Review on Garmin Forerunner Watch Black Renewed by Brent Henderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good Good enough for running GPS devices

The best thing about this watch is the battery life. It lasts about 6 days in a row, using the GPS function 3-4 times a week. By day 6 the watch will be on the last band but it's still very good battery life. A full charge only takes about 1 hour. When running or walking outdoors, it may take 30 to 10 seconds to get a GPS signal. While running, the running pace is pretty accurate. All other features described on the website are exactly what you get. This is a comfortable watch to wear. And probably best of all, the Garmin Connect app - once you download it to your phone - breaks everything. Your calorie intake (whether resting or active), amount of sleep, heartbeats per minute, total kilometers walked, number of steps you walked and some other exercise details. The bottom line is this; It is a refurbished watch that sells for almost half the price of a new watch. So this half-discount watch is definitely worth it if you've never bought a Garmin and don't want to spend close to $200 before knowing it's a good training investment. So far I'm happy with my Garmin. Time to go, beer thirty!
