Product Review: Garmin Forerunner 620

Garmin Forerunner 620 Product Review

This is my product review of the Garmin Forerunner 620.  I won't cover all the GPS watch's functions but I will try to cover what I feel are the most important features.  Friendly disclosure: I bought this watch with my own money; it was not sent to me by Garmin to try for a product review nor was I paid any money for this review.  To be honest I'm really not interested in doing product reviews on a regular basis for different manufacturers.  I will only review products I purchase myself that I feel others might benefit from.

I purchased this watch directly from Garmin through their website.  As of the publishing of this blogpost, the GPS watch retails for $399.99 for just the watch and $449.99 for the watch and HRM (Heart Rate Monitor).  The watch is eligible for free shipping if you choose the least expensive shipping option.  This watch is perhaps best for an intermediate to maybe even an advanced runner more interested in the advanced features this watch provides.  Many of the extra vitals are even available during a run.

I have used a Forerunner 110 since August of 2012 and so I will make frequent comparisons between the two watches.  The FR110 is a great watch in itself, especially for beginners.  I am still using my FR110 for regular workouts so I can track things like my heart rate, calorie count, and duration of my workout.
