Love my Forerunner!

Although I'm still getting used to my Garmin forerunner and still finding new features, I'm incredibly pleased with what I've experienced so far. The activities I monitor seem much more accurate than other tracking devices I've used in the past. Accuracy of data is so important when assessing how well you're doing with the plan.

good solid functionality

Bought this as a replacement for my 45s and I'm really enjoying the update. I particularly like the additional activity types and the enhanced smartwatch capabilities over the 45, and that it now works as well for my indoor activities as it does when I go for a run.

Another Great Forerunner

I've had my new Forerunner 70 for about 3 weeks and like is so far. It has a better screen than the Forerunner 245 it replaced, and better battery life even when using GPS. The one teeny gripe is that it still uses the Garmin proprietary connector that needs frequent cleaning in order to get the charging cable to electrically connect reliably.

Entirely customizable

This is my first Garmin. It said this model was entry level however, the program and stats it provides is abundant. I was shocked to see that when I logged my weight training it knew which primary and secondary muscles I targeting without selecting it. I appreciate that I can add my running and trail shoes to the workouts so I'm not having to guess when I should replace them. The buttons are easy to negate as well as the touch screen. I like that I can personalize what I can see on the main clock face. I can't hear the alarm tones due to my partial hearing loss, but the watch allows me to turn off the tone and only have the vibration setting, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, I'm impressed with how much you're able to customize it to your preference and how much detail it provides for workouts, hikes, or runs.

Great features

This product is amazing. Battery lasts forever, very accurate results. I've been using the running features to plan workouts. This watch has everything.

Love the coach feature.

I bought this watch about a month ago and I love it. For some reason it gave me motivation to run and stay consistent. As a new runner the coach feature was really nice to help me get some structure to my running.

Great watch and perfect for what I need.

Great watch and perfect for what I need. Dont run, but I do quite a bit of biking and hiking and it keeps these in check and shares them on Stava. Also great a checking my sleep patterns and heart rate at various times in the day. So far the battery life is great. My only issue compared to my last Garmin watch is that the sleep alarm does not seem to wake me up like the other one.

Great watch

I bought the watch a month ago and it is perfect for my needs. It is easy to set up and use, and has updated features compared to my previous forerunner 45. In addition, Garmin gave me a substantial discount because the lug broke on my 7 year old forerunner 45 that was clearly out of warranty. I highly recommend this watch and Garmin.

Honest Review

I honestly love Garmins. I've used them for the last 20 years running. I have owned several different models.This one is less intuitive. I have been a little overwhelmed with trying to figure out all the features on the watch and finding corresponding app information. I'm sure with a little bit more time I'll figure it all out. I've gone running with it lots of times and it seems to be super accurate and at least that part is easy. Using it for gym workouts has been complicated. All of the feedback it gives me is so so. A little hard to interpret and really look at deeply. The sleep recording is hit or miss. I wear it all the time and sometimes it doesn't record the sleep at all.

Okay I guess

I like the watch, however, I'm still trying to get use to it . I like the upgraded features especially locking when I'm not using to avoid unintentional starts of workouts. That use to really get on my nerves with my old watch. The one thing I'm having issues with is the disconnecting with my phone. I've only had my watch for about a month and I already had to reconnect or pair with my phone twice. I need to pair it again but just haven't set aside the time to do so.
