    This was a great upgrade to my olde Fenix 5. I have been a Garmin user for the last 12 years and this one does not disappoint. The Music feature is great as I don't need to carry my phone when out on a run.

    This watch was such a game changer when I was training for my half marathon! It was more accurate with the GPS. Also, just felt more motivated and excited to start my day with this watch!

    The watch works great and very happy with its abilities to provide the information I needed. If you are very active this watch is not durable. It can scratch very easily and the glass is very weak. A cold plunge caused a crack all the way across the face. Contacted Garmin and they said the glass isn’t under warranty. I’ve only had the watch for 4 months. Only thing garmin would do for me was $180 for a refurbished one.
