An excellent running watch that comes highly recommended. The top accuracy and ease of use means it’s a great tool for intermediate runners looking to track training sessions. The lack of mobile support is a frustrating omission, but the web app is so rich in useful features it’s almost forgivable.

For a lot of runners - newcomers and those on a budget - this will be a really great choice. It's not flash but it does have a lot of power for its price.

Its lack of Bluetooth notwithstanding, the affordable Garmin Forerunner 15 is otherwise a great health tracking wristwatch for runners.

I'll admit, after testing the Forerunner 15, I was tempted to return the pricier Forerunner 220 I recently purchased and get this instead. If you're like me -- a runner who also wants to track activity between workouts -- the 15 is a compelling choice. It offers a surprisingly robust feature set, one that's nearly on par with the 220 (plus fitness tracking, of course). All told, too, what it does, it does well: accurate GPS tracking, combined with long battery life and timely reminders to get up and walk around. True, it doesn't bother with automatic sleep tracking, but with a design this bulky, I can't say I'd want to wear it to bed anyway.
