    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.

    Brilliant watch for runners. Switched from 6 years of using Fitbit and couldn't recommend more. Highlights include running GPS map, great battery life and AMOLED screen.

    Perfect for runners, I highly suggest this watch to new/beginner and elite runners. It has everything you need and if youre swapping from a Apple Watch dont hesitate! One thing is that the charger cord broke like two weeks later.

    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.
