    It’s a great watch for when you want to be active and don’t have an Apple Watch or Samsung watch bc of the price.

    Good watch - bad unit

    Really liked the watch. Love the capabilities with the feel of a regular watch. Having an apple watch this felt more natural, but still has the capabilities that I wanted in a smart watch (with better GPS). The problem I ran into with my unit was a bad magnetic compass. It was roughly 40º off, which is obviously unusable. I did all of the troubleshooting with no fix. So, for now, back to my Apple Watch. I would recommend the watch, but definitely go through and use all features to make sure it works correctly.

    Not Worth the Money

    It's nothing special for $200. I use it most for walks and running, but the GPS lock can take a long time to activate and sometimes not at all. I've gone for out & back runs where the distance traveled out is different for the distance coming back following the same exact path so I don't have much faith in the accuracy. Tried using the TracBack feature when I was in a different country, but could never get a GPS lock. But, it looks nice and the and the battery lasts a long time. The compass is a nice feature too.

    It was everything I wanted/needed and then some. I don’t get outdoors as much as I would like so the Fenix wasn’t necessary. Everything was pretty accurate. Solid watch.
