LOVE my new watch! I was looking for something entry level, since I've been running for less than a year. This watch has everything I wanted (splits, laps, total time, average pace in minutes/mile and speed) without breaking the bank. I run 3-5 days a week, about an hour each time, and can get through an entire week's training without needing a charge. Garmin Connect (the app) is fantastic and gives all the info I was used to seeing from similar apps like RunKeeper and Map My Run that I had previously used on my phone. I have two minor complaints, but nothing so bad that I'd not recommend this watch. First is that it's a little bulky on the wrist - it doesn't bother me when running, but it means I don't wear the watch when I'm not running. Second, I live in WI which means that I'm running in several layers of clothing about four months out of the year. This watch will not fit around my wrist on top of those layers. I have to expose skin between my sleeve and my glove or hide the watch under the layers where I can't see it. Still would definitely highly recommend this as an entry level running watch!
