    I have recently purchase this watch but here is what I have so far. It does fairly well at measuring distance. Better GPS signal better the watch. It does struggle under the trees. The battery is great. My old watch had to be charged 2 to3 times a day. This watch will hold a charge for 5 days. I would have given it a 5 stars but the GPS loads slow sometimes.

    Affordable GPS running watch. Had the 920xt before which was very different. Fairly easy to use. Have to get used to the. Http s and some of the new features. Created a workout on Garmin Connect and it was pretty cool how it is displayed on the watch. Only used it once, but so far I’m happy.

    Lives Up To Expectations

    A really nice watch that is performing well. Very little issue syncing with Garmin Express and updating the software. I have little patience with reading through user manuals, and Garmin's usually require a certain amount of wading through a lot of verbiage, so I just started pushing buttons. It takes a little getting used to the sequencing for the different functions, but once you figure it out it's pretty easy. The battery needs to be recharged every couple of days, so once I get better acquainted with it I'll probably revert back to wearing my Casio G-Shock unless I'm heading out for a run.

    I've owned this watch for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. I use it to track my workouts , my steps and the body battery is usually spot on. I didn't realize how much I missed wearing a watch lol. And there are so many custom watch faces you can download it's crazy.

    This is my first smart watch and I received it as a gift. I like it so far especially for the heart rate. I also like the way it fits, and it’s thin band. What I don’t like is that the screen light is to dull. Wish it was a little brighter. Other than that, I’m enjoying my watch.

    I was a long time Garmin user and had switched to Fitbit. Fitbit totally wasn't worth it so I went back to Garmin with this watch. Never shouldve left. Very fast with getting GPS for runs/biking and all the necessary stats i need. Plus the battery life on this is way better than my old Fitbit Versa. Definitely check this watch out

    Some steps don’t seem intuitive to accomplish a task. The ‘manual’ has been difficult to follow. I am hoping that over the next few months, the processes will become easier to follow. The price seems to be good for what it should do.
