    This watch is such a significant upgrade from the Vivo 4 Music I am replacing. The display, touchscreen and battery life are just a few things I am really enjoying about this watch.

    I upgraded from my venu 3 and this watch has so many added features and amazing battery life. However I dont think its worth the extra $250 from the forerunner 965 besides the flashlight and added brightness.

    Great watch with exceptional performance and health features. However with this price range missing things are LTE , passive ecg tracking and many other advance health related features if you compare this with Samsung , Google and Apple watches. With this price it's not about only sports but personal well being tracking should be considered as priority.

    This has been a great purchase. It’s expensive but well worth it if you are an endurance athlete trying to stay ahead of the simpler metrics like rest and recovery!
