Rating:  - Disappointing costumer service, and product!
By M. C. Bojorquez Vargas (El Paso TX)
I bought this product about 5 months ago, the batteries just lasted 4 months when it spouse to last for 12, I call Garmin International and they ask me to send it, which I did, 2 weeks after, I received a refurbished watch that didn\'t work either, I call them again and they told me to send it again (I paid shipping twice), 2 week later I got another watch that did NOT work, it was the third one...
2 months later I finally got a new Forerunner. Please don\'t get in trouble, don\'t buy this product!
Rating: - Watch was defective. :-( Died after return window
By Raymond Garces ()
I got the watch. I didn\'t open it right away, but when I finally did. It worked ok at first, I had to replace the battery in the footpod in order for the watch to detect it as soon as I started using it. Then the watch I replaced a few days later. Now it\'s not working at all.
Outside of return window. I didn\'t even get the chance to use it at all.
I wouldn\'t recommend buying this watch. I got a lemon from Amazon. Rating: - Still can\'t sync the footpod and heart rate monitor to the watch
By Perthea615 ()
its been over 30 days now and i can only use the watch. i still can\'t figure out why the foot pod and heart rate monitor would not sync. any recommendations? Rating:  - Garmin Forerunner 50 with HR monitor & Foot Pod

Foot pod arrived with a dead battery. Need to calibrate foot pod. Overall, its a good product and it serves my need. Thanks. Rating: - Good product for the price, great software (compared to Timex Trail Runner)
By Sebastian Chlopecki (Overland Park, KS United States)
This is my second \"speed and distance\" watch.
I had used Timex Trail Runner before.
Trail Runner is GPS-based, while Forerunner 50 is foot pod-based.
As a watch Trail Runner is better.
GPS worked flawlessly for me, both on road and on forest trails.
It did not require any calibration and 3-line display was more useful on the run.
Forerunner has 2-line display, and the foot pod requires different calibration numbers for road and trail.
That being said...
When I \"ended\" my Trail Runner, I didn\'t get another one.
Forerunner is 2-3 times cheaper and because of that I decided that I can live with the 2-line display
and change calibration numbers depending on where I run.
Moreover Forerunner has 3 advantages over Trail Runner:
1. It collects all the data in the watch itself and you don\'t need (expensive)
data collection unit (like with Trail Runner).
2. Free software from Garmin (Garmin Training Center) and Garmin Connect website are great products
with well rounded features and user interface.
3. If you ride a bike, you can purchase little wheel sensor (also wireless) that will send speed
and cadence data to the watch as well.
