    Garmin fenix 2 GPS Watch

    • The good: price point (half the cost of a fenix 3), fairly accurate GPS and HRM, decent battery life, ability to configure data displays for individual activities, short learning curve for field use, decent GPS functionality (waypoints, etc), lots of ways to set alarms and alerts, works with ant+ devices.
    • Best GPS/HRM
    • Bunch of different modes and good battery life and GPS signal and smartphone integration
    • Probably the best watch/portable GPS I've ever seen/used/heard of!
    • Problems: battery doesn't last ( even when fully charged) , gps is flaky, and distances are almost always measured too long
    • GPS has been accurate for me, I can use my footpod for pace (far more accurate than GPS), and fast lock on with the wifi upload to my phone.3. Form
    • It's an expensive "atomic/gps" clock that loves to reboot when I try to run with it
    • The GPS on this watch is solid.
    • By far, the best gps watch!!
    • The GPS sucks, but the altimeter and compass work average
    • An amazing GPS watch
    • Dont have a clue how GPS works or its limits.
    • GPS is decent.
    • Functions are good while it works, GPS is accurate up to a 10km distance
    • If you are looking for a good GPS for multisport I recommend purchasing from another company.
    • Part of the problem appears to be that Garmin is using cheap GPS chips made by MediaTek in their new watches, as opposed to the better SiRFstar chips used in their older watches and many of their competitors current offerings
    • I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a good multipurpose gps tracking watch
    • Fast GPS connection even when I'm in the middle of no where
    • Croatia!Swimming with the watch is fun, although it looses GPS signal every once in a while, but that's expected.
    • But if you are like me and want an inexpensive, gps/hrm watch that covers the basics for hiking, biking and running, this is a pretty good buy at two hundred bucks
    • (I have learned that one workaround is to turn off the vibrate mode, but I have yet to test this out in the field over multiple tries).In short, I'm done with Garmin products until they can build an accurate GPS watch that isn't buggy
    • This one is a tad on the bulky side, however it has a very comfortable heart rate monitor, very accurate GPS and the signal is quicker than older forerunners.
    • Bad GPS, no way for track back function
    • GPS works great
    • It's an expensive "atomic/gps" clock that loves to reboot when I try to run with it
    • This is by far the Best GPS
    • I have not extensively tested the issues others have reported regarding the loss of tracking, inaccurate GPS tracks, the battery dying or timer / distance reseting after 2-3 hours.
    • A stellar watch starting out, though not such a great GPS performer
    • The Garmin Fenix 2 was indeed a great GPS watch for me as a hiker
    • Losing GPS signal from the top of a mountain with perfectly clear skies and a clear 360° view of the
    • This is the most difficult and convoluted GPS watch
    • More importantly the GPS is very accurate, probably within a couple of seconds per mile (for example: watch says you ran a mile in 5:00 the actual time is ~ 4:58-5:02)Battery life should be more than adequate for the most
    • In conclusion, if your desires are for extremely long battery life, chest-strap HRM, and decent GPS...then yes, spend $200 on this watch.
    • The watch is also very large; about the same size as a G-Shock watch
    • nice, all in one, powerful featuresvalue for moneybest sport / g p s watch i have everhighly recommend
