Garmin Forerunner 30 review

A pared-back run tracker that packs in some serious features

Clear screen ; Intuitive controls ; Great app

Design definitely fitness-focused ; No touchscreen ; Move IQ isn’t capable enough yet

Buggy phone notifications ; Not a looker ; HR sensor struggles with high intensity workouts

Garmin’s simplest running watch lacks flexibility and software sheen, but it’s a great budget choice for road runners

Garmin Forerunner 30 review: A bargain at full price, now even cheaper

The Forerunner 30 delivers good performance, GPS and heart-rate tracking in a beautifully affordable package

The Garmin Forerunner 30 is a solid, dependable running watch. It's not flashy, but it gets the job done and you miss it when it's not around. On one run, wearing my charmingly inaccurate Gear Fit2, a pair of running headphones and the Forerunner 30,...
