    The watch was for my wife and it is just what she wanted. On a Measure course the mileage came out correct and easy to use very similar to her watch we replaced. She needed one that would last more time for some long hikes that she was doing and not run out of battery.

    Very simple and user friend, accurate gps, nice phone app and bluetooth connectivity. But keep in mind that it is not really convenient to use external heart strap, when you have some prior experiences with some other built-in heart rate monitor watches.

    I loved this watch because the layout is very simple. The gps works perfect for when I go on my daily runs. The battery life is excellent. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The price is also perfect.

    This watch has met all my expectations. I use it mainly for running and it has all the bells and whistles. Everything is easy to use and has numbers that you can see clearly while running. Highly recommend.

    Good starter watch for runners. No frills and it just does the job. I got this for my daughter for her first running watch in high school.

    I bought this watch for my husband who has Alzheimer's. It looks like a normal watch but has the ability to track him if he should go outside and get lost! It works perfectly!!! And he's happy with a new digital watch!!

    I read the reviews of several different fitness devices before selecting this one t selling point was that it is waterproof I didn't want to worry about getting it wet when I get in the water. The Geek squads set it up to work with my phone. It took me a little bit to get it sinc with fitness but I think that was my fault for not reading everything on fitness pal not this devices fault

    perfect watch for tracking activities. I personally use mine for cycling thru the garmin connect and transferring to strava. It seems to track gps signal very well even thru heavy canopy in the woods. The info it provides seems accurate and real time. I really like the auto pause feature that only records info while your on the move so if you stop for a break it stops and when you start again it automatically starts. Well done garmin.

    This is my first smart watch and I love it. I use it to measure my morning run and it syncs all the details I could ever want to my phone. This makes it easy to view time, distance, steps, topography and calories burned. The map and temperature feature is interesting too. I recommend this for runners although it offers the same features for additional activities like swimming and bicycling.

    This is first and foremost a GPS watch. It has smart-watch notifications(which you can control from the Garmin App) that are nice. I like seeing texts and incoming call notifications. Step tracking is nice(and pretty accurate), too. I wanted a fitness device with built in GPS being my main requirement for running and this fit my needs perfectly. The Garmin App is well designed, too.

    I got this watch because I needed something that would tell me how far I have ran a pace and a total time. This watch is it. I have had no issues with it. There are more functions than what I have listed but that's all I use it for and couldn't be happier.
