So – with that intro, let’s get into things. Also, because the technology world constantly changes, I try and go back and update these reviews as new features and functionality are added – or if bugs are fixed. But, if I’ve missed something or if you spot something that doesn’t quite jive – just let me know and I’ll be happy to get it all sorted out. I write these reviews because I’m inherently a curious person with a technology background, and thus I try and be as complete as I can.
Lastly, at the end of the day keep in mind I’m just like any other regular athlete out there. Like always, I’ll be shipping that back to them in Olathe, KS, in the next few days and going out and getting my own via regular retail channels. To be clear, Garmin sent me over a FR15 to start testing with until retail availability. And now, I’m ready to give you the low-down. I’ve been testing it for the past month on all assortment of runs, rides, and just a lot of walking around – getting to understand how it all works. Effectively the FR10 and the Vivofit had a baby, and that baby was called the FR15. This would take their popular FR10 budget-focused GPS running watch and then combine it with the Vivofit activity monitor. In keeping with the popular trend of adding activity monitoring to devices, back in April Garmin announced their latest running watch – the Forerunner 15 (FR15).
