    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

    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.

    Price is great for quality assurance both with software and hardware. Unfortunately it is not touch screen. Gps accuracy for runs is about +/-0.01 based on my use. Battery last about 5 days on heavy use. If you're looking for a watch in this price point it does not disappoint.

    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.

    Battery life is outstanding. Tracking functions are exactly what I need in a gps watch. Connects quickly to the satellite in running mode.
