5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it’s supposed to!
After reading lots of negative reviews about this product, I went ahead and purchased it due to its good price point. So, after owning several Garmin gps and non-gps watches, here is my opinion.This is a gps watch for running. The display is large and shows you what you need to know when running: time, pace, and distance. The gps tracker is accurate. It found a signal quickly. I ran on a familiar route with mile markers, and the watch was spot on, even in the rain. It is easy to use, and does exactly what a gps watch should do.It links to the Garmin connect app and shows a map of your completed route, your heart rate zones, lap times, elevation change, cadence, and of course your pace, distance, and time. It also has walking and workout (and swimming, I think) modes which I haven’t used.When not in exercise mode, the watch constantly tracks your steps, heart rate, and at night your sleep. These too will sync to the Garmin connect app so you can track your trends.Okay, so this watch doesn’t have a touch screen or backlight, and you can’t answer your phone calls or play music or connect to the internet or anything like that. You can get it to link to your mobile phone and show you notifications such as texts, Instagram messages, and I guess any other notifications you get on your phone.Some users have complained at the lack of features on this watch, but I think it is just fine. It is an accurate gps watch that will give you lots of data about your run and track your heart rate, steps, and sleep. It will also show you your phone notifications. The charge lasts about two weeks for me, and it doesn’t take too long to recharge it. Sure, if you want a touch screen computer on your wrist that will talk to you, open your garage door, and order Chinese takeout, you can get an Apple Watch or a very expensive Garmin model. But if you just want a basic gps watch that tracks your stats and gives you accurate data on your runs, then this is an great, inexpensive option.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch for the price.
Synopsis: Overall, this is a good, basic running/ fitness watch that makes a nod at also being a smart watch. There is nothing flashy here. The watch doesn't do color, just back and silver/white on the display. For those who have used or who remember the traditional Kindles, this is actually pretty nice in terms of contrast as it is easy to ready in low light and high light conditions. In the dark, you still need the light from the lighting button. Unless you are a pro/ elite level runner who will use the advanced features of the higher end watch offerings from Garmin or their competitors, or are someone who doesn't mind paying an absurd amount for a the latest tech gadget, this watch is more than adequate when paired with external sensors such as the HRM Run. As you read this, please bear in mind that I haven't had the opportunity to run the higher end models, so my only points of comparison are the spec sheets and the price points. I will try to avoid providing second hand anecdotal evidence for or against them.What's Good:-- The weight. This watch is very light. Unlike my dive watches and other larger, necessarily robust watches, this guy is light enough that I don't feel a need to take it off to type or when doing wood work (both activities that involve repetitive motions that become annoying with larger watches on. For those who mind having something heavy on your wrist during a run, that won't be an issue with this watch.-- The Band. The silicon band that comes with the watch seems to be robust and is stretchy and comfortable. I have had sport watches in the past that became uncomfortable in hot conditions after a while as moisture built up under the bands making them itchy or painful. To date, I have had no such problems with this watch. I also like the securing ring on the band which has a tooth on the inside to lock it into one of the fitment holes. The stretchiness is important as you need the watch snug/tight to adequately place the optical heart rate monitor.-- The Smartwatch functions. I don't own an apple watch (which wouldn't work with my phone anyway) or a Gear S3, so I don't have a basis for first hand comparison. However, I have observed the frustration of my friends and family with such devices when trying to use them for input tasks (two way communications with the cellular device.) This watch passes on notifications from your phone, but you have no ability to respond with it. For me, this is the best of both worlds. I get to keep situational awareness while avoiding getting caught up in the minutia of responding with a yet smaller computer interface. This is a personal preference, but I do like the way it works. It is also nice that notifications turn off during a run.-- The interface. The UI (User Interface) is menu driven. It took me only a few minutes to get used to it, so it has to be fairly simple. Overall, it is intuitive once you absorb the designer's logic, you just have to be patient. It does not have a touch screen, so you have to use the buttons. This isn't a problem for me.-- The GPS. Because this is a lower end offering, the watch only uses the GPS constellation and not the GLONASS constellation (Russian GPS). As a result link up times are a little slower and accuracy can be degraded as the US places a mandatory limit on how accurate civilian GPS instruments can be (its a strategic thing.) Overall, this watch isn't too bad. At the end of my recent runs, the watch is generally off by about .03 to .05 miles from my phone which uses both locating systems and you can see the differences in the map. Part of this is, I am sure, due to the frequency of updates which is not user changeable unlike on the higher end devices (I would love to minimize the time between fixes.)-- External Sensors. You can still use external sensors with this watch. I love this feature as I prefer the HRM Run over the watch which has its own accelerometer. This becomes very nice when I'm pushing my daughter in a running stroller. For bikers, you could also use a cadence sensor.-- Movement Tracker. I like to track steps. As a teacher though, I take everything out of my pockets when I get in front of a class so I don't fidget with it, so its nice that the phone will continue tracking for me. Its also nice that it will tell me if I've been sitting too long. This is good for two reasons. Research shows that you start to lose focus and effectiveness after about 50 minutes of continuous concentration, so its a reminder to take a break (the movement bar seems to ping after about 45 to 50 minutes). Its also a great reminder to remain active instead of just sitting there like a lump on a log.