    Bought this watch for my Dad for the fall detection feature. Just note this is bluetooth and wifi only, my Dad needs to have his phone near him for the feature. My Dad is 80 and lives far from me so this Makes me at ease that we will be able to know if he needs help.

    I like the watch because of the detailed information provided at the end of an activity. A non athletic feature I like is getting sleep data, ie, just how well did I sleep.

    This is big improvement over my 45. Tracking and additional features are easily used and understood. Very happy with it for a fairly inexpensive device.

    Garmin - Forerunner 55

    The Garmin - Forerunner 55 is around the $200 price range. I feel that it has everything I need it to be as I just run with a running club and track my stats on Strava. This thing was a game changer because I was running while holding my phone in my hand. This time I could just leave the phone in my car and go off and run with the Forerunner 55 on my arm and after my run would be recorded and posted on my Strava app. I didn’t think I needed one at fiest but this seriously had been a game changer! Get one!
