Better than expected!

After reading the reviews I wasn't expecting a perfect watch. So it works better than expected and the battery lasts longer than expected between charges (I feel like I only charge it 1-2 times a week? The app is easy to use. I had trouble connecting to Strava, that was the main reason i bought the watch.but in the end i think it was a strava issue and it got resolved.an added bonus for me was the pedometer!never thought i would care how many Steps I take, but I check it all the time - and it…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • not sure

Reliable running watch

This watch has been fantastic in helping me understand how I run. I'm just starting out and have been using the watch for every run for a month. Love the app integration and all the viewing features available. I wish there were more types of vibrational patterns as each change occurs in the same vibration. It would be great if I had one template for pace warnings and another for distance changes so I didn't have to look at my watch and just feel what it was telling me. Still, I would recommend…

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Hard to say

Good but not great.

The screen is not as bright white and colorful as the pictures at all! Movement speed has a huge delay (15-30 seconds). It has features I don't really care about like step tracking (seriously?). A heart rate monitor on the wrist is of course inaccurate, as we all know. I believe it can still be used with a chest monitor. I think Garmin is getting arrogant. It must be so easy for them to make a really great running watch, but they only seem to care about trivial things like music and phone…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Compatibility

Trusted Buy, Signed Long Distance Runner

It's been 1 week and I'm happy with my purchase. Battery life is good. Half a full charge lasts 5 days. Exploring the watch's interface was a little confusing, but after a day I got the hang of the features. The first night I put it on it kept buzzing and ringing giving me news and stuff. My wife kicked me out of bed and I quickly mastered the do not disturb feature. It finds the GPS signal within 5 seconds. The only downside is that it takes me a few seconds to adjust my mileage pace and it's…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall
Cons
  • Not Bad But...

What should a fitness watch be. Goodbye Fitbit!

Wow, what a watch in every way, it meets 99% of people's needs. After many weeks of comparing fitness watches, I decided on the Garmin Forerunner 235. I know it's an old model but it's still the best. . And it outperforms the newer model. Pros: Functionally it is very simple and easy to use and ready to use at 50% charge. I easily got a week as a regular fitness tracker. Then I got 12 days as a fitness tracker on a full charge. Goodbye Fitbit! Multiple watch faces, yes they have a lot to choose

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • So-so

Good watch good price.

This was my entry into the world of watches after some very disappointing experiences with cheaper watches. I really like this one, I use it for running and the occasional bike ride. So far, it's on par with GPS tracking and pace. It has several different settings while running. It is very comfortable to use, the battery life is about a week, which is what I use it for, namely training every other day. Then the rest of the time it's just normal hours. The only issue I had is that the heart rate

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some problems
