    A clear step up from Fit. my wife uses it and my main concern was size. it is clearly big, but she did not express any concerns and is perfectly fine using it. so "yes" if you wonder "would it look big on a small arm", yes it will compared to a small fit or apple watch, but "no" if you wonder "is that a deal breaker". clearly YMMV and it is personal, but one data point of one lady saying "this is fine"

    I run often and have been using a Garmin watch for a few years. I had the Garmin instinct two and ended up upgrading to this watch. It’s definitely worth upgrading. Not only do you get more functionality but the insights on your work out on much better. Functionally they are the same watch but what takes this model over the top is the daily reports it gives you aling with suggestions on exercises and

    I've had the VivoActive hr 4 for years and wanted to move on to a new device. With all honesty, this watch is amazing. The battery life is excellent, and it does everything you'd every need. There is a GPS version which I thought about testing but it was a little bit higher on the budget than I wanted to spend. This watch is a great purchase for all types of activity.

    Two weeks in and I love it. I was wearing a Whoop 4.0 AND an Apple Watch Series 7 prior to getting the Garmin. I was fed up with the battery life on both. The Garmin combines the best of both but also has more granular insights. Glad I switched!

    I'm happy I took a look at this before I bought the apple watch ultra. The battery life is crazy good on this. After a week or two, it is down to about 50% so I put it on the charger while I take a shower then back on it goes. Tracks a lot of data. Very handy if you use Training Peaks and it talks to MyFitnessPal.

    Absolutely love this watch! I’m so happy I finally made the switch to Garmin over from FitBit. The Forerunner 955 is superior in every way. I would highly recommend this to any of my friends who are interested in purchasing a high-quality activity/smart watch.

    So far it has been a great watch after taking a few days to adjust from my ol’ Samsung gear s3. Tracks runs and walks precisely, but yet to use it in the pool. Battery life is great ≈ 10 days for me.
