I switched from an Apple Watch to this garmin and it’s been so much better in every way. Never going back I really love this watch.

Definitely a great tool that I have been using out in the field. Really wish there was an option flashlight that has more options of light (red,blue and IR). Garmin let me know if you have that option to add on

I have had all the Fenix series since the original, and this watch excels at everything. Solid, sleek, and dependable, I enjoy wearing this watch daily.

Extremely solid and well built watch that does everything I could ever ask it to do, reliably and without question. Keeps up with my active life and willing to go with me everywhere
