    This watch has been such a great upgrade from my Apple. Apple is great don’t get me wrong, but if you’re looking to start or continue a fitness journey especially when running…this is the watch to get! It has many capabilities and provide loads of data about your day to day efforts. Plus love to look and fit. Honestly won’t be going back…sticking with Garmin

    Garmin has been doing great things with their watches lately and this is no exception. Outside of having it's own phone plan, this watch makes it easy to do day to day functions and workouts without your phone (or your wallet) Great features, sleep metrics, and training recommendations combined with above standard battery life make this a great choice for anyone looking at a healthy middle ground between the 200 series watches and the larger Phenix line.

    Quality watch and extremely accurate when training! Topographic view is extremely helpful when mapping run and or reviewing a course. Would recommend a screen protector for those who are destructive (like myself) but can withstand a good knock or two. Would highly recommend for those training/enjoy running!

    I have had an Apple Watch for a while I decided to change to this Garmin forerunner 965. I like how the battery lasts up to 24 days. It is very detailed about y sleep and workouts.

    Forerunner watches excel at tracking workouts and providing meaningful data. There focus is more on fitness metrics than anything else. If you are looking for a watch for training, the garmin forerunner is for you.

    Such a great watch for exercising. Especially running. It’s light and very easy to navigate. Paired with the garmin connect app and you have so much data. If you’re into health stats, this is the brand to have. If you’re running, this is great watch.

    Best idea was to switch from an Apple Watch!! Forget to charge it bc it takes almost 2 weeks to die. Love using it for long run, don’t have to worry it will die mid long run!!
