I'm looking to buy a running watch. Currently using an iPhone SE. Not sure if the 645 is decent. Read some issues with pairing with airbuds. I run with music 50% of the time mostly on slower runs. I want something that tracks day to day activity so counting steps and monitoring heart rate activity would be nice. What do you think?
I bought one and returned it for a variety or reasons:
- The 645 is too small (I'm 6'3" and it looked like a woman's watch on me) but since I bought it online without trying it on I was not aware how tiny it is.
- The Garmin Connect app for your phone is UTTER GARBAGE and has major problems syncing and maintaining connections to your watch. I went back to using my 225 and an old version of the software (found the APK online). I don't plan on buying another Garmin due to the pain in the a$$ syncing one has become. Just read the reviews on Google Play about how bad it is!
- There's too much junk installed that is questionable. Things like on-board V02 max testing, stress testing, etc are mickey mouse in their implementation and totally useless. They over complicate the watch
