This watch is the best smart watch I’ve ever had. The battery lasts forever, the watch can handle whatever environment I subject it to, and the precision it records my runs and cardio sessions is unmatchable. If you’re looking for a watch to get outdoors or simply excercise, this is it.

We were hit hard in my area by Helene, my house and most of the houses around me were wrecked. I can't overstate the value of having a flashlight on my device, it made so much more possible when there wasn't time to grab a light. Additionally, the battery stayed charged for over a week without power, it was the one device I didn't need to worry about charging. I had the time, date, day of week, and sunrise and sunset readily available all week and this was just invaluable to me and my family. It got wet, beat up and smashed, and it never stopped going. I rarely write reviews, but i had to share this. Thank you, Garmin, for making a product that functions as designed and better.
