After wearing this watch for three months, I can confidently say it’s one of the best I’ve ever owned. The screen is stunning, and the bezel design is equally impressive. I was looking for something reliable and rugged, and this watch has exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to first responders, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who works in tough environments. It is pricey, but the way I see it, I’m gonna invest in something I use everyday.

The best watch I've ever owned. Hands down the best Garmin on the market, the battery life, features are amazing. Colors are brighter, the ballistic, night vision features are amazing if you need them, or just nice to have. The flashlight is green and white, better than red and white at night. Ihave owned all of the fenix lineup and this is 100% better in my opinion.

Best watch I have owned. Tactically it beats the Suunto and in practicality it beats the Apple Watch. Battery life , beats all the others, so if you can afford to buy it, I recommend it. I have the Pro Ballistics edition and love it.
