Garmin Forerunner 15 Large, Black/Blue

I have only had this watch for 2 years and I have to say the battery life is poor, (and always has been) Its NO WAY '8 hours in training mode' more like 4 then it just shuts down!! Of course I could be doing something wrong but with a watch this simple I can't see what!! I charge it fully before runs/hikes and though I like the way it works and style it would get 5 stars if it lasted as long as Garmin claims!

I love my watch it is AMAZING there’s no words to describe this watch!

This is an excellent product, I have absolutely no complaints at all. This was my first product from Garmin and I use it when ever I run. With the price I think this is a good product to use. I was looking for a GPS watch that give me reading on my pace and distance run, ease of use and sturdy. I got all this is Garmin forerunner. Read customer review on this product else where and you will know more. Their reviews are right on There are other products to use in the price range, however, I felt this has better reputation. It does not have a bluetooth so I need to connect to my computer via a cable provided. Apart from this I do not think anyone will be at loss. Data gets uploaded to Strava app seamlessly. Only once I got an issue while uploading data on Strava, but you get ample help through it's forums and good customer service. I really like the Virtul pacer function - This lets you choose a Pace you want to run and the watch beeps when you are running ahead or behind the pace set in virtual pacer. Texts are readable while running and the beep sound is loud enough for you listen while running - e.g when you are running ahead of pace set in virtual pacer or behind the pace set

Llevo ya 3 años con el reloj y puedo decir que a pesar de ser el mas económico es bastante bueno y duradero y funcional

I have been running and/or biking with varying degrees of intensity for most of my life, but this device is my first experience with an "activity tracker" more sophisticated than a stopwatch (or lately my smart phone). As such I can't give a review with much context or comparisons with other products. What I can say is that I really like the features this product has to offer. The GPS is awesome. I like the auto-pause, which stops the timer when you stop moving, for instance while waiting for a stop light, and the "lap" timer, which beeps and shows a large, easy-to-read display of your latest mile (or km) time. I like the summary of your run it displays after you finish. The menus are pretty easy to navigate, and the buttons are large and easy to operate. One small detail I like is that the device turns on instantaneously with a push of the on/off button, but turn-off requires pressing the same button for several seconds, with an on-screen count down, which prevents accidentally turning the device off at the wrong time. There are more features than I've mentioned of course, but I haven't really used them and/or they aren't important to me. It works fine for biking, especially (for my preference) if you choose to display speed instead of pace. However, if you are into counting calories, it displays them incorrectly for bike rides. I have read that if you upload your bike rides, which I haven't done, some statistics are recalculated (e.g. speed vs. pace) if you choose workout type as biking in the software, so maybe the estimated calories can be corrected. I will add that there is an available bike handlebar mount that works well, and fits my mountain bike's 31.8mm handlebar. If I have any complaints, one is that I would have liked more info in the included quick-start manual about the various settings. However, more is available online. I do believe the battery life is not really 8 hours, more like 5, but that isn't really an issue for me. It seems to take a long time to acquire the GPS signal when you start - 30 sec? - but that is really nitpicking. After a few workouts, I can tell this will be a good motivator. I need numbers to set goals, and this device gives me the basics I need - how fast and how far did I go, and how fast am I going now? I like the mile splits it shows you in a really easy-to-read display without having to fiddle with the watch, as well as the overall statistics it gives you at the end. If you want more sophisticated tracking of your progress and such, that seems to be available by uploading data, but if you're that advanced, you don't need this review. :)

Bought it a little over a month ago, loving it so far. It works just as expected and hopefully will continue to. The only bad parts I've noticed so far are that it can take a little bit to connect to the satellite for gps at certain times, usually when it's overcast or stormy outside (which would be expected in any GPS watch), and that the battery may last a little bit less time than expected. Overall amazing watch though, especially for how little it costs compared to other similar ones!
