I love my Garmin!

I have had this watch for about three or four weeks and I absolutely love it. I previously had an Apple Watch Series 3 it’s the only watch I have ever had and this watch is significantly better. I would’ve switched so much sooner if I would have known.
I loved the color, the AMOLED display, the brightness, and the size—but above all, I absolutely love it for running and strength training. You can manually log your reps and weights, and as for rest periods, the watch notifies you when your break is about to end. For running, it tracks your laps and your pace for each one; it also features maps and GPS tracking. I’ve actually only been using it for a short time, but I already love it. It monitors your sleep, your body's recovery, and offers a multitude of other functions that come in handy if you engage in multisport activities. I still have more features to discover—I haven't been using Garmin for very long, as I recently switched over from Apple.
I bought this about a month ago. So far, it's exactly what I needed. I'm coming from the Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. While that was good, I need a 42mm face and Fenix no longer offers that, and the MIP display just isn't what I needed. The Forerunner 570 is perfect. The only reason I rate 4 instead of 5 is that the paint chips easily. Like very easily. However, this is just battle scars I guess.
I did so much research, was looking for a watch (to replace my Apple Watch) that I can use for HR and other metrics for cycling. This is the best pick!! Absolutely blows the Apple Watch away (and I'm a huge Apple fan!!). Apple's watch won't even sync to my AppleTV to use with Zwift. The Garmin syncs immediately. For watches, I'm Garmin alll the way. No more Apple watches.
I love everything about my Garmin but will say the battery doesn’t actually last the full 10 days . I usually have to charge my day 6 . Not sure if the battery is bad .
I just switched from an Apple Watch to a garmin and I’ve really had no complaints and this was given as a gift. I love how it breaks down my sleep from each night and I really enjoy seeing the training recovery/readiness after working out. I especially enjoy the battery life of the watch and how fast it charges back up. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone really. There’s so many different activities it can track including fishing. Not anything I’ve seen Apple Watch be able to track. Im overall very satisfied with the watch.
I upgraded recently to the forerunner 570 after having the Vicoactive 5 for a few years. I wanted more stats on my running and the training features. I'm glad I did and I picked out the pink one as well to match my kit. I don't regret it for a second.
