Garmin Forerunner 15 Large - Pros & Cons

entry-level stuff is just fine
Backcountry & Competitive Cyclist offer free 2-day shipping
incredibly informative and well-written reports
very helpful and fair - both to the brand and the reader

it has made it a lot easier to understand
The device was a pleasure to use
they are intuitive and super easy to use
It s very handy
provided accurate tracking
stable pace readouts
affordable GPS running-watch as well as a decent activity tracker
easy to put on and comfortable to have strapped around your wrist

all data is lost once the battery is depleted
your HR will usually fluctuate a little bit with terrain
the battery time is a little less than advertised
slow GPS lock
no Bluetooth in it
Forerunner 15 does not sync directly with the mobile app for iOS and Android
limited data field options and the inability to create custom workouts
lack of added fields isn t a big deal
It s not as fast as my 620 at locking satellites
Tiny icons (a backward arrow
Forerunner 15 is not the most high-tech watch in terms of design
Overtly sporty design
it has a slightly shorter battery life
15's buttons were not easy to understand at first
Garmin Connect loses some value for me
barely a dent in the battery life icon on the display
can access Garmin Connect
Garmin Connect loses some value
no option to turn off auto save or increase the time
