Awesome, took some time to realize it LOL
Works awesome, and it works great with my Stryd footpod. Took some effort to figure out how to get my favorite Spotify playlist on it (I had to plug the watch in to my computer and download some Garmin software to Windows first). You have to have Spotify Premium for it to work, be warned. But super glad I bought the music one because now I can connect direct to my earbuds from the watch and play music while running without needing to even bring my phone with me at all. Kind of thought I hated it the first few days because I was frustrated with setup and settings, but quickly came to realize it was awesome within a few days. Now a few months later I absolutely love it. Just took some figuring out how all the settings work. You can get audio running prompts directly through the earbuds too that you setup I.e. heart rate and pace every minute or however often you want etc. Excellent purchase. Oh yeah, surprisingly comfortable and light. I sometimes fall asleep with it on, something I don't recall ever doing with my old cheap one. Sometimes I think for a second I forgot it somewhere and then realized it's on my wrist. Heart rate monitor seems very accurate and reliable, which is very important to me as I typically run by heart rate for longer slower steady state and then I often run by power (Stryd) for intervals or more intense short runs. ConnectIQ Stryd app and footpod works great with this model even though for some reason it's not specifically listed on the Stryd website as compatible last I checked it. Battery lift seems great, and it charges up pretty darn fast. Again, excellent purchase.
