Love it! I bought it on best buy as shipping was faster than garmin site. I would highly reccomened this watch. It is improving my fitness and helping me train for a 10K! I took a lot of time to study which watch would match my needs + budget and I am very happy with my purchase. One downside is I can't get my music to download on the watch. I was reading that it might be my wifi. I think I can get it to work, but just a bit of a pain to figure out why it is not working. The screen looks beautiful in sunlight. I dont mind not having a touch screen/it is probably for the best!

I decided to go a different route switching from the Whoop to Garmin as my run training was getting more involved. I cannot say enough good things about the Garmin Forerunner. The details and insights given through the watch and app are second to none. If you’re looking for an all around training tool, this is the training fitness watch for you!
