Once I got started it gets easier to navigate .. I am so glad I chose the FORERUNNER 170 .. it has so much that you can do with it but right now I am going slow my mind can only grasp so much

Right decision

Definitely better GPS, activity and sleep tracking Boby battery is very useful and I believe I made the right decision buying it. That said it is not as easy to use as other smartwatches I've owned. Also, while I appreciate the need to collect and analyze data over time for accuracy waiting 3 weeks for HRV and other health stats for is frustrating.

Enjoying the accuracy of the metrics and the summary reports. Takes a little getting use to using the interface since this is my first Garmin watch. Would recommend Garmin over other health and fitness trackers.
