1. 1 single feature, the possibility to have running power on Zwift, my current watch doesn’t have that.

2. Feature I would look for : an accurate step counter when the watch is worn through the day, outside of runs

3. Stryd running power integration 🙂

   1. What? You mean ***PROPER*** STRYD integration or just the ability to pair a sensor.

4. Single feature: post-workout performance analysis.

   Something nice: you’re one of my favourite sports tech bloggers.

   1. We love you too ! thank you for the kind words

5. One single feature – accuracy.

   1. you mean you want to know how fast you are running and get an accurate heart rate? at the same time? Surely there are more important things for runners 😉

      1. lol

6. I’d say it would be Stryd Compatibility for sure!

7. no touchscreen

   1. obvs

8. A hydrogen fuel cell battery that would last a couple of months between charges. Failing that the ability (Garmin /iPhone) to respond easily to texts from the watch.

9. Just want clear screen with big numbers on a white background. Oh, and OS grid ref for if / when I take the wrong path!

10. Garmin, Polar and Coros are all reasonably accurate in my experience. Garmin and Polar have some features that are nice to have. Garmin has a lot of features I don’t really care about.

    I’d like to see something different in form factor. Most watches have a 1.2″ transreflective (I think that’s what it’s called) display. Garmin and Suunto have larger versions, which is nice. Something different doesn’t have to be OLED. The Instinct, for example, I think the black and white display is great, very legible although small. Or theCasio GBD-H1000 display. Or some smartwatches that have a dual layer display. I’d like to see mfgs trying something different.

    Also I want overnight HRV numbers like Polar does. AND I’ve always wondered why Garmin is the only one that can interact with notifications on Android. I can reply to texts with a preset quick reply. I can delete emails. All from the watch. Makes using Garmin as an everyday watch hard to get away from.

    I’m guessing we’ll see a Pace 2 today!

    1. Just let it be the Vantage V 2 and I will be happy.

11. Single feature? Structured Workouts. Power would be nice as well.

    1. structured power workouts…hmmm. with power alerts too, no doubt

12. 1 feature – long battery life

    1. yep

13. Hard to say just one feature, but I guess I’d have to go with accuracy.

14. Apart from my first ever watch (310xt) my other two Garmin models have struggled with accuracy so I’ll have to go with that.

15. Forgot to say I retweeted as well!

16. Sadly, no luck with the SunGod glasses.. but how can I pass up the opportunity of winning a watch? 😛

    Accurate instant pace (eg, Stryd-like) is the single feature I’d love the most in a running watch.

    PS: retweeted

17. gps accuracy and battery

18. I love watches that are super reliable in terms of GPS connectivity speed, no drop offs, and smooth. I find the less I have to think about the watch I am wearing, the better I perform.

19. Customization. I can get used to a battery life or limited features but if I can’t set the watches to my preferences (yes I look at you Polar, Suunto, Coros, …) then it’s no go for me.

20. Most important feature is accuracy, specifically heart rate and distance.

    Retweet done!

21. Single most important feature: the display. Before watches I was running with Strava on the phone, but it was very annoying to not have an data except audio cues during the run. And I’d say second most important feature is heart rate monitor, helped me understand why I felt like dying trying to run a 5k at 188bpm.

22. Hello, I want something accurate (GPS, heart rate) even in open-water and power-based structured workout.

23. Non-kludgy Stryd support. Bonus feature: Music

24. Structured workouts based on seamless integration with Stryd, of course

25. gps and pace accuracy are top of my list

26. I would love to have a watch that does support structured workouts with power. However, the most important feature for me is mapping/navigation support.

27. Structured power workouts with alerts and ability to import them from TrainingPeaks.

    1. Also retweet.

28. I need my watch to work with Stryd.
    Oh, and retweeted.

29. Post workout analytics and adaptive running programme based on sleep, daily stress and recent training sessions.

30. Accurate instant pace

31. Very accurate GPS with no lag on pace data. By the way I am a big fan 👍🏻

    1. thank you Stuart, Flattery will get you everywhere.

32. Hi, I’m interested in the Awesome Running Watch Giveaway.

    I hope it has good usability and responsiveness, hate interacting with a slow interface.

    1. I also shared the post…

33. The biggest feature I’m looking for right at the minute is reliable elevation recording – my 935 frequently gets in moods where it decides I must have climbed 700m on a mostly level 5k run.

    1. unblock the barometer hole !

       1. I think it’s actually clear – it mostly goes silly when I pause for a walk or water break, when it either shifts on my wrist or gets sweatier under the back – I think it’s just poor design placement compared to the on-the-side positioning of the fenix.

34. 1 single feature is accurate pace when running

35. New Coros Pace update, huh? Training Peaks and/or Stryd compatibility would be amazing….just saying.

36. The one single feature I´m looking for is good training load and recovery feedback (ok, technically TWO related features 😉 )

    I sold my running watch months ago. I´m hoping it is one of my two favorite brands ^^

37. I would like to see all-day HRV incorporated into a new watch

38. The single most important feature for me would be accurate heart rate monitoring when not exercising, for exercise I use a strap.
    The site is excellent, you can count on the reviews being spot on, highlighting the pro’s and the cons of every reviewed item. Great writing, too 🙂

39. When will you be announcing the winner? 🙂

    1. 1 sep

40. Reliability – it doesn’t lock up or bug out halfway into a run, or crash at the end when I try to save.

    Fingers crossed 🙂

41. As said by many, structured power workout with proper power alerts. It’s the only thing that I’m really struggling with the Forerunner 245, the feedback during workouts makes very little sense, sometimes it’s due to the course/wind, but the instant pace vs average for a workout segment it is not usable.
    I have been on Garmin for many years so I love to have all my data there, but with Strava that is device agnostic, maybe this Coros could be a good alternative.

    1. it has the structured workouts with power for running

42. Better accuracy of race predictor. Eg. for distances that are not often covered during training.

43. Crazy battery life, with solar so it doesn’t run out!

    Also retweeted this post -https://twitter.com/fredsmith5

44. One feature that is important to me: HR accuracy. Both during workouts and the rest of the day.

45. Looking forward to the complex workouts with power options

46. Instant pace, Full Stryd compatibility
    Retweeted
    Thx for the giveaway

47. Accuracy is the one feature for me!

48. Features of this sportwatch that I would like to have are:
    -crown interaction
    – coros Smart gps technology
    – stryd integration .
    Beside that I’d like to try out the products of Coros which seems to innovate year by year.

    Also I would like to thank you for this opportunity. I’m always visiting this site when I want to have news about new products and rumours. You know your bussiness!
    By the way your review was the main reason why I’m wearing an oura ring now

    PS: retweet

49. Heart rate and GPS accuracy whith good battery life.
    And simple to use Tri mode

50. I like when I can set up a simple workout right from the watch itself.

    1. Pace 2 can do simple intervals/reps that way.
       more complex ones need the app
