    So a GPS is good for you because you can use it to monitor pace, and you ran better because of it .... but it's bad for HS kids? That makes no sense.

    I'm around a lot of HS/MS kids, and constantly looking at the watch is not a problem - especially in races. Believe it or not, you can actually coach kids to use the GPS the same way you did.

    nowhere did i say that GPS is "bad" for HS kids. calm down. if the kids can afford it, great, by all means. what i was trying to say is that there are a lot of other things kids could do to improve or get more out of running before dropping the coin on a garmin.

    And, no...I don't run with music. I only listen to music during stretching, drills and strides.

    Why don't you? You obviously enjoy music, including during activities where you should be focused on the actual training like drills.

    I’ve had my eye on a 245 music for a while now. I had an old Forerunner 220 that was awesome and when that finally died I had a Vivoactive 3. The Vivoactive seemed accurate enough, and I liked the Bluetooth functionality, but in less than three years it went from holding a charge for multiple days to not being able to make it through a full work day and still have enough juice for a half hour run. Was this a fluke or am I right to be a little gunshy on another Garmin?

    Not a fluke, my 245 music battery life was noticeably worse than my 230. Switched to a coros apex and the battery life has been really solid. All I’m really looking for in a watch is battery life, pace, and distance and it hits those marks really well.
