Love my watch!

I bought this a month ago and love it. The color is beautiful and makes me excited to see my stats. The breakdown of my runs and other workouts are very helpful.
I loved the garmin until it left red rash where the sensor on the watch is. I unfortunately had to return the watch and am so sad because it was a good watch.
Tested against Oura, iPhone Health and my actual step counts, my Garmin 70 runs 20-30% low. The sleep tracking is much improved from the Garmin 35, but it’s not so great at the asleep/awake distinction, and over-estimates deep sleep, though not as badly as the 35. And I’m not sure about the accuracy of the pulse oximeter. Intellisense works better than it used to, but overall my 70 is disappointing — I won’t be using it.
This product is amazing. Battery lasts forever, very accurate results. I’ve been using the running features to plan workouts. This watch has everything.
I like the watch, however, I'm still trying to get use to it . I like the upgraded features especially locking when I'm not using to avoid unintentional starts of workouts. That use to really get on my nerves with my old watch. The one thing I'm having issues with is the disconnecting with my phone. I've only had my watch for about a month and I already had to reconnect or pair with my phone twice. I need to pair it again but just haven't set aside the time to do so.
I bought this watch about a month ago and I love it. For some reason it gave me motivation to run and stay consistent. As a new runner the coach feature was really nice to help me get some structure to my running.
