Overview
Tracking runs on the wrist is the job of this Garmin watch, which is controlled with push buttons. It is a 2021 model in a small square case, with Bluetooth for a smartphone.
Choose it for a small, light case and a screen that stays readable outdoors. The limit is the data: water resistance, sensors and phone models are all missing.
Who it's for
Running, cardio and general fitness tracking are the sports named in the listing. Swimmers and those who want music or a larger map display should look at a different Garmin.
Pros and cons
- Three satellite systems
- Long battery life
- Water resistance not listed
- Phone models are not named
- Sensor list is not given
Performance notes
Using more than one satellite system can speed up lock and improve track accuracy in built-up areas. The screen is described as sunlight-visible, which matters when reading pace and distance outdoors.
