Great Running Watch!
Have had it for almost 2 months and even took it to visit family in El Salvador so it went on SEVERAL long hikes and excursions with me in rough jungle terrain- held up EXTREMELY well. Only charged it once on the entire 2 week trip and was able to get data for stress levels and sleep as well as recommendations for training on high stress/low stress days etc. Currently using the Garmin app Half marathon training plan to get ready for my first half marathon and can already see improvements in my runs. The watch automatically gives you the option to do the suggested exercise for the day or choose your own. So excited to use on race day!

Spectacular watch
My brother purchased this watch for me so I can record my Strava activity and VO2 max along with many other activities. I am very much impressed at the quality and all the features. I did own a Fitbit one time and somehow lost it. This is much better. Not only does it connect to my Strava app. It has an app by itself that gives a even more comprehensive analysis of my activies. I'm still finding out more and more of what this watch can do and it's amazing. I think a great selling point would apon purchase receive a free 3-6 month Strava premium membership. That would be a great sell. The app that you use with your watch can be viewed on your phone, laptop or PC. It even has its own community. This is the most accurate watch I have seen. Not bulky. It's light weight and stealthy. It took me a few hours to really get the buttons down so I knew how to effectively set things up when on the go. Just make sure to read the directions and watch some video tutorials. Doesn't take long. It even has a phone finder so when I lose my phone. I can hit a button for the phone to ring. I sorta wanted the music version, but this was a gift and I didn't want to look greedy. It does the job and does it well. 10/10 overall experience.

Solid Watch
Nice that this watch has touch screen, but if you want to keep screen on always the battery life isn’t the best. The watch faces are really hard to costomize. If you’re looking to save some money, I had the 145 and it was honestly more worth it IMO. A bit disappointed

AS well as exected
It is right what I was looking for. Light, no so big, and what I need to record my activities.

Good
I got this watch two weeks ago, and I can definitely say that the battery life isn’t as good as they say. Maybe I wasn’t lucky, but I have to charge my watch every other day during the week.
