Good value, some wristband issues, but still the best running GPS I've used.
I've used several generations of Garmins, Apple watch 2 and 3, but this Garmin is my primary device for running because I think it's the best of the bunch and works best with Strava.Pros in General:- Ease of use. If I want to run, I am up and running in just as much time as it takes for a GPS lock, from 5 seconds to a minute usually.- Accuracy. I notice this watch is very accurate for me. I am using it in Central Oregon and the San Jose area of California.- Battery Life. It lasts a while. I can use it two days in a row without battery problems.Pros When Compared to Apple Watch Series 2 and 3:- Perhaps this is because I mainly use Strava app, but I find the Strava app on Apple Watch does not work well. I notice Apple watch allows me to run even before GPS lock, so I'm not quite sure when GPS lock occurs, then I start running and sometimes I get odd results for the first mile.- The physical buttons on this watch are nice when my hands are sweaty. The touch screen on the apple watch gets hard to touch when I am sweaty.- Accuracy. With apple watch I am plus or minus 0.4 miles sometimes on a half marathon. With the Garmin it has yet to be more than 0.2 miles.Cons of this Garmin- Forced Garmin Connect integration. I don't like the Garmin connect app due to the auto updates and sometimes bad syncs. When uploading to Strava, I actually just plug in my watch and manually copy the activity file to my desktop and upload it that way- Wrist strap is flakey if you use the same hole each time, after several months the rubber cross bar thing above the hole I use each time is about to break. Picture attached.Overall a great watch and I would likely buy again. But due to the rubber band about to come apart, I give 4 stars rather than 5.
