    I will preface this review by stating that this watch is great for those looking for a watch that is 90% fitness 10% watch. If you are looking for something that is more smartch watchie than fitness or even 50/50 fitness watch this is light on anything outside of fitness. Amazing watch for those that love to run. The comprehensive running coaches help set a plan for your fitness goals. My wife loves the watch and is using it to train for a 5k. I highly reccomed this watch for those looking forna true fitness watch.

    Nice watch for runners. Not sure if it’s perfectly accurate but much more accurate than Strava or other tracking apps on a phone alone. So much lighter and more comfortable compared to the fénix 7 I had. Battery life is great. 100x better than Fitbit or Apple.

    Great Watch with a great battery life.. I will say there are a few metrics like body battery that didn’t seem to be accurate as it would tell me to rest more when I’d already rested a few days and got accurate sleep.. the steps were also slightly inconsistent especially if you weren’t swinging your hands (ie using a shopping cart).. but all the other metrics were pretty great like the mileage was very consistent on my runs..the watch was extremely comfortable as well even to wear at night..

    I was always so enamored by the flashyness of an apple watch that i completely looked over the garmin watches. I have the forerunner 255 and i love it. Its simple, easy to use, looks sharp and the best best best best part is THE BATTERY LAST ALMOST 2 WEEKS ON 1 CHARGE. I wear it all the time so its always tracking vitals and lets me know when i need to recover or rest. 10/10 watch. Im getting ready to get my fiance one.

    love it for stress tracking and heart rate (even tho it seems off a smidge at times). needed something for durable to wear while at work and not touch screen so I don’t accidentally swipe on the screen

    I used to use an Apple Watch and didn’t love its fitness capabilities. This watch however is quite literally perfect for me. For reference, my main sport is running and it’s super simple compared to the Apple Watch. Just press a button and it’s recording your run, the pace split comes up and I can constantly check in on my heart rate. Happy there’s no touch screen and that I got a discount on this because the 265 just came out.

    I used the watch for 3 weeks, after which I returned it. It just didn't work out for me. I am a basic user, I run maybe 2 - 3 times a week, Sometimes I alternate that with going to the gym for strength training. What I loved about the watch was: - The battery time! I charged it once a week. and it only takes about 45 minutes to charge. The list of things I didn't like: - It's not good for tracking weight training at all - The interface is not intuitive in my opinion, and takes about a week or so to get used to. - I think its overpriced
