The Treadmill 22 is a fully-featured high-end treadmill with all the bells and whistles. It has a large 60" x 22" running surface that offers ample space for long strides and running at any speed. A 12 mph top speed and smooth-rolling belt is suitable for power walking, endurance runs, high-intensity intervals, and everything in between. This sturdy model boasts a 400-pound weight limit, and the tread deck features Comfort Tech cushioning that does a fine job of absorbing impact, with decline to -5% and incline up to 20% to simulate glute busting climbs and moderate downhills. A 22-inch HD touchscreen serves as the main interface for choosing workouts through the JRNY app and viewing them while you work out. Well-placed speed and incline controls on the handrails and the extended handlebar grips, plus quick jump buttons on the lower console make them easy to adjust, even while running. The JRNY app is more affordable than other competitors, and while it isn't the most impressive, it offers a good variety of studio-style classes, virtual coach programs, Explore the World scenic runs, and lots of off-treadmill workouts for total body fitness. One unique aspect of the JRNY app is that you can stream your favorite entertainment from popular services like Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, and more through the screen &#40;subscriptions required&#41;, and it works with third-party training apps like Zwift through your own device. We love the versatility of this platform, and the options it provides. It also comes with features like a heart rate armband, a small cooling fan, a USB charging port, front-facing speakers, and plenty of places to keep things at arm's reach. 
The Treadmill 22 is the largest and heaviest model we tested and it is best suited to a dedicated workout space. The tread deck folds up to reduce its footprint by about half, but it's still a sizeable machine. Assembling it isn't particularly difficult, but it is quite time-consuming, and once it's assembled, moving it around is certainly no easy task. It's also quite expensive, and while we feel it is the best we tested, it may be more than many people need. That said, if you take your indoor training seriously, we think the Treadmill 22 is the way to go.

Cushioned Deck – Comfort Tech deck cushioning will give you a softer landing with each step, protecting your joints as well as your spine.

Incline & Decline – Another upgrade from the Treadmill 10, the Treadmill 22 offers -5% decline up to 20% incline. Can anyone say, High Intensity Interval Training? Wow!

 However, the treadmill 10 inclines up to 15% and the treadmill 22 inclines up to 20%. The +5% maximum incline may not seem like much of a difference, but it will make a big one in the exertion you’re able to output during your workout. If you enjoy HIIT workout programs, and simulating going up and down hills – the treadmill 22 might be worth the upgrade. Pros and Cons of Bowflex Treadmills

The Treadmill 10 and Treadmill 22 machines from Bowflex are much newer to the scene, but they offer some promising features that are worth a look:

Bowflex Treadmill Reviews by Industry Experts

The star of the show here is the 22″ adjustable HD touchscreen that allows you to access unlimited instructor-led workouts, watch entertainment apps, and explore the world through scenic routes.

But if you’re looking to take your workouts to the next level, you might like the steep inclines the 22 can reach.

Personally, I see the heavy weight as a good thing. True, it makes it more difficult to move, but it also makes for a more stable base during workouts.

When it comes to running surfaces, bigger is better because it makes for a more spacious workout experience.

Feature-loaded, a joy to wear and use, and accurate when measuring heart rate from the wrist, this is everything most runners want in a GPS watch.

I had an Apple Watch 3 but switched to the Garmin Forerunner 645M and am completely happy.  I love the battery life of Garmin and all the analytics.

Does anyone have experience running with Apple watch? would you recommend it?

I'm trying to decide between Garmin and Apple watch. I don't need much. Just GPS and Heartrate tracking for runs. And a breakdown of per-mile pace would be nice.

Anyone use Apple Watch to track their runs?

When I was just starting to get consistent, I told my partner that if I kept up running 3-4 times a week into my 3rd week of the next semester of law school (January) I’d buy myself a watch. 

I just wanted to share a proud achievement of mine. I started running 5k almost everyday last year.  A few weeks in, I wanted to get one of those cool smartwatches for listening to music without having my phone with me, one for tracking all my stats and stuff but I thought: 

"*you're not there yet, you're going to buy the watch and then eventually stop running.*"

 It happens to me that I want to start to do something, I buy the stuff and eventually I never really dive deep into that hobby or new habit. 
 

