    This replaced a five year old Apple watch. I wanted something that would sync with my Strava, etc. for bike riding as well as hiking, yoga, weight lifting and sleep monitoring. This watch fits the bill. I've no complaints at all. It is a very nice device.

    I am a little disappointed. It doesn't do all that the salesman represented to me that it would do. The band was a lot too small.

    The watch itself is great. Very responsive and bright colors in all lighting. I have larger wrist and the length of the band isnt as long as my old instance. I alsk dont like the 20mm wide band but coydlnt justify slending an extra $150 for the 265 just to have a little wider band. Overall, this watch does what i need it to.

    I'm on my second Garmin watch, and I'm still amazed by how great the screen looks! The ability to customize the watch faces is a fantastic feature. The design is so clean and sleek that it feels far more premium than its price would suggest. It's truly a great value, and the affordability made it an easy decision.
