I've used this watch for 4 years and continue finding new features that I love. Great GPS running watch that is a step above basic without being too bulky. Highly recommend the nylon band too.

Great for a beginner. Cheap. Not perfect and doesn't have all the bells and whistles but lasts a long time and integrates with everything.

RIP to my Garmin Forerunner - you lasted me years on the road and trail. If I could afford another, I'd replace it, but I have since switched to Coros.
