    I like the built-in GPS feature which provides accurate tracking of distance, pace, and route while running. It has a great battery life compared to my previous smart watches. It is also light weight which makes it more comfortable to wear throughout the day. Worth the Price!!

    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 because I can wear it while swimming or while using my rowing machine. I wanted a more workout-focused watch than my old Samsung smartwatch. I am very happy with this product and I didn't lose any features by switching.

    Great watch for runners; this watch has so many functions and tracks so many stats, it was a bit overwhelming to learn how to use it at first (first-time Garmin owner; former Fitbit watch owner). But after a while, I became more familiar with how it functions and now I love it.
