    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

    The watch is the perfect combination of buttons and touch screen. It is simple enough that you can figure out a lot of the functionality playing around with it. I love how quick the GPS is to ready. You also can't beat the battery life. Garmin also is excellent with displaying stats and items you would want to see. The only thing I can say negative is I wish there was better how-to guides on some of the features...

    Had an Apple Watch 7! Got tired of the battery draining after a long run. This garmin goes 5-6 days without charging. Great for running and everyday use. It’s a garmin!

    I’ve never worn a watch before but this one feels good while wearing it at night and while running. The face got scratched already so be care while doing activities with it, otherwise I like the customization.
