Welcome! Ask most runners what their favorite piece of gear is, and they will typically say their GPS watch. GPS watches are great, and I like my Coros Watch, but you don't need to wear them for every run. Runs still count even when there is no data, and they aren't uploaded to Strava. Yes, I said it!
I like this one! I am slow to adapt to runner tech, from shoes to electronics. Can they make running more fun? Yes. But they don't necessarily make you a better runner. If you are not using (or don't know how to use) the data from your watch to train, it does nothing but make you look good at the group run. Leave it at home once in a while and set yourself free of that running metronome!
