    With the amount of working out running outside by clean, and just being outdoors as watch has injured at all. But the amount of times that I’ve run into the door there are no scratches on the device. And the battery runtime is amazing on this. I couldn’t go back to an Apple Watch with having to charge it every day the amount of features on it is absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend this watch to those who want something more to capture all the physical activity they do in a day.

    What a great watch for my activities. I was using a Apple Watch and it worked well however the Garmin has superior battery life. I have used it for a 4 day backpacking trip and didn’t have to charge it.

    Amazing watch! Couldnt have asked for anything better. Tracks everything really well, increased my 2 mile run time due to somenof the features to help me pace myself. Battery life is over a month. Definitely well worth the buy. Thank you!

    Watch is great. LOTS of functions, it's a learning curve to customize it to your needs and use. I will add 1 star for battery life. I get an average of 2 weeks of normal use, which is great. Another star for the features .More than you'll probably need, including a very good GPS (it's a Garmin after all) And the last star for overall quality and looks. Now for the not so great... Solar charging is a toy feature. Not really helping in real life use. If you're stranded in the middle of nowhere and the watch is dead, you might get a day of battery after several days of full sunlight charging, but not improving battery life much on real day to day use. And the last annoying thing. No Bluetooth calls or voice texting from the watch. Come on Garmin!. This is a $800+ watch. My wife has that functionality on her $200's Fit... watch, and it's great not to have to reach for your phone when you're in the middle of a workout or running. For the price that you sell these watches, there's no excuse to miss this feature, not in the 21st century and with this function available on devices that sell for 25% the price of this one. But overall, good gadget....with room for improvement.

    Fantastic fitness watch! I chose this model as it has many more workout customizations than the Apple Watch. The longevity of the battery exceeds my expectations. For me, the only downside is the size of the menu text. I wear bifocals and without them I have to memorize a certain sequence to select, start, stop and save my workouts .

    This is my third Fenix. It is the best yet. The battery life is excellent. I'm a dedicated endurance athlete. The battery lasts for weeks. The heart rate sensor is far more accurate that Last Fenix. I find the sleep tracking and body battery estimates interesting and useful. Top of the line product for a serious athlete.
