Forerunner 55

Seconding the used Forerunner 55- it does all that I need it to

Garmin Forerunner 55 is perfectly adequate and cheaper

I have been using Garmin for over 10 years and recommend it over an apple watch. I was teasing a friend about him using an apple watch and convinced him to get a Garmin. My perspective is that Apple (and other smart watches) do everything pretty good. But Garmin (and possibly other running watch brands) do sports amazingly well, and everything else okay. So if you are focusing on running I would recommend getting a running specific watch. Other Garmin Pros that Apple cant do: * Has physical buttons for laps, start/stop/ light * Does instant pace/ HR distance really well * Easy to format to not get notifications to focus on running Edit * I forgot one of the best parts. I charge my Garmin once a week. Apple watch battery life is a day at max.

I would look at their website for specifics. But I think the 55 would be a good choice to start with.

I love how simple my Forerunner 55 is - very few distractions (I also dumped my apple watch). I just hate that it looks cheap, which is why I’m debating getting something else.

I just upgraded my Garmin Forerunner 55 to the 265s and I love it!
