The most used running watch on Strava is... an 8-year-old Garmin!?

Getting more active is on top of everyone's New Year's resolution list, and if Strava's latest 'Year In Sport: The Trend Report' is anything to go by, people using the social media platform were more active than the year before. The biggest surprise, however, is which running watch Strava members used the most to log runs: the Garmin Forerunner 235, a wearable that came out in late 2015.

This might come as a surprise to most, considering the interest in modern Garmin watches and performance wearables, such as the Garmin Forerunner 965, Polar Vantage V3 or Suunto Race. These top-tier watches have the most accurate sensors and are often more feature-packed than older models. But once you start digging into the report's details, you'll notice why this might be the case.
