This watch is awesome for the things it is capable to do for a runner, such as myself. I've moved on from a Samsung Watch 5(Samsung fan), to this and I have not been disappointed! I'd say it is pretty pricy, and this is my first time ever owning such a watch. I had picked this(2nd best) over Garmin's Fenix 8 (Their top watch), due to me not really wanting to pay a little extra for the extra features such as the Solar Charging or Longer battery life, because I don't mind charging my watch ever so often and I am not outside THAT much for it to make a difference. At least 2 hours at most for my training. The watch will last me a long enough (~10 to 14days) without charging and I am happy with that versus me having to charge my Samsung watch like 1.5x a day which was getting annoying. The quality of the watch is amazing, the Glass is supposed to be stronger than the Gorilla kind and the material of the bezel makes it look so premium. The charging speed is also pretty good, I don't realize how fast it charges but I know it's quick (~1hr) from 0 to 100. The sensors it has seems pretty good and capable of tracking my daily results. It is keeping me in shape. Overall I recommend for the runners or just anyone who likes to keep track of things or a good, lasting watch! ... show more

    • Great watch for 90% of us.
Color: Whitestone with Amp Yellow
I’m not a crazy ultramarathoner, but i workout three times a week. I have health issues, and want to monitor my sleep and overall health. I want to stay in touch with work and get other alerts, but I need more than 50 minutes of battery life. ( Crap, I’m late for a meeting. And I forgot the milk. Again. ) I’ve found there are few watches for those needs, basically what most of us want. Right now your choices are a really expensive Apple Watch Ultra with terrible battery life or no smart watch features and great battery life. (Come on COROS! No calendar?! For reals?!). Garmin has owned the middle ground for a while now, but they have become increasingly expensive. The Venu 4 and Forerunner 570 are waaay too expensive at $550. The Forerunner 970 seems expensive but you get a lot - it’s essentially a plastic Fenix 8. Great battery life, lots of features, huge ecosystem, good software support. Over the past week, I’ve been to the boxing gym three times, saw dips in sleep quality during a stressful time at work, keep up with my idiot friends’ test messages, and can use the watch to alert me when I’m on call. And it still has 60% battery life. It fits my needs well. If you want a computer on your wrist - this isn’t the watch for you. If you run Ultramarathons across the artic - not for you. If it’s on sale and you are an average guy (or woman) like me, go for it. Thanks for reading! ... show more

    • Love Garmin!
Color: French Gray with Indigo
Long, long time Garmin user- i have multiple. I am an avid runner - od course this watch works great. This is also my go-to watch for work social events that require a less bulky watch vs some of the others I own. Great watch! Screen is crystal clear. Really easy to use.

    • Great fitness tracker all the bells and whistles and a built in flashlight!
Color: Whitestone with Amp Yellow
This has been a fantastic purchase! It is ready to go out of the box. It is everything I need in a fitness watch. It tracks so many metrics that help me prepare for the day and track my progress. Bukkt in Flashlight is something I didnt think I would use but its awesome.

I updated from the forerunner 235 to this one and I love it. The battery last more than 10 days, I use it in exercise mode at least 3 times a week over an hour. Love all the watch settings. Amazing quality!

    • You get what you pay for!
Color: Carbon Gray with Black
I've tried 2 rings and 4 watches. This Garmin watch is not cheap, but you get what you pay for: The watch is solid and durable. It feels like it should last several years. The app (Connect) is fantastic. Huge detail, analysis, reminders, and recommendations. Most importantly, all the measurements are *correct*, especially the two meta numbers I care most about: fitness age and VO2max. If you are a runner, the Garmin ecosystem is optimized to analyze and suggest improvement routines. The maps are excellent. Overall, it's a premium watch and ownership experience, well worth it if you want correct data and plan to use it to improve. ... show more

I selected the new version of this product, but I’m not completely convinced the unit I received was actually new. During setup it defaulted to Greek instead of a U.S. configuration, which made me question whether it had been previously opened or used. I also noticed a small dent on the case right out of the box. The device works, but these details affected my confidence in its condition. ... show more
