Where as a Garmin is a useful ongoing tool for me a runner. I have got through about six watches. I don't use gimmicks like step counters though, turned it off. "Congratulations you completed 10,000 steps!" - well duh, I ran 10 miles this morning.

if youre running 10 miles per morning, even half that, on the regular you're an extreme outlier. the vast, vast majority of folks don't get anywhere near that, and a step counter that gamifies making them move is a good thing.