-- Battery life. The phone is advertised as having up to a 13 day battery life. I haven't seen it. However, it does seem to last about 5 days with workouts which draw significantly more power than standard operation.-- Charging. The charging of this device is impressive. My first forerunner, the venerable F405, had to charge on a cradle that was poorly designed and didn't positively engage the device. Over time, the connections would degrade and eventually stop working. The new version uses a clip that actively clamps onto the watch. Even with oxidation, it should last a long time. The other part of the equation is the speed of charging. In this aspect, the watch charges very quickly. My personal experience is that a full charge takes less than 1 hour. So if I'm at my desk and notice that my watch is low, I can put it on to charge and have it back on my wrist in time for my next break.What's not?-- User control. The sacrifice you make to get a robust watch is that you sacrifice control. You can still adjust view fields on the exercise screens, but can't change how often the watch takes position fixes which would affect accuracy. There are some other little niggly bits of control that are sacrificed as well, but they are well hidden. Now, that having been said, how much control does the average user really need? If you ask the fruit company, they will tell you not much.-- Accuracy. As mentioned with the pros, the watch is not quite as accurate as I have come to expect from my phone. However, it is within the tolerance of the system so really, how much are you missing?-- User feedback. The watch does not provide the same level of feedback as the higher level watches. Such esoteric values as VO2, Lactate threshold, expected recover time, and foot contact time simply are not measured. Now, here's the thing. If you are an elite level athlete or a professional, or have a personal coach that actually cares about this stuff, you might care. If you are an every day runner or biker out for fitness and fun or a weekend warrior out to train for your local half, do you really need that extra information and will it be of benefit to you? This is a question you have to ask yourself. My answer was clearly no. Now that having been said, the higher end watches all rely on the chest strap sensor to develop those metrics. Would it be possible for Garmin to move the calculation muscle to your paired analysis device (computer or smart phone)? Well, the answer is that there is nothing technically in the way, so clearly it is a selling point for their higher end lines. Will it show up on Garmin Connect in the future? Who knows.-- Limited activities. The watch has limited workout options: Run outdoor, Run indoor, Bike, Cardio, and Walk. If you are looking for something that will track your cross fit WOD, this may not be your baby. Nor is it really designed to track golf, basketball, Frisbee golf, ultimate Frisbee or weight lifting as separate activities. Of course, most of the devices that are built around that desired capability are not reported to work well in that application. If you really want something that has specialized tracking capabilities for a wide variety of sports, by all means, pay for the higher end models.-- Garmin Connect. Perhaps I'm just getting used to it, but Garmin Connect has some issues in the way that it appears on my phone. It tends to be difficult to navigate and can be hard to get it to sync.-- Only two potential watch faces. There are two built in watch faces and there are no options to be able to create your own. This would be worse if I cared more, but I personally like the simple, in your face faces that are standard with the watch. The higher end watches have infinitely adjustable faces.Wrap up. Over all, I am very happy with this watch. It is the rare blend of having most of the features that I wanted and all of the capabilities that I need, while maintaining a reasonable price point without having to turn to the factory reconditioned items that may have been a lemon to begin with. I highly recommend this watch/ fitness tracker. If you don't believe me, check out the consumer reports review of this watch.
ótimo CxB
UM dos melhores custo beneficio. Marca tudo que voce precisa saber em um treino de bike/esteira/corrida ...e com uma excelente eficacia!
Brilliant
I used to wear a Fitbit. I purchased this a couple of weeks ago and totally love it.The GPS is spot on and this gives Mr a more accurate daily Calorie count. Eg I walked 14.5 km today and my daily total will end up 3500 kcal. Fitbit would inflate that to a ridiculous 4500 or 5000.This has all the simple stats I need and I prefer buttons to touch screen so this is ideal. If you want something more complex (I do not) then be like me wife and get the Samsung Watch.Me... I'm sticking with this Garmin. I love it!!!
La pila dura muchísimo
Recibí este reloj el 14 de Agosto y ese día lo cargué, hoy es 27 de Agosto y aún tiene una rayita de pila, eso para mi es super bueno porque luego me olvido de cargarlos. Tiene buena precisión en la medición del ritmo cardíaco, no es touch ni pantalla a color, funciona con los botones laterales y es blanco y negro, para mi es más que suficiente porque para lo que lo necesito cumple su función perfectamente. La aplicación te muestra ciertas cosas interesantes como cuánto duermes, cantidad de sueño profundo y ligero, calorías quemadas, tiempo de actividad y algunas otras monerías. Me ha encantado mi reloj :)
Excelente reloj para quienes practican ciclismo
Yo compré este reloj buscando un reloj que pudiera medir con precisión mis recorridos en bicicleta. Me gusta que su GPS integrado me permite salir de casa sin el celular y aún así me da todas las estadísticas que necesito. Cuando lo conectas con la aplicación movil de "Garmin connect" puedes ver a detalle tu el mapa de tu recorrido, diferentes gráficas de velicidad, ritmo cardiaco, elevación, entre otras.Este reloj es uno de los más básicos de Garmin. Sólo puedes medir los siguientes tipos de ejercicio:CiclismoCorrerCaminarCardioLos he usado todos y funciona bastante bien. El único que no me queda claro cómo funciona es el de Cardio pues, entiendo que es para rutinas de gym, pero a veces lo uso para saltar la cuerda, hacer HIIT o hacer yoga. Ahí sí no sé que tan preciso sea pero aún en ese modo me parece que las estimaciones son buenas.La batería le dura muchísimo y dado que yo lo apago por las noches le dura aún más. Yo creo que lo recargo una vez a la semana.Hasta ahora llevo 4 meses con él y no me ha dado ningún problema. Lo único que no me gusta es que no tiene la opción de cronómetro, sólo cuando estas en médio de una actividad física.
