    This watch is great for any purpose. Running, walking, hiking, cycling and more. I use it a lot to track my hikes with its gps. The map is great. I switched from Fitbit and definitely never back.

    Amazing watch. Great gps running watch. Transferring music to watch was challenging, but once I understood how and what to do, it was fine. Now music with Bluetooth earbuds all from my watch. Very cool. Also, works as a good smartwatch!

    Great watch. Perfect for what I do. Way more functions than I will ever use. It is NOT user friendly as it is difficult to learn how to use. But Garmin support is the best of any company (not just sports watch companies) with whom I have interacted.

    I don't know why I waited so long to get a Garmin watch but it's the best investment I ever made towards monitoring my fitness. The accuracy is unreal good and the amount of data it captures and analyzes is perfect for the avid athlete.

    Perfect for long distance running and multi sport activities! The gps is very accurate and detailed breakdowns of your workout are insightful. The training programs included are also better than the competition.

    This is a great watch for someone who has the time to figure it out and really needed this info. I found a paid subscription to Strava was just what I needed for biking. I tried to switch from an Apple Watch but I couldn't get into it. I returned it.

    A must have for triathlons

    I started training to do a triathlon and initially thought I would be fine using my Apple Watch. The garmin coupled with the heart rate sensor was a game changer. I feel like I’m getting much more accurate data for my pace, distance and heart rate. Plus the training feature is great. I also like that the watch will help you determine you’re zones. And the data still syncs up to Apple health. Love this watch. It has now fully replaced my Apple Watch.

    Sometimes it’s hard to use because the interface isn’t great and there are SOOmany features. But it’s the best athletic tracking device out there

    With the exception of having the watch for only 6 months and the battery stop holding a charge, it would have been perfect. It would charge to 100% but by morning it was down to 13%. When it charged the first 6 months, the charge lasted a long time, even when I used gps and music features.

    I bought this watch as an upgrade from my fitbit and i cannot believe all that it can do! I was skeptical about the price at first and wondered if it was worth it, and I can confirm that it is worth it.

    Fantastic all-around triathlon watch. The bundle is worth it in my view so that you can use the accurate heart rate sensor data from the swims. The watch is reliable and has an incredible number of features without being as expensive as the Fenix series (for example).
