    This was a gift for my wife to replace a Garmin Approach she thought she lost. She uses it for running. I can’t give details other than she loves it and she enjoys the positive/inspiring messages the watch offers to motivate her. She has also raved about the battery life.

    I really enjoy how it track sleep and stress levels a little disappointed that I cannot answer phone calls or respond to text messages even though I can read them and see who’s calling but other than that, I think it’s a perfect watch.

    Works well especially notifications from iPhone to the watch. I've had a Fitbit for about 10 years. Garmin has much better battery life (one week) and tracking everything and more that you would want tracked. Better wristband.

    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.
