### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Totally Recommended
*by L***2 on 30 May 2026*

A great watch. A big upgrade on my previous Garmin which I also loved.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Standard display, looks better in person…
*by S***R on 9 May 2026*

Brilliant watch for price, swapped from an Apple Watch. Excellent battery life compared to Apple and fitness metrics just not as exciting as an Apple Watch but no need for a daily charge. It’s a more robust watch too and I’m now a Garmin watch fan.
