    Wanted a replacement for my classic Garmin Forerunner 310XT but with a capability to last long during my very long hikes, expeditions along with wanting body vitals around VO2 max, HRV, real-time heart rate monitoring. This one provided what I need and really happy!

    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

    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.

    My daughter absolutely loves this watch. She has the Whoop and liked it but was sick of paying a monthly fee. Decided she wanted this and loves it and it does way more and the charge last for almost 3 weeks. Also better than the Apple watch,,,,,
