What is the running or workout gear recommended to you that you just flat-out hated?
See the review of the Garmin watch I wear HERE.
We all have that one friend who has to have the "it" gear of the moment. I'm not that person. I spend hours researching the best socks to run in.
I am a minimalist with my running workouts in general, but occasionally, I will splurge on something highly recommended by a friend. My last splurge (after hours of research) was my Samsung Gear Fit Pro smartwatch. I've had it for almost a year now and I think I can confidently say that it was a good purchase for me.
My purchase before that was a set of wireless earbuds. I still have problems getting them to connect and stay connected. And when they do stay connected, they don't stay in my ears. FRUSTRATING!!! I leave them at home and take the wired earbuds that make me grumble because of the flapping wire when I run.
I'm curious what running or workout gear have you purchased, whether recommended by a friend or not, that did not hold up to your expectations? No gear is too outrageous or small. Share your gear fails here!
