General thread about running with smartwatches.
Why do you run with (or without) a smartwatch? Which model do you have? What functionalities do you use often or are there any that you think are redundant? Did yours ever broke down? Are the sensors accurate?
Currently I do not have any but plan to buy one, budget max 200eu. Both the garmin forerunner 245 or 55 seem like solid choices but I am open to suggestions.
Garmin Forerunner 35
it’s an older model but it checks out. i’m only running around 10 miles per week so for that it suffices. it does not track swimming which is a bummer but does allow run, walk, bike , cardio, etc., basic stuff.
Great battery life, can get 8-9 days before charge. You can sync up music which is good but I mostly run with phone anyway. i use it everyday for the last three years and had zero problems.
if I was to go more serious i would upgrade but for now it’s great.
