Great all round watch but usual Garmin gripes
4This watch is brilliant if you enjoy running. It has a sensible display, the cadence tracker is both accurate and excellent and the training pace alerts are a really nice to have to save you looking at your arm all of the time. I love a touch screen but I am glad this doesn't have it as the buttons are very easy to find and use and don't act funny when wet. My only gripe is that living in zone 3 and working in central London picking up satellites quickly is a pain. I find this odd though given how quickly my phone locates me - perhaps the garmin is more accurate? Well I'm not sure given that when I compare my watch to strava, both give the same distance to 1 d.p which is fine over 10-20k (strava won't go more accurate than this). My other gripe is a classic moan at garmin - you need to download Garmin Express to register this as Garmin Connect won't. Why? Who knows. Also, the autopause software on Garmin is far too sensitive. When I look at my pace map on the computer I can see long chunks of me standing still which garmin records as me moving, because over 30 seconds I may have crossed the road. This is annoying because at the end of the run average pace pretty much means nothing. Why the software doesn't brush over this anomaly is beyond me - strava does. This means that when running in central london, I am 15 seconds quicker average on strava than garmin... So the watch is excellent, I only wish Garmin would sort out their platform.

5Easy to use and easy to read the information when running. This watch finds satellites really quick - Just turn it on and start running. I'm also impressed with the battery life and haven't needed to recharge it for the week I've owned it. Overall really impressed with the watch.

Better than I expected
5I had a FR60 before this which I had been pleased with, but it wanted to be able to view more data which the 220 does fantastically. I have been very pleased with my purchase.

Garmin at its best
5The watch is simple and easy to use - as it says on the box turn it on and go for a run. The upload to Garmin Connect via the iPhone is seamless. It found the heart rate monitor straight away. The screen is easy to read, with lots of information available to view - but I just stick with the basics. The only minor issue I have is when I go to other places, the GPS signal can take a while to connect - but no more than a minute or so. I bought this version because of the Bluetooth connectivity, my other half has the 910XT, loading onto Garmin connect is much simpler with the 220, but the functionality is a lot less. Although it is more expensive due to the Bluetooth, I would recommend it.

5Great product. After a bit of a hiccup with the payment I received the watch promptly! Very happy with the purchase & worth the money.
