    Excellent watch. Works for all the requirements I need in a fitness watch. While not a hard core runner, I like the recovery information.

    I'm new to Garmin watches but already it's a huge step up from my old Fitbit. I had looked at apple watches as well but the battery life of Garmin's greatly exceeds my Fitbit and Apple Watches. I love the stats it gives me, especially during/after runs and other workout activities.

    First Garmin watch I've owned as I've been steadily increasing runs, hiking, etc. Being 52, this watch is perfect for tracking those. There are so many features on this watch that I've yet to explore. Fits great, light weight, bright screen and many customizable watch faces. Also, the data fields on the face... fantastic for a quick view.

    I’ve worn the watch for a couple of months now and it was a great choice over the Apple Watch. It’s definitely accurate. I wish they had more feminine bands.

    Greta watch, tons of useful features and battery life is close to specs on duration between charges. I use it for my norning alarm daily and I'm sure this probably drains it faster but im ok with that.
