    I have a Fenix 3 myself, but this watch is very capable in it's own right. Only complaint is that when it was worn in a pool and got slightly wet (it was not submerged for any period of time more than a few seconds) it started faulting for about 2 weeks before the issue cleared up. It's supposed to be wearable for light water activities according to Garmin's website

    I love my Garmin and I’m probably not even using it to its full potential. I can read my texts and see who is calling. You can answer or ignore calls but requires your phone to actually talk. Only thing I don’t like is that the start button sometimes turns on with the bend of my wrist. Overall this is a great product.

    I have had the 305, 220 and now the FR 235. This is the best one yet. I love all the stats it gives me while I am running and after my run specifically which zone I am in and my current heart rate. I am not a big step counter, but this does help keep me motivated. The only issue I have is I cannot seem to get call alerts to work. Watch is also very comfortable and light.
