Works well but not as intuitive to use as Apple
I’m going to keep it but just use for running. I like that I can have music without my phone on runs. But I like my Apple Watch for basically all other aspects.

my first Garmin
I’m super happy with my first Garmin watch for my running and cycling activi†ies. it was so many features like being able to broadcast heartrate to my Wahoo Element Bolt for my outdoor cycling; or to Zwift for my indoor cycling trainings. Hence, no need for a separa†e HRMs.Plus the fact that it is reasonably priced makes i† a great buy for me.

It was my princess’ dream to have a Garmin, so when I started choosing which one to buy this model stood up. It’s very affordable compared to other similar models and it has many great features.I’ve been taking my phone for my runnings for a long time, but it was bothering me to have the extra weight and volume to carry. This watch has GPS on it so you can leave your phone at home. You also can download music apps like Spotify and sync it with your earphones, it’s great! I’m just an amateur runner, but the accuracy in my opinion is spot on, you can download your trainings to the watch and it’ll tell you the intervals and keep your pace on range.The battery life will depend on your usage, but for me, who runs 4x a week with music on and monitors sleep every night, it lasts about 4 days.It’s very intuitive, easy to use, the screen is nice and the touch works really good.One of my concerns when buying this was it size, I was afraid it would be too big for my almost 15cm wrist, but it’s actually great! The band has a lot of room for adjusting to you wrist, and honestly, if I had gotten the 265s (the other one in the battle), I would’ve regretted sizewiseIf you’re looking for an affordable, beautiful and yet very functional watch, this is the right one! I love it 💕

Bought this watch to replace my Forerunner 265 with music that crashed!Luckily I found this one. Everything integrates well including my favorite music apps. Super impressed with the longer battery life. The amoled display is bright enough to see even in bright sunshine and the connection to GPS is so much faster. Liked it so much bought one for my spouse!!
