    This watch is so useful in many ways I cannot list them all. The display is very crisp and a lot of customization options for it. The most common use for it, running, is extremely accurate.

    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.
