WorkinOnMe 596 Posted January 26, 2016 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mngreeneyes 674 Posted January 26, 2016 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. pam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIMISAN 404 Posted January 26, 2016 I have the Garmin Vivofit 2 also. So far I really like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stacyrg1 90 Posted January 26, 2016 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leepers 1,195 Posted January 27, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisee68 2,493 Posted January 27, 2016 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!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geogeo 1 Posted January 29, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyrita 188 Posted January 30, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catfish87 3,471 Posted February 1, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
