    Has nice features but some stats are pretty inaccurate like calories burned so take that value with a grain of salt. Honestly, I only bought this because I wanted a fitness tracking watch that I didn't have to charge every day like my apple watch. Having a 1-2 week battery life is great.

    This seems to be the most comfortable and size friendly watch diameter for a woman to wear, the watch provides all the important functions plus a few bells and whistles, with reasonable sale price - the model to remember to purchase here is the S series.

    I debated between this watch and the 965, and decided on this one because I only run, I don’t do other sports. I have not regretted the decision
