Love It

I am an amateur runner and bought this watch for two things: security and advanced stats and measurements. This is a rave review. I like the watch's functions and 24/7 wear. It's fun and informative looking through the reports each day of how much sleep I'm getting, how effective my recovery is, and more. I've found myself progressing in my training since wearing it at a steady pace. It makes it easy to stay in a calorie deficit. My only complaint is that the design is a little plain, but that's purely aesthetics.

Great Features

It is a great garmin watch! This is my third garmin watch and I love them all.

Disappointed

No golf gps features/compatibilty which is very disappointing as my vivofit 3 had that capability. Watch face and options are over complicated and there are too many unnecessary options. Really just wanted text/call interface, music controls, steps , and golf gps. Set up is a pain and poor instructions provided in box

It's Ok

I wanted something different than an Apple Watch, I am familiar with the Garmin brand but not there watches, so upon downloading the manual this watch was a bit hard to get use too regarding the features. I basically bought this for running and for the music instead of having to carry my phone while running. I still need to sit down and mess with it a bit more whether to say I like it or not.... but so far so good...

Best Watch Ever

I had an Apple Watch SE prior to this, and anytime I would do a long run, it would die. One time it died .13 miles before a ten-mile PR with 53% battery life, and I got so mad I bought this watch. Best purchase ever! Battery life is awesome (I've never been below 90% and I just charge it when I'm showering), features are great, and I love how it's touch screen but also has buttons for when you need it. 10/10 watch. Music version recommended too, but that just comes down to preference.
