Affordable and easy to use
I'm a lifetime athlete. I was looking for a simple to use GPS watch which could tell me the time of day, how far and how fast I've walked and run. This watch does all of those things at a very affordable cost. Of course, it also pairs with my smart phone which allows me to upload my data to Garmin Connect. Although I don't really need to use many of the functions of Garmin Connect, it's nice to have; and allows me to view my daily sleep patterns. I really appreciate the fact that it uses 4 simple buttons rather than a fussy touch screen, and that it's simple screen is easy to read in bright daylight and battery life is measured in weeks rather than hours!

Great for basic needs
I specifically wanted a running watch that would track distance but NOT heart rate, connect to music, etc. For what I wanted (clearly just a basic watch) this is perfect. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazing for the price.
I've had this watch for a long time now, I believe 2 years? Unbelievably durable and functional for the price. When this one dies I will get another of this watch if possible. I recommend this watch to everyone. It is not extremely complex, the interface is very easy to learn but it does give me the data I want and links with Strava and that's exactly what I was looking for. 10/10

Recreational Use Review -- Not used for frequent running
I previously owned multiple Garmin Forerunner 10s, but when the bands kept breaking on me, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Upon receiving this watch, the band seems cheaper, but more flexible. I haven't had any trouble with the band and it is easy to fasten snugly. The main difference from the Forerunner 10 is this watch also has the ability to pair with your phone and receive text messages, Facebook messages, and calls. CANNOT ANSWER CALLS to my knowledge. Alerts pop up and then you can navigate to messages to read them on screen. The navigation of the watch is pretty basic and very similar to a Forerunner 10. Highly recommend as a cost-effective replacement to a Forerunner 10. One dislike is that the message notifications are either on or off. If the notifications are on, the watch beeps to alert you, which somewhat defeats the purpose of having it on the watch if your main goal is to be more discrete about receiving and viewing messages.

Buy this.
This watch is lightweight, easy to use, and the battery life is incredible. Use it outdoors with GPS or indoors. I thought it would be inaccurate indoors buts it's never been more than .02 off of the treadmill distance on 3 mile runs. Can't say enough about thus watch.

Great GPS watch for the money
I bought this for my son for cross country as a freshman. They recommended a GPS watch and I use the 220, but didn't want to buy him that one and this one was pretty inexpensive and gives him exactly what he needs. His current pace, a timer, and the ability to track his runs. He doesn't need all the bells and whistles and this does a great job. It does seem to take a little longer to lock on the satellites than my 220 does. Sometimes 2 minutes. Not that big a deal. I actually like the way this connects to the USB better than my 220. The clip for the 220 is cumbersome, and his just snaps right on. My son actually wears it all the time, he likes the way it looks.

Daughter loves it
This was a gift for my daughter who is a runner. She indicates that it is well built, has all the features she wants/needs, and is a good value compared to other similar products She recommends it highly.

Extremely pleased
Extremely pleased with this watch. It’s small and light, which are important features to me because I have a tiny wrist. I gave the Forerunner 35 a try and it was just too big and heavy- it was uncomfortable. I bought the watch to use for a Tough Mudder so I needed a gps watch that was, at the very least, water resistant and durable, and this device delivered. I have a minor complaint- I wish that it vibrates when I get notifications, but I can manage without. I also wish it had a heart rate monitor on the watch. I would have paid another $100 for it if it was included. But you can connect a separate device. Overall this watch is a great value for the price.

Solid purchase for entry level runners and data driven individuals
Just received this watch a few days ago and so far I love it for daily steps, running, and heart rate tracking (monitor required). The Garmin Connect app/website is pretty impressive with all the dashboards and reports it provides. If you're really into calorie counting and tracking meals, the app will sync to a MyFittness Pal account. It appears that it syncs calories consumed and burned from both apps, which I also thought was impressive. I considered purchasing a number of watches as I shopped around but eventually narrowed my list down to the Forerruner 25 and FitBit Blaze. I am extremely happy with my decision to move forward with the Forerunner.
