I bought this some time ago. It is a good GPS watch for the price. I do a lot of walking and like to focus on speed and distance. Does it very well. Notifications are good as well.

Great training tool

Measurements of current pace can vary. Mile pace and average pace are very helpful. Used to train for a marathon and worked great for pace, distance and heart rate.

Great entry-level watch. Ran my first marathon with it. Great entry training plans included. Been using it for 3 plus years and have never had an issue!

Durable and Comfortable

I have had this watch for about 2 years. The battery life is great; I only charge it about once per week. I am not gentle with watches, and this one is no exception. I have smacked it on so many things and there are no signs of damage. It is easy to use and has all of the basic features that I need + more. I like that it is fairly slim as I am not a fan of chunky watches. I would highly recommend this product!

Used for cycling and running. Does well with sweat and light rain. Good, not great.

Good for multisport person

I have used my watch to tracking running, walking, hiking and biking. It is versatile and doesn't have the feel of a bulky watch. It didn't seem to track my hear rate when I was sweating a lot under the watch so that is a downfall. I would recommend this watch for someone who has started working out in the intermediate range of hiking and running.
