Great training watch

I bought this watch a few weeks ago to have a more fitness centered watch. I really love the 5k training feature and all the stats that come with it. I really like how I don't have to charge it everyday. It's a powerful watch with great features and isn't overwhelming with distractions!

Exactly what I needed

This is exactly what I needed to take my running to the next level. I just recently started running and found out how important pace is. The features that help me stay on pace and to always no what my pace is has taken my runs to the next level. Great purchase and highly recommend for any runner.

Unusable

This was my first fitness watch purchase with the aim to track running. I went with Garmin thinking it was a reputable brand. Immediately upon opening a software update was required for the watch and the watch became locked in ‘wheelchair mode’. I do not use a wheelchair and the watch won’t track steps or a run and is therefore unusable. This experience has turned me off Garmin and trying to rely on any fitness tracker at all.

Very satisfied with my first watch THE BEST

I have some month using the watch and before I buy I saw many reviews from people in YouTube and normally I do not trust even 50% of what they said but I decide to buy it and confirm. Let me tell you, not disappointed, was exactly as the YouTube video it’s a perfectly watch for running swimming and bike, I’m very happy with my watch and I do not think you have to go out of GARMIN NEVER

Good battery

Good item, really good battery, i can go with it to places and the battery runs out after multiple days. Gives a lot of choice for types of sport. The only downside is the controls, you may need a few days to get accustomed to it. Buy it if you want a low price Garmin before going into the big thing. Dont forget to download a personnalised background.

Too much stuff

I want a watch that tells me what my pace is. Not what my pace is for a lap, whatever a lap is. Is a lap one mile? I want to know what time it is. i want to know how long I've been running. As it is I have to sort allot information to get this basic information.

I love my Garmin!

I bought this right before Thanksgiving and have been loving the coaching feature which has kept me on track to hit new running milestones. I also like seeing how much recovery I should be taking between fitness efforts so I am continuing to perform my best!

Amazing Fitness Tracker

Been using it for about a month and a half now, daily use and mainly cycling for excercise. It has a long battery life and accurate GPS, and you can customize pretty much every screen on the watch to show the stats and data that you want. Highly recommend this watch for anyone looking to get a basic but highly functional fitness tracker/smartwatch.

Great intro runners watch

This is my first running watch. I have really been enjoying using it to train for an upcoming event. When researching features, I found it hard to choose which model I would like. Ultimately I went with a friends recommendation and chose this one. The battery life is excellent. I occasionally find that if I have the band tight enough to accurately report my heart rate, that it rubs my arm enough to chafe and leave a mark.

Really simple user interface, and the metrics seem to be pretty consistent. I use it for running, biking, and hiking, and really have liked being able to keep track of distances and elevation with the UI during activities. The battery life is also a huge plus, with it going 1-2 weeks between a charge.
