Good features

I updated my older Garmin with this model and am still getting adjusted to the new model. At age 83, the functions and results are clearly based on younger users; rather than older users. The sleep mode specifically is based on younger users.

Going from a Polar Running watch to this, was way more than just a lateral move. This watch was a major upgrade. Upgrades to data was just a minor upgrade compared to the beauty and elegance of this watch. Would have been better if it had some diamonds going around the rim of the watch, but it’s fine. 😉My wife couldn’t be happier with this watch.

I like the features but haven't truly used many of them yet as I've only had the watch for a short time. I am a bit disappointed in that the battery life isn't quite what it was described to be. Once I start using the features, I'm nervous that I'll be back to charging my watch (almost) daily, which was the main reason I switched to Garmin so I wouldn't have to worry about charging it so frequently.

This isn't about the way h

This isn't about the watch, it's fine, as is my Forerunner. The review is about the Garmin update that deleted all my historical info. My wife and I use these watches to monitor ongoing health issues, and they have been very effective for that. Today when I hooked up my wife's watch it said we needed an update to Garmin Express. I ran it. When it was done it no longer showed our old account, which of course contains all our historical data that we share with our doctors. Now we are starting today with nothing. This sucks. Some of that data was 2+ years old and it's gone. Thanks a lot Garmin.
