    I purchased this watch for my daughter who is running XC for HS. This watch is perfect for her. It includes a great safety feature, allows her to view incoming texts and calls, and she can track her distance for her running program. Thank you

    Purchased this for my son for tracking his runs for cross country. It’s simple and easy to use. Nothing fancy but it does the job. The only downside is that it seems to have a slow connection to the gps.

    The functionality of the watch is fine but the display brightness is terrible. I returned the watch for a different model. I am surprised that Gardin would sell a product like this.

    I love this watch. I bought it to be able to track my pace and distance. I needed something that had bigger numbers than my previous watch because I don't run with my glasses on. I wish the back light was brighter on the watch aspect.
