Garman Forerunner 50
This is a great product if you are into running. It is no good for everyday workouts. The product arrived very quickly and was new in the box.

Efficient and easy to use
The Garmin forerunner is a great product, on an overall level. It will only track your HR when you exercise, though, no other metrics.

Don’t buy it!
I received the FR50 as an Xmas gift. I used it twice between Xmas and surgery in the first week of January.

Usually works but with problematic flaws
It should work so I’ll save space and not mention what works (as it all should work and Garmin doesn’t get bonus points for a product doing what it is supposed to do).

great replacement for my old Polar heart rate monitor
I bought this to replace an old heart rate monitor. I love the wealth of features in the watch, compared to my old watch that just displayed my heart rate.

So so, not dependable. No GPS.
I got this to replace an old Polar Heart rate mon.
POLAR was much more dependable for heart rate. This thing tended to lose the signal.

Dynamite Garmin
If you have any of the Garmin GPS products, this is a great compliment to those devices, especially for bikers who like to have additional feedback on their wrist.

I bought the garmin 50 watch with heart monitor to help with my marathon training. I quickly learned that without the foot pod my experience was limited.
