watch very frustrating. This happens most often during my long marathon workouts when this information is most useful. If I could turn back time, I would order a different model. There's something wrong with that. Disappointing.
