I recently bought a Garmin Forerunner 230, which is considered a pretty good watch for running. It's fine, but I found the interface to be quite painful. I considered an Apple watch but figured I could wait until the new one. Ultimately I'd like the watch to end up having awesome health and fitness tracking sensor (beyond what it already has e.g. blood pressure; glucose levels without need to draw blood[e.g. Glucowise]).
For this next version I'd really like them to add the following to the AW:
- GPS: This will allow me to leave my phone at home on runs. My garmin has GPS but you can't store music on the device so I have to take my phone anyway).
- "Waterproofness": Just so that i don't have to think about it when I go for a swim or take a shower.
Battery life seems fine from what I've read, though GPS would be a concern. I wonder if it could fake GPS by downloading a map and then just estimating by distance and direction.
