    Love this Watch. It is so light. Easy to use. Sometimes the battery life dips. But it’s usually is resolved quickly by the company with an update. Strong glass.

    Bought this for my wife and she really enjoys it. We both were Apple Watch users and when I swapped to Garmin she wasn't on board until she started running with me. Once she started running she realized how accurate the Garmin was and how smooth it is to do a workout/run with. The new OS for Garmin is really good and it can even find your phone for you by playing a tune from it. Highly recommend this and the other Garmin wearables as well.
