While I returned this watch within days of purchasing. I truly fell in love with Garmin. As a disabled veteran, I am always looking at ways to track my health. For that reason, I immediately upgraded to the Forerunner 970 to be further more in tune with my health tracking and habits.

Replaced an older Forerunner 245 with this one. This one pairs up with phone much better and is easier to use. Love to run with it!

I bought this to map mileage and play music in trail runs. It worked for a little while and now it says it can’t play music until I sync the watch with GPS. I hand done this several times and the message doesn’t change. Back to hauling my phone on my runs.

Honestly, it’s hard to beat Garmin right now. The forerunner is a great series.

My Garmin no longer charges when connect it to my computer. It charged when I first got it, but 2 weeks later it's already useless! And your support help is also useless. How do I get refund?

Music & GPS - everything I need. The Apple Watch batteries SUCK! My Garmin lasts for 4-5 days.

First running watch I’ve ever had and it was worth the purchase. Very easy to use and overall great watch.
