Have been way more active since wearing this watch. It tracks so much including VO2 max. I am training for a marathon - perfect.

Music helps clear my mind so I can train on my short runs as well as the long ones. Delivers great quality.

I've used a Garmin Vivomove 3S for many, many years, and was quite happy with it. But I got back into running last fall and have reached the point where I want some more data and heartrate guidance. I love the large display and metrics available. The physical buttons are so much nicer to manipulate while running (though some of the controls aren't super intuitive- takes some practice). And I really enjoy leaving my phone at home and being able to listen to music.

Difficult to operate

The watch is fine once you customize your activities, but I can't get Amazon music to play on it. This is even after I downloaded and updated the Amazon music app on my watch and my phone, went to the app and selected "refresh all devices."

Bought this a month ago and I’ve loved it. So many great features. It charges quickly and lasts over a week on that charge.
