Good overall product, is able to track majority of fitness goals of an average person. With many different options for more intense physical goals as well. While it can do a lot, there are some limitations. Running in closed loop tracks will throw off the gps tracking system, as well as the heart rate tracker has been off a few times. Overall it is a decent watch for a reasonable price

I bought this watch as a starter watch for my eighth grade son who is in cross country. The watch has been very good for him to track his pace, time heart rate, and all the things that his coach is asking him to keep track. On top of the tracking purposes and also has a coaching program that can set workouts for him to achieve goals which he has used to increase his per mile time. Overall, I am super satisfied with this watch and think that it is a great purchase for anybody looking to track their running efforts.

Ive had this watch for awhile now and had tested it through a lap swim multiple times. I have no regret and any complaints really- its a good watch for the price ! f you're looking for somewhat simpler this might not be yours but if you want something thats advance and can do a lot, this is a good budget option!

I use this strictly for running and sleep monitoring. It works so well for both.
Upgraded from the Amazfit Bip 3 after it broke, and this is so much better for running.
If you want extra features, go with an apple watch. But if you only care about running, get this one.
Be warned, no touch screen, the OS is ancient, and it has 0 processing power. Don’t expect a flashy apple product. This is just a tool for running, and it does a fantastic job.

Needed to replace my dead Garmin 9xx smart watch I use as an odometer and speedometer to track cycling and kayaking. Tried a less expensive model but the face was too small. This model is larger and has more features. A bit harder to operate than my old one, but has more functions.

Excellent fitness watch. Very good to track your steps, heart rate, runs, and sleep. It's durable and I Like how it always alerts me when I get a message. The system is easy to use and the app is user friendly. Also, the battery life is amazing.

Clear, comfortable watch with all the functions you need to track your running. I’ve been using this paired to my Runna app to train for my first half marathon and it’s been one of the best parts of the experience!
I would recommend this to a friend

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!

This watch was easy to set up, lightweight, and has all the features you need to stay on track with your healthy lifestyle. The battery lasts several days with each charge. Highly recommend.

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.
