    This was a purchase for my husband who will be 70 this month. He really loves the watch as he is very active and does a variety of things such as riding his bike 25 miles twice a week, basketball, tennis, golf and pickle ball. The watch cover just about all his excerising activities except for fishing and he loves the interface with his iPhone.

    I got this as a gift for my son specifically for its swim app. The fact that he does not need to remove it when he is taking a shower or swim practice is awesome! The GPS feature really drains the battery really quick, otherwise the battery life is great - about 6-7 days per charge.

    I bought this watch for my wife. She has an active lifestyle and loves using the watch to track her athletic activities as well as her daily routines. Battery life is good, not great, but that is expected for a watch this size and current battery technology.

    This is my first sports tracker/monitor watch, but I would say so far so good. Battery life is good and with the HR monitor you can do almost anything the fancy Garmin products can do.

    My husband absolutely loves his Garmin. Wears it swimming, running, etc. extremely accurate and easy to wear. This product is far superior to the Fit Bit he had last year.

    I love everything about this ite.! It does exactly what I want and more. The golf features are amazing and the connect app that goes with it offers great data. The only downside is the battery does not always last very long. Sometimes it only goes a day or two before I have to charge it if I'm very active but overall I am extremely satisfied with this product!

    Would not get the heart monitor that garmin makes, shirts interfere with it. The watch itself is awesome. Counts steps, laps, average speed, and more

    This watch is an awesome accessory for any athlete. It has many functions that other trackers don't. All in one convenient and small package. It does all extremely well. The one I'm not crazy about is the calories counter for daily activities. You can use with any Garmin Ant+ accessory for additional tracking info.

    I bought this for my son who is into swimming. He used it for some time and then got tired of clicking the buttons during the start of a lap and off when done. By the time he realized that, it was too late for a return. So, I am using it now. I like the fact that I can change the skins, get alerted when I get texts. You can pick what you need to get alerts on when you setup the watch. The best part is - you don't have to worry about getting the watch wet. I have worn it in showers, my son has swam in it - its still going strong!

    Absolutely love this watch. I've used it to do 2 Spartan races, so it's pretty tough. Occasionally freezes up when swiping through screens. However, I'm overall satisfied with this watch and have recommended to several other friends who love it as well.

    This is not an Apple Watch. If you are active and need to know metrics for sleeping, activity, steps this is the watch to get. You can get messages too but it's mainly for an active person.
