I purchased this watch for its combination of extended functionality over traditional fitness bands (Previously used Vivosmart HR), as well as the traditional watch look and feel. Being able to switch between the athletic silicon band and the stainless steel band so easily is a great added function! This watch is so much more than that! I like the additional fitness and outdoor metrics (GPS tracking/mapping, advanced training metrics). The customization of the watch face makes it even better! It allows you to truly make the watch your own and quickly switch the face between professional life and workout/training. It is one of the best combination smart watch/fitness watches out there, especially if you are not a big fan of Apple products! My personal preferences for a traditional metal and round watch face over the more common square/straight-edged smart watches did play a significant role in my decision. After owning this watch for just over 1 month, I have yet to scratch the sapphire crystal face. I feel like I have been bumping it on everything and it still looks like new. The only negative - for the price, others have told me it should be touch-screen capable. However, the side buttons are more than reasonable, especially if I am trading a touch screen for durability and fewer fingerprints. *I will note that the price tag and the capabilities may not match up with most individual needs for a fitness watch so it is important to weigh these points accordingly.

I was looking at potentially buying the Apple Watch 3 or the Fenix 5. I am very happy with the Fenix 5. Excellent battery life, great fitness metrics, etc. I also have an Apple Watch 2 - and I honestly don't miss it. Highly recommended.

This watch does everything. I needed a smartwatch for notifications from my phone and the ability to silence calls during meetings. A secondary need was for a fitness tracker which this watch knocks out of the park. Love the garmin connect app that goes with it as it gives me more about my activities than any other tracker I have used. The most useful feature I have found is the golf GPS. Once a course is loaded, distances are spot on comparing to a Golf Buddy, Bushnell GPS and a Bushnell range finder.
