How can you possibly put a watch ahead of shoes and socks?? You can absolutely totally run without a watch, but you can't run without shoes. I mean you could technically, but it's highly not advised. You can just start running with your phone with a free strava account on it. A watch should come later on, once you've decided that you do in fact want to progress further, keep track of runs, etc. But it's not essential at all. I'd argue that comfortable, adequate, breathable clothing is more important than a watch.

Haha yeah running without shoes and socks might be a problem 😂🙌🏻 Good point about strava on the phone! That’s very helpful. The “beginner runner” I had in mind is someone who runs occasionally already and wants to take it a bit more seriously.

Even strava 😌

[@johnnylam5360]

Why do you need strava if your watch records all those things already?

[@kalos5204]

convenient way to monitor progress

Because if you change watch brands down the track you will lose your data and start fresh
