Great watch for the price. The golf features are very comprehensive, and the health metrics on the connect app are great too. It feels like a HUGE step up from my Fitbit Sense 2. I was able to figure out how to ise all the features in a day or 2 My one complaint would be the wrist strap is too short to get off my hand without completely undoing it and the velcro is a bit thick, pulling it in and out of the loop takes a fair bit of effort and is tricky with one hand
