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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
