I am a consistent runner who takes it fairly seriously and this watch has everything you need if you are a normal runner. Highly recommend, no issues at all.

Cannot get the watch to sink with my phone, when I receive text messages.

I’m starting Summer workouts for Cross Country and this watch has been so helpful. My coach tracks our runs using Strava, so it’s perfect that this watch can import my runs straight to the Strava App.

Great Starter

I have had this watch for a few months and Love it! This watch has been a great choice for my training at the moment. While I always want more, this watch had way more than I had thought when I first bought it. The watch connects fast to GPS, even in some areas where my old watch to a little longer. Set up was fast, and customizable watch face and settings are great. This watch would be great for New runners, high school and college runners. Just make sure you do your research and compare watches.

I am very Impressed with this smart watch. I noted that two of my coworkers (the ones that run and are very active) had it, and I asked them about it. I heard nothing but good things from them. Now that I have had it for 2 months, I can confirm this is a fantastic product, simple to use and loaded with powerful features.

My wife got me this watch for Father’s Day and I’m in love with it. The battery life is amazing. I allow my text and call notifications to come to my watch so it usually last for 6 days on one charge. There are so many features with this watch. I use my watch to track my running/workouts, sleep, and water intake mainly but you can do many things with this watch.
