Anyone use a GARMIN gps running watch?



Recommended Posts

Have been looking into getting a Garmin watch & not sure which I like. The 10 & 15 look very similar, and then there is the 220 ... any thoughts?? Like or dislike them?? Birthday money is burning a hole in my pocket!! :)

I dont' have a watch, but I have a Garmin Vivofit 2. I love mine. It does have a clock function and I believe GPS, but I have been running on the treadmill so I'm not sure. It has a function where you can time your activity as well as just counting your steps. I bought mine because I can wear it swimming, which besides running is my main cardio activity.

I don't know if that helps.

I use a forerunner 10 when I run. I love it! I run intervals a lot and I like the fact that I can set a run/walk interval and it will beep when I change from running to walking so I don't have to keep checking my watch. It has all the functions I need for my activity. I would definitely recommend it for a good entry level gps watch

I have a Forerunner 405, which I love. Whatever watch you get, make sure it comes with and that you get the heart rate monitor. It really helps you to keep pushing yourself or know when you're overdoing it.

Love my vivofit also! I did get the heart monitor strap too but I don't always wear it. Still counts my steps and time if I don't have the strap on (though I intend to - I just keep forgetting!)

I have the forerunner 230 and a separate heart strap. I wear it all day long since it gives smart phone and only wear the heart strap if exercising. I have Garmin Connect, my fitness pal and map my fitness apps all interconnected. I love it and helps me to keep track of everything.

Love my Vivfit 2 because it is waterproof. I can swim and shower with it on without a problem. My husband got me the watch bands in different colors, so I can chane it up. The Vivofit also pairs up with their free app called " Connect" so you can log your exercise and communicate with other users.

I've had my Garmin 310xt for about 3 years now. I love it! I use it for cycling/running/hiking/etc. It's good for multisport, but if I was ONLY going to use something for running, I'd get a different model.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
