    better than a smart watch

    This watch initially caught my eye due to the battery life. However, it has drastically contributed to my fitness goals and overall health. The health insights it provides are far more intuitive then my previous watch- which makes sense. This is a fitness tracker where my other watch was a smart watch, so they are obviously built to do different things. Besides the battery life, my favorite feature of this watch is that adjusts to you. Meaning if I’m having a less active week then I typically would and my step count is down, the watch will adjust my step goal accordingly BY ITSELF. So it may not be classified as a “smart watch” but it is far more smart than any watch I’ve ever owned!

    My husband absolutely loves this watch! I got it for him as an anniversary gift. He swims, cycles and runs. He says that it is perfect for all his activities and syncs up with his Garmin and Strava apps.

    A device that, despite being an entry-level device, has all the features a runner needs. Battery life is a plus for the product.

    After multiple marathons, half marathons and countless other running events, I finally caved and got a Garmin watch. So far, the watch makes tracking my runs easier and I could connect it to the app I’ve been using all these years so I can compare times. I opted for a lower cost Garmin, because I wasn’t convinced I’d wear it. But this watch really has everything I need, and I’m intrigued by all the stats reported so I’m wearing it! And it’s made me better at answering my phone since it alerts me when my always-on-silent phone is ringing.

    Perfect for what my husband needed. The battery stays charged for a really long time and the stats it keeps track of are really informative. The only negative is that this watch isn’t offered with a sapphire crystal watch face to keep it from being scratched but you can get screen protectors.
