Garmin Forerunner 920 XT Watch GPS Fitness Running Run Sport Black/Blue

Great watch, but not always the most accurate

This is the first actual running watch I have bought, so I can't compare it to anything, but it exceeds my expectations. I love the bluetooth functionality with it, even if it does occasionally disconnect. Not a big deal, though.

The only negative I have is that the GPS is not always accurate. While it's more accurate than my phone when I used to use Runkeeper, it still is slightly off. I ran a half-marathon this past weekend, and noticed during the run that the watch had me about a half a mile farther than the actual distance. That's not a huge distance when it's a total of 13.1 miles, and I realize that this could be due to me not always taking the shortest route. But it kind of scared me because my target was to break two hours. I had never broken two hours in a half before, and used the target time feature on the watch (which is awesome!). But since the distance was slightly off, I also knew the pace was slightly off. I got worried that I wouldn't be able to finish in time, which may have actually helped me because I upped my pace a bit! I did finish in 1:54:34, so all was well, but I did get a little scare.

Overall, this watch is awesome and I highly recommend it. I can't wait to get my bike out and do some bricks with it, as I'm excited about how easy it is to flip from activity to activity in multisport training with the push of a button.Read full review

Accurate GPS and easy to read screen plus Bluetooth uploads!

I LOVE THIS GPS watch.

I had a 910XT which I liked but it couldn't upload wirelessly to my iPhone (and Garmin Connect). You had to plug an ANT stick into your computer to upload. It was horrible. The 920XT is fantastic - it wirelessly uploads to my iPhone and works well.

The screen is way easier to read than either my 910XT or my Fenix 2. The Fenix 2 was horrible - text was way too small. The 920XT text is large and bright.

The last thing is - my Fenix 2 was not accurate at all for distance in the woods but my 910XT and 920XT are right on.

This watch also has a very long battery life compared to many other GPS watches. I can record a 10+ hour hike on the Appalachian Trail and still have plenty of battery life left.

Basically, the 920XT has everything I could ask for - easy to read screen, accurate GPS, wireless uploads and great battery life!Read full review

Wow!

I've owned several fitness watches over the years, but this one is the most comprehensive and easiest one I've had the pleasure of using. Very informative and configurable screen, step tracking, and easy syncing as well as a great add-on selection. The band is very strong and (apparently) durable. With a new 920xt selling for more, this refurb - with a 1 year factory warranty, is a great deal. I would definitely buy it again if I needed a replacement, or, one as a gift. If you exercise at all, this is a very helpful tool.Read full review

Great features, easy to read

Love the paddling setting and the speed / distance / time is easy to read when attached to the footstrap in my surfski kayak.

Great watch for those using metrics in their training.

Great watch for a data junkie. Love step counting, multi sport feature, as well as the sleep mode.

Better than I expected!

I upgraded from a Garmin 910XT, which is a great watch but I could not use it with a swim heart rate monitor. Not only does it allow me to track my heart rate with swimming, but it syncs through blue-tooth to my smart phone quickly. It measures sleep zones, steps per day... and I have only just begun. I am so happy I purchased this watch, because of it I am enjoying life and exercise much more... and as a refurbished watch it came with a one year warranty!Read full review

Brilliant watch for triathletes

This watch is ideal if you are serious about your triathlon training. For running it gives you heart rate, distance, speed and cadence (with appropriate accessory). For swimming, it tells you distance, time per 100 meters, stroke and stroke efficiency. For biking it tells you distance, speed, cadence and power (with appropriate accessories). There is a specific triathlon mode that seamlessly records your swim, bike and run along with transition times. The addition of wifi and bluetooth automatically upload your files to Garmin Connect so you can easily and quickly analyse your data after training. There are additional apps and watch faces that you can freely download and customise. The Garmin 920xt is also attractive as an everyday watch as well. Fantastic watch.Read full review

Definite Improvement

I got this 920xt to replace my old 910xt. It took me a couple of days to unlearn the old button positions and sequences, but it was worth the effort. Garmin has changed just the right things. The 920xt automatically pairs with the right power meter, depending on what bike I’m riding that day, I don’t have to carry a separate smartphone to track my run power, switching sports is way easier, as is customizing data fields. This was a great buy. I could have gotten the 935xt, but why?Read full review

Great watch for triathletes

This is a great watch for Triathletes! Works well with the recommended heart rate monitor. Connects very fast to phone so you can receive messages, connects fast to GPS (within 1 minute at max). The customization you can do to the watch through the Garmin app is great.Read full review
