Review on Garmin Forerunner 210: Water Resistant GPS Watch (Multicolor), Heart Rate Monitor Excluded [Discontinued Model] by Darnell Golden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like it but Garmin is still too proprietary for regular iOS apps

The watch is comfortable and easy to use. The GPS function is very accurate and much better than what my iPhone 5S logs for my workouts. However, the Garmin hardware is quite proprietary and doesn't work well with other applications. If you want to sync data to iPhone directly, you can't use this watch. You have to sync it with a clumsy USB adapter clip that can't stay in place when connected to the phone, and Garmin's website for syncing and downloading the required computer apps is very complicated and can't do the half find the apps I need. If you have other Garmin products and want to add them to your accessories this works great. For those of you who want to sync straight to your phone or mobile app, this is definitely not for you. I've found Wahoo Blue products to better suit my needs and work very well with my mobile app choices.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Very expensive
