    This is the watch of all watches! Great tracking, GPS, accuracy and if you’re a work out person. This watch is for you! I traded up from an epic pro gen 2 and this one out does that one even when the gen 2 was only a year old. Such a great watch!!

    These watches are absolutely ridiculous. So many features and the battery life being almost 30 days is insane. I also switched to Garmin because my Apple Watch Ultra sensors wouldn’t work on my wrist bc of tattoos. Garmin-Not a problem

    It is a good watch with multiple functions. Just remember that this is not a smartwatch. It is focused on training and is good for that. The only thing that I do not like is the material used for a watch that costs more than 1k.

    Not the "eye-popping" experience I expected

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The AMOLED display doesn't have the eye-popping brightness I expected. The brightness settings are limited to low, medium, and high, where high is still too dim. Information displayed on the watch is too small for me to read in many cases. The interface is confusing and difficult to maneuver. Overall watch design is excellent.

    Better than the Apple Watch ever. Have not got lost yet. Even tells me where I’m at. Has a good sleep coach to tell me how bad I sleep.

    Is an excellent watch. I am not sure is worth the price. I have an Apple Ultra and is not as sports oriented, but the price should be close to the coat of an Ultra.

    I love the functionality of the Garmin wasn’t pleased with the Apple Watch, not saying it’s not a good watch just didn’t like it. I really like the appearance of the Garmin as it is more of a masculine watch too bad apple doesn’t make a round face.
