    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!

    Very easy to use. Not a busy screen like the apple watch. I like this watch very much. Battery lasts about 13-14 days from full down to like 7%.

    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.

    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,,,,,
