    Happy with this watch. I have run for about 4h during a 9-day trip and have not needed to charge the battery. I had a previous Forerunner, and this is an improvement both in both what info gets shown and how readable that info is. Pricing is almost modest compared to high-end sports watches that do more or less the same thing!

    Great watch. Very simple watch that is capable of everything a person would need. I switched from an Apple Watch 7 and never looked back. Keep in mind, I absolutely love apple products but the Apple Watch’s battery just can’t beat any Garmin watch. After buying this Garmin for me, I purchased another one for my daughter and she loves it.

    This has been an excellent watch. I have now used it for a couple of months for preparation for a triathlon. Very satisfied performed much better than my Apple Watch. Would recommend if you're looking for a training watch over a lifestyle one.

    Watch is excellent, highly recommend. My teenage son has been wearing it for over a month and has not complained about a single feature. Watch also lasts a long time. Alerts him when his phone is on silent that he has a message, makes communicating with him a lot easier when he is at work or at school.
