Upgraded from garmin venu sq, battery life is amazing. I have small wrists but the face isn’t too big. Nice to have important running data on one screen.

Got as a gift for my husband for his birthday, he loves it! Says the battery life is MILES ahead of the Apple Watch and he likes how large the screen on it is!

This is a great upgrade from the 245. Everything you need as a runner and more. Fourth Garmin and this is the best Forerunner yet. With the “gorilla” glass, this is tough.

I have owned 3 watches from garmin. My only complaint is the battery charging connection. My first garmin used magnetic charging, and that worked great, but since then, for both the Instinct and this watch, i am stuck with a special cable that you can't just find in any store. You have to order from Garmin. Having said that,being able to track so much data for years is great. Garmins connect allows me to see my progress over the past years weeks, months. That is a great feature. Garmin IQ is also relatively easy for watch faces.

I bought this because I wasn't really happy with the fitbit charge 5 sleep tracking.
The heart rate tracker is very inaccurate when you workout unless you select the workout setting. Once you do that it's pretty good.
The sleep tracker isn't perfect, arguably slightly better than the charge 5.
The app is way better than the fitbit app.

Great running watch with built-in GPS. Maybe it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the higher-end Garmin watches, but it still provides plenty of metrics.
