The heart rate monitor stopped working just short of 3 years after purchase. I would expect the money spent on this watch would have it lasting longer than that. While it worked, I have zero complaints.

Beats my samsung watch!

I brought this watch 1-2 weeks ago and I'm blown away by it. This is far better than my Samsung watch. I never dared to put my Samsung under water due to lack of resources saying it's WATER PROOF unlike the garmin. Best investment I have made, yet.

I have had this for just over a month. So far it’s working well. Just takes come getting used to and I am sure I have not used all the features yet. It’s more accurate I would say than my Apple Watch was. Very good product and the battery life is great!

GG Great Garmin

Had my 745 for a while and it's everything I need. Great running watch. I run in the early morning darkness and it lights up with little more than a wrist flick. As an old guy it's a little harder in certain conditions to see the readout. Cycling in diminished light means I have to do a little more to see readout and that requires taking my hand off the handlebar. I've sort of gotten used to it. Overall happy with the watch. It's hung with me over thousands of miles of running, hiking, and cycling and have had no problems. I might eventually get another one or maybe go for an upgrade.
