    My first Garmin and so far very impressed with ease of use and especially battery life. My previous was an Apple watch. Although the phone features need iphone to be in bluetooth distance its not a drawback for me as I dont use watch to answer and text. Have use features mainly for fitness/health tracker and soon for hiking/maps and as a secondary diving computer. Seems extremely durable. The included band is very comfortable as well. Glad I bought this over the Fenix as the Tactix is a better look. I wish it had a better charging connector as a magnetic connector would be more useful.

    I spent years with a Fenix 5 until it broke in a car crash. Switched to AW and have been there the last 4 years, most recently AWU1. Yes, it is expensive, I got it from BB because of the longer return period, thinking that it would probably go back. Well its NOT, I love the watch and metrics it produces. I was afraid that I would miss the connectivity due to my dependance within the Apple ecosystem but, I have found that I don't miss it at all. The biggest miss is the auto-unlock of apple devices but, its not a big deal. I recently misplaced my phone and initially though crap, I can't use my AW but, the Tactix does the same thing. The learning curve is more involved than the AW but once you master that, you're good. I chose this over the Fenix 8 due to specific functions it has such as the Applied Ballistics. Oh, best part battery life is averaging 3 weeks per charge. Garmin support is awesome, I couldn't figure a function out and they got it fixed right up. Glad I made the switch!

    This is THE watch. It is everything I imagined it would be. I definitely recommend watching YouTube for awhile to truly get a grasp of why this watch is so significant and so that you can appreciate the value it brings.

    Great looking watch. I am happy with it so far. I love the flashlight feature. The battery life range depends on how you use it, but a good I get a good week and a half with the display always on option. I like the activities I am able to track, including the GPS. Speaker is clear during phone calls. I would have given it a five star for comfort, but the silicone band doesn't do well with my skin. I bought a nylon band from amazon. fits way better!

    So far this has been a great watch. I was worried that the battery life would not be sufficient. But it is.