Now, running is no longer an option, it is something I do every day. I love it. It brings me into rythm like some sort of meditation. I get to be in the forest every day and see how the seasons change it. It is honestly more about the mental health improvement that it brings to me than about the fitness, though fitness is indeed a very cool plus. When my anxiety builds up, which happens a lot, running calms me down and puts things into perspective. I can also consistently drink beer on weekends or have a pizza or pasta on a weeknight with my friends without worrying about getting fat. 

This is both a thank you letter for this sub and running for improving my mental and physical well-being, as well as a sharing post of how the mundane act of buying a smartwatch can be so full of meaning in the right context.

**Anyhow, make a long time lurker first time runner poster happy and throw some watch recommendations my way! :D**

PS: I hope my post complies with the rules and is not better posted in the Q&amp;A or Daily Achivement Thread since I kinda felt it generates discussion around running watches and it's a little bit of both. Sorry if yes, pls dont ban.

**EDIT: When I said I had trainers that were 8 frickin' years old, I thought we were talking about pants not shoes! I guess I should've said: *"sorry for my bad english"* lol** My shoes are not 8 years old, but my pants are. surprising good shape I might add.

EDIT 2: I'm going to take a break from looking at comments and stuff, my thesis is not going to write itself (sadly) but I'll be back!

**EDIT 3: I made a decision about the watch and stuff happened. I'll update when it arrives :)**

imma buy myself a watch, and it means a lot.

I own a 645. No end of trouble. First one stopped charging and replaced by garmin. Second crashes every daily, generally during a run

Hi! 

Decided to buy my first sports (running) smart watch, but can't make up my mind which forerunner to buy. The internet is full of great reviews of and comparisons between the 245/645/745 (the ones I'm considering), but they typically assume price differences that aren't true anymore. In the UK, at the moment the 645 is only £200, which is £50 pounds cheaper than the 245 Music. 

Does this make the 645 a no-brainer compared to the 245, or is it a bad idea to buy a watch that is getting discontinued?

I probably wouldn't buy a new smartphone that old, but the release cycles for these watches seem slightly slower than the typical smartphone?

&amp;#x200B;

Thanks :)

Forerunner 645 heavily discounted, bargain?

The major health insurers offer at least pretty significant discounts on all the Garmin Forerunner watches. (Humana Go365 30%, UHC and BCBS 20%). Reward dollars over time in the various programs could be assumed to offset total cost as well.

My employer recently switched Health Care providers to Blue Cross Blue Shield, and while exploring the various benefits I found the "Well onTarget" site. It's meant to be a wellness management solution through BCBS to help you stay more fit/healthy. 

While on it I found that you can link your Garmin (or other devices) to it and for each activity you sync (it's automatic, linked to Garmin Connect) you'll get 55 points. These points are redeemable for a bunch of items, including Garmins, a few samples:

* Fenix 6X Pro Solar - 196,296 points
* Fenix 6 Pro - 134,288
* 945 - 115,404
* 745 - 86,333
* 245 - 58,752
* 45 - 39,867
* Plenty of other things as well, such as GoPros, Apple TVs, Airpods, video games, etc...

I figure I'm going to be using my Garmin regardless, might as well "earn" my next Garmin as I use it. There's a few other ways to earn points, it looks like it's semi-easy to get around 25k-30k points per year, which is more than enough to earn one of the lower end Garmin's roughly on their release cycle.

I wouldn't be surprised if other healthcare insurances offer programs, it's worth checking out. And quite frankly yes, you are trading your data for points to redeem, up to you to decide if that's something you want to do.

To Find it:

"Well onTarget", for me it was on the left under Quick Links when I logged into my BCBS of Illinois main portal.

<div class="md">Edit: Thank you to <a href="/u/IndyHCKM">/u/IndyHCKM</a> that this is limited to: Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Edit 2: There is also the standard 20% discount that most health insurance providers offer, a listing of them is here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11FeOS8Gf26GO9Ewp3rGzBALk9EZgT3Xian3TYOe4fwg/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11FeOS8Gf26GO9Ewp3rGzBALk9EZgT3Xian3TYOe4fwg/edit?usp=sharing</a>

BCBS's Well onTarget Program lets you "earn" a free Garmin every 2-4 years

 The distance is spot on and the battery lasts forever. As someone else wrote l Apple is better for everyday things.

I’ve watched a lot of reviews and it looks like it is a great watch but do you think its better off just getting a normal watch like a Garmin forerunner 35? Im not sure whether the price is completely worth it.
