    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.

    Love! Very helpful and useful for lifting, walking, running, and other outdoor activities. I love the FREE workouts! If you do use this everyday for workouts the battery will run out a little quicker but still lasts a full week for me.

  • GREAT watch for 3rd shift, actually tracks sleep

    I work third shift, which means almost every watch on the market besides Garmin thinks i never sleep, as they don't track daytime sleeping. Aside from that, the watch has a much better battery than anything running Google's WearOS. The ONLY downside is some third party health apps don't connect to Garmin. Want to try Pokemon Sleep? Sorry. But the body battery is amazing. I thought it was a dumb gimmick at first, but it really matches how i feel. I've been able to increase my energy and improve my sleep.
