    This watch is great! This watch offers a lot of information and stats but is still easy to use and not complicated. It’s also very comfortable. I thought it would be hard to keep on while sleeping and I don’t even notice I’m wearing it. It even has built in breathing exercises to practice.

    Best thing since sliced bread. Obsessed with the fact that this is the only device/app I need when I run. Having the music feature is everything.

    At first I didn’t like the watch because it wasn’t touchscreen. As I got familiar with it. It has an array of features. I’m in the beginning stages of running so it’s great for what I was liking for. The app works great with it. I love the fact I can download music direct and leave my phone at home. The battery doesn’t last as long if using gps for running. But you can go almost a week for charging if not heavy use. For the price point and other watches I looked at I would definitely recommend.

    Great little tracker - slight learning curve

    Once you learn all the ins and outs of Garmin and the apps needed to customize the watch it is great. You can only respond to texts with premade messages but you can customize them to sound more like yourself and to fulfill most of your needs. You can also customize exercises and use it to track more than running.

    More than I bargained for! I love the sleep monitoring on it, though I just bought this to train for a half marathon. Very pleased. Shows me when I get most stressed during the day. So sensitive, it even recorded how high my stress got during some intense nightmares one night! Very high tech. My only complaint is that it’s a little large for my wrist, but I have really small wrists for my size.

    The Garmin Forerunner is reliable, resist water/sweat damage and is quick to connect with satellites. Music pairing with my account was a bit challenging but if you take time, follow directions and do it - it works well
