    This is an excellent watch because of the heart rate monitor and applications that can be added to the watch.

    I thought this would be an amazing runner watch and it probably is but I ended up returning because the screen was waaayyy to dark. not user if it was just the watch I or not but it was way to hard to see. I tried everything to get it brighter but nothing worked. The only time I could see it was inside, the sun made it hard to see.

    Great for running! Download Garmin app on my phone to be paired for my running activities. 1st week I had it, Garmin's website was down for a week for maintenance. I could only screen shot my running activities in the mean time. Hope this doesnt happen alot. But so far it has been a great watch for my running activities. I would recommend the watch! :)

    Love the frost blue color. It’s not too big either. It’s perfect while running. My only complaint is the GPS is a little faster than me. During a half marathon race it would vibrate every mile and I wasn’t to the mile marker yet. It’s about .1 or .2 of a mile ahead. Also had trouble getting BT to connect. But Geek squad helped. So many bad reviews on the Garmin Connect app. It self. But the watch is good.
