Excellent Features

It had been at least 25 years since my last HR monitor/watch. I wanted something that would replace my old watch for running and swimming activities.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this watch did so much more. Text and email notifications and it even monitors my sleep activity.
With so many features, it does take some time to learn all of the nuances. I also like that I have a mobile app on my phone and a desktop app on my PC.

The hype was way higher then it should be

I bought this in hopes that I could replace my apple watch - that was not the case. I did not like it at all. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and took time, but I do not like it. I will say the battery life is fantastic, but other than that, it is mediocre.

Perfect for running

I am so glad I decided to spend the money on this watch. It is the perfect size and shape and the features are exactly what I needed for my XC training. The GPS is very accurate and connects very fast. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I bought this about a month ago and love it more each day. extremely accurate and precise. The battery lasts over a week and only takes an hour to fully charge. so many interesting features-- and more I just dont know about. truly a staple for any serious runner, i dont know how i ran without it lol.

I love the larger size. I had the venu sq previously. There is a little more learning curve. Overall I love this watch.
