Got it for Christmas and have worn it every day since. Fits great and feels amazing with its touchscreen.

Liking most everything so far

I got this watch after wearing out my Forerunner 45. The battery life on this thing is stellar. My old 45 was getting so bad I had to charge it every day that I ran, but I'm on day 5 and have 2 runs on it, so very pleased with that. The only thing I don't like is when I complete a run and try to save it, it asks me how hard I ran, then it asks how I felt, before finally just letting me save the run. I could definitely do without the added intrusions. Hopefully there are settings that can be altered to just let me save the runs.

Overall great but don’t like how it gets my heart rate wrong when I’m working out a lot. I don’t know if its to tight or to loose I keep trying different lengths and it will be off a lot.
