I am nothing short of highly impressed

I bought the watch on a whim, I was considering a G-Shock but noticed this was on sale at a similar price and with far more features, a great display and a similarly rugged and comfortable build, so I took the plunge. My previous smart watch experience pretty much begins and ends with the Pebble way back when, and I loved it, but have been put off by poor battery life on smart watches since. This lasts a month on a charge, or tries to, I would say closer to three to three and a half weeks, but even then, that more than gives peace of mind in not having to baby it. It has a dizzying array of activity and outdoors functions, built in GPS, albeit with very basic mapping, and a solid ABC sensor array that puts my Suunto to shame. I hadn't considered it on purchasing, but there are a large number of watch faces to download too, and some familiar creator names from the Pebble days.
Yeah, grab one, they're really good.

Love that it stays charged and can wear it for almost a month without having to change it!

The best part is that it can function without google telemetry. Although, it's tuff to know how bad google has infected everything. That said, I like how it allows me to customize it with the features that fit my goals and set aside the other parts. And if my goals change, the watch is customizable.

Had been Apple Watch user bought this on sale to try out Garmin and I love it! Love all the metrics like the body battery and the training readiness. Only thing I don’t like is having to click to toggle through the menu. Definitely plan on splurging for the touch screen forerunner down the road.

Bought this about two weeks ago. Super comfortable. Wish the battery lasted a bit longer - I think mine lasts half the advertised time.
