The Garmin 010-02156-05 Forerunner is an exceptional sports watch that has greatly enhanced my fitness tracking and training experience. This watch offers an array of features that are perfect for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
Firstly, the GPS tracking on the Forerunner is incredibly accurate. Whether I'm running, cycling, or hiking, the watch consistently provides precise distance, pace, and route information. This allows me to track my progress and set specific goals for each workout. The built-in heart rate monitor is also highly accurate and provides real-time heart rate data, helping me optimize my training and monitor my overall fitness level.
The Forerunner's battery life is impressive. Even with continuous GPS and heart rate monitoring, the battery lasts for several days on a single charge. This is especially beneficial for long-distance runners or multi-day outdoor adventures. The watch also charges quickly, which is convenient for those moments when you need a quick power boost before heading out.
The watch's design is sleek and comfortable to wear. The display is easy to read, even in direct sunlight, and the touchscreen is responsive and user-friendly. The watch is also water-resistant, making it suitable for swimming or other water-based activities.
The Forerunner offers a wide range of activity tracking features. It accurately counts steps, tracks sleep patterns, and even provides advanced metrics such as VO2 max and training load. The watch also offers smart notifications, allowing me to receive calls, texts, and other alerts directly on my wrist, without needing to pull out my phone.
One of the standout features of the Forerunner is the Garmin Connect app. This app seamlessly syncs with the watch, allowing me to review and analyze my workouts, set goals, and compete with friends. The app provides detailed insights into my training progress, helping me make informed decisions about my workouts and overall fitness journey.
Overall, the Garmin 010-02156-05 Forerunner is a top-notch sports watch that delivers on performance and functionality. Its accurate GPS tracking, long battery life, and comprehensive activity tracking features make it a valuable tool for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Whether you're a casual runner or a professional athlete, this watch will undoubtedly elevate your training and help you achieve your fitness goals.
A lot of the displays could use work. Things aren't labeled. None of the graphs scale at all, so they look totally flat w/ just 2 pts labeled (e.g. heartrate is just s wiggly line at about 0.15 on whatever scale it is, whether my pulse is 49 or 115 it looks the same).
The "moveIQ" feature just doesn't work as well as a fitbit; it isn't customizable, and it tells me I need to move while I'm mid walk or doing yardwork, and then it says "move bar cleared" when I'm sitting motionless. That needs work!
Not to pile on, but w/ no phone paired/no bluetooth, and default settings (~1.5s backlight, gps only during runs, heartrate on), I get like 3.5d of battery life instead of the claimed 7d.
OK, that may sound negative, but overall it's hands down the best I've had for running. Just the rest of the (less important) stuff needs some (mostly software) work.
It isn't too big (I got the 45s as I have tiny wrists for a dude). I think there's a lot of potential here, and "fresh from the box" it does what I need for running. The pc/web apps work fine and have lots of info (again, graph scaling is terrible; c'mon guys the code for this has been public since before any of y'all were born, it's not hard). It seems to do well on route logging, distance, pace, etc. although I haven't tried to rigorously calibrate it (just using it's defaults, but it seems ok so far).
So, very high marks for a casual runner. If I really wanted a lifestyle fitness monitor I'd probably pick a fitbit, like my wife uses tho. But I expect this will improve (already a lot of s/w updates, some pretty substantial).
---- followup---
I'm increasingly skeptical of the heart rate monitor accuracy. It says my sleeping HR is 41-45; pretty sure I'd be dead? walking across the room it frequently says 115. reading? anywhere from 51-90..wth? Lifting for 45m? 65 while lifting but randomly jumping to 100+ when I'm resting for a longer break. I'm exactly avg size/wt for adult male, and in "meh" shape after 2020-21, very casual run/lift a couple times a week. In the past i've checked and gotten much more reasonable & consistent HR (60-65 resting, ~100+exercising, etc.) manually. Still happy w/ the running watch time & distance & logging tho.
Top reviews from other countries
The battery life is excellent and it can go for a number of days without recharging. However, one of the minor issues I have with this watch over the 35 is that I have to take it off to charge it as the charger plugs into the back. With the 35, the charger kind of clipped on the side so I could continue wearing it while charging. I typically charged it when working by simply plugging it into my laptop.
The Forerunner 45 was also easy to pair with my phone and gives me notifications for emails, texts, incoming calls, etc. However, I do find the display on this watch a bit harder to read than the 35. There is more info to see and the text is smaller on this watch. But, I am on the older side, so any younger users with better eyesight may not have any issues with this.
Overall, this is an excellent, basic, fitness and smart watch. And with the built in GPS at this price level, it can't be beat.
