Great running watch

I've had a few GPS watches and this is by far my favourite. First off, I'd like to say that this watch's rating on Amazon is only a 3.7, but if you look closely, most of the lower ratings were received earlier this year and were due to connectivity issues (especially with the Music model). It seems Garmin has already fixed this, so all subsequent reviews have been very good. Most GPS watches today are too big for runners with small wrists (and many distance runners have small wrists!).

Dead after 20 months

Update after 20 months: Clock is dead. The battery will be dead within 5 hours if the device is not in GPS mode. Would be happy to get an hour in GPS mode. This is my second consecutive Garmin device that has died about 20 months after purchase and I have serious doubts about the reliability and quality of the Garmin devices. From this point of view. Pros: Smaller, looks like a regular watch on my thin runner wrist. Smartwatch Features. The heart rate monitor is actually useful, always on andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Negative present

Amazing watch on paper, almost living up to the hype

I love listening to music while logging my runs and a few years ago I got my Garmin Forerunner 305 paired with replaced an MP3 player with a smartphone. I really hate carrying my phone while running and was looking for a solution to leave it at home, so I was very excited to see this watch on paper. When I first started reading reviews and trawling the forums I was very skeptical. Many have pointed out issues with music skipping, clock freezing/rebooting, and general firmware issues. Howeverโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Boring packaging

Real review without paying: Yes, get the music version.

This is a fantastic watch. I paid $289 before tax because I was patient. I received the 645 Music version and was not disappointed. Here are a few things that stand out to me. Fon, I'm quite a tech savvy/savvy guy. But this is my first "smart watch" because I found these products to be stupid. But a training/running watch? different story Especially since I don't want to walk around with my cell phone. I work in surgery in a big hospital. Buttons I like that there are buttons here, not aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Communication with seller
