Bare bones

The Garmin devices are either stripped down or loaded to the hilt. Need a device with barometer, pulsox, heart rate, color touch screen but without large storage capabilities. I presumed that this device would at least count floors while on GPS but nope. So much for my floor trends, previous heart rate trends as the new device seems to have changed all of that.

Great watch

I bought the watch a month ago and it is perfect for my needs. It is easy to set up and use, and has updated features compared to my previous forerunner 45. In addition, Garmin gave me a substantial discount because the lug broke on my 7 year old forerunner 45 that was clearly out of warranty. I highly recommend this watch and Garmin.

Better than the 55

I had a Garmin 55 battery wasn’t lasting very long and was looking to upgrade watches. I like the options with the apps th 55 didn’t have SUP option, I do Marathon Canoe Racing, the canoeing app I had to use used up a lot of battery ! So far this watch in SUP mode works perfect !! Had the 55 about 4 years hoping the 70 battery lasts longer. So it’s been an excellent upgrade

Great watch and perfect for what I need.

Great watch and perfect for what I need. Dont run, but I do quite a bit of biking and hiking and it keeps these in check and shares them on Stava. Also great a checking my sleep patterns and heart rate at various times in the day. So far the battery life is great. My only issue compared to my last Garmin watch is that the sleep alarm does not seem to wake me up like the other one.
