For me, when the Forerunner could display a text from my iPhone, it was over. That piece of convenience is what I liked about the Apple Watch, but nothing else. I’ve been on the feature rich, rugged, long life Forerunners since 2018, and I can’t consider looking back. Apple worked too hard to compartmentalize features into different apps (many that are pay-for to do it well) for a fragile watch that I broke twice. After all, I’m very active and the Apple Watch simply isn’t durable enough, the features are fragmented across apps, and the cost is not inline with competitors.

Counterpoint: It is exceptional, this is nitpicking of sorts? Users don’t pay for it, and the long term data trends over time are outstanding. It’s not a coach or professional training software, and once that is internalized, I think you’ll better understand that what’s being voiced here is the assumption that it should be. It can be inconsistent in some of the conclusions it draws, but it’s exceptional for free software (and the complaints are irrelevant if you’re already drafting your own training plans, and modifying them based on the physiological data you’re able to collect with this level of Forerunner)
