Question: Does the watch tell me about recovery time etc from my gym work out or other sports (hiking, badminton etc.) or it is for running only ?
Document: I have owned Garmin Sports watches since their early models, i use them for Running and Cycling. The 620 is by far the easiest to utilize, extremely readable and clear screen when running, the screen field options are wonderful. Make sure you always buy it with the heart rate monitor. The best three things i love most about this watch are the VO2 Calculator, the recovery time calculator and the breadth of statistics that is presented at the end of each exercise.
I wouldn't call it accurate but for me with multiple running locations (hotels, home, gym, etc...) it was nice not having to mess around with a foot pod.The wifi isn't solid but I use the Bluetooth to my  iphone as the main connection and it works great. Very convenient to not need a computer to review my run.I was a little nervous buying such an expensive watch with all of the negative reviews, but I'm glad I did.
Overall It's a Great Idea but with some really questionable deliveryThe GoodThe running dynamics information is really net and I think will make me a better runner.The V02 max information is nice to have.while the recovery advisor was not accurate at first it has gotten more useful after a few runs.the watch is comfortable overall and while I don't consider it fashionable it looks like a normal sports watch.The BADI was unable to us the watch indoors until I updated the software.
Personally, I like the elliptical over the treadmill when in the gym, because all the running I do outside is tough enough on the joints. The new accelerometer in the 620 is supposed to eliminate the need for a foot pod on the treadmill, but I could find nothing about whether it worked for an elliptical machine. It does work, and very well I might add!
This is a great running watch! I purchased it for the VO2 Max and the Recovery time features. I ended up getting the Garmin Run HR monitor band - though the band I had worked fine. The Run band gives you additional info about your running form.
I was super excited because it gave me an estimate for times times that I haven't achieved yet but I know is possible so it gives me encouragement to be &#34;told&#34; that I am physically fit enough to accomplish those times which makes me want to push harder. The final thing it tells me is recovery advisory. I was able to upload my 16 week training schedule onto the watch so it will tell me what my workout of the day is. The GPS is also instantaneous.
Makes tracking progress super easy and lets you know your baseline stats on running efficiency and fitness. Hrm strap gives consistant data without any spikes and is both slim and comfortable. My favorite feature is the recovery period estimate which takes the guess work out of when to take that next training run coupled with the hr zone reading so that I have empirical data on whether I am slacking or should increase intensity for a progressive workout.
Bought the watch in late Feb. 2014 got roughly two months worth of use out of it. Nice metrics with the vo2max, recovery advisor, vertical oscillation, etc...Woke up the other morning and the watch won't charge and just has a blank screen. It is a brick now. Garmin support is only through email and 2 business days after I requested a repair they emailed me back and suggested that I turn it off and back on.
As an avid runner who has also spent a career working in technology, I am truly astounded by the incredible amount of cutting-edge technology integrated into this small device. Garmin has done an outstanding job of focusing (primarily) on the things that will matter to a serious runner and adding new functionality that can play a significant role in training and improving performance ... things such as cadence, vertical oscillation, VO2max, ground contact time, etc, all which can be used to gauge and improve your running.
I bought the Garmin 620 to replace my 405. I liked the description of the VO2 max estimator, the recovery predictor and the live link which can be seen in real time by friends, family and who ever else you send an invitation to. I also purchased the new heart rate monitor that is an upgrade from my 405 to calculate the running dynamic stats that are displayed in my Garmin account online.One thing to keep in mind is the pairing of the device and your smartphone.
Answer: This watch is not a multi-sport watch. It is specifically designed for runners/running. I looked at the multi-sport watches prior to buying this one and they were much more expensive.
