    Liked everything about this watch. Would 10x’s more recommend this instead of another Apple watch mainly dur to the fact it gives me approximately an 18-19 day battery life between charges.

    The battery life is actually long enough for this watch to track sleep for several days. The data and usability is far superior to my Apple Watch Series 8. The AW is decent a decent watch but this Garmin is a tool for those wanting to take training to the next level.

    I bought this watch to replace an Apple Watch so I could manage my runs. The Garmin is a huge improvement: workouts are much more customizable and can be set up on the phone; the display is larger and configurable; you can run without your phone and use all features. You can also customize the main display.

    First time using a Garmin product. It gives good information for when I go biking, and has a lot of options. Took a bit getting used to my way around the watch, but pretty straightforward. The battery life is really good surpassing my previously owned Smartwatches both ( Apple/Samsung ).
