What smartwatch do you run with? (feddit.nl)

General thread about running with smartwatches.

Why do you run with (or without) a smartwatch? Which model do you have? What functionalities do you use often or are there any that you think are redundant? Did yours ever broke down? Are the sensors accurate?

Currently I do not have any but plan to buy one, budget max 200eu. Both the garmin forerunner 245 or 55 seem like solid choices but I am open to suggestions.

Why do you run with (or without) a smartwatch?

“Miles go up, time goes down” and seeing that over time keeps me motivated

Which model do you have?

Garmin Forerunner 955

What functionalities do you use often or are there any that you think are redundant?

Functions I use: time, date, time when the sun goes up and down, heart rate, workout tracking

Functions I don’t: notifications that aren’t health related. I get those on my phone already, I don’t want to be more connected

Did yours ever broke down?

Nope, been working fine for about a year now

Are the sensors accurate?

The GPS is accurate. The heart rate feels accurate. I don’t really know if the other health related data is accurate but it’s consistent and I can work with that.
