Review: A M A Z I N G - This watch is awesome for the things it is capable to do for a runner, such as myself. I've moved on from a Samsung Watch 5(Samsung fan), to this and I have not been disappointed! I'd say it is pretty pricy, and this is my first time ever owning such a watch. I had picked this(2nd best) over Garmin's Fenix 8 (Their top watch), due to me not really wanting to pay a little extra for the extra features such as the Solar Charging or Longer battery life, because I don't mind charging my watch ever so often and I am not outside THAT much for it to make a difference. At least 2 hours at most for my training. The watch will last me a long enough (~10 to 14days) without charging and I am happy with that versus me having to charge my Samsung watch like 1.5x a day which was getting annoying. The quality of the watch is amazing, the Glass is supposed to be stronger than the Gorilla kind and the material of the bezel makes it look so premium. The charging speed is also pretty good, I don't realize how fast it charges but I know it's quick (~1hr) from 0 to 100. The sensors it has seems pretty good and capable of tracking my daily results. It is keeping me in shape. Overall I recommend for the runners or just anyone who likes to keep track of things or a good, lasting watch!
Review: Great watch for 90% of us. - I’m not a crazy ultramarathoner, but i workout three times a week. I have health issues, and want to monitor my sleep and overall health. I want to stay in touch with work and get other alerts, but I need more than 50 minutes of battery life. ( Crap, I’m late for a meeting. And I forgot the milk. Again. ) I’ve found there are few watches for those needs, basically what most of us want. Right now your choices are a really expensive Apple Watch Ultra with terrible battery life or no smart watch features and great battery life. (Come on COROS! No calendar?! For reals?!). Garmin has owned the middle ground for a while now, but they have become increasingly expensive. The Venu 4 and Forerunner 570 are waaay too expensive at $550. The Forerunner 970 seems expensive but you get a lot - it’s essentially a plastic Fenix 8. Great battery life, lots of features, huge ecosystem, good software support. Over the past week, I’ve been to the boxing gym three times, saw dips in sleep quality during a stressful time at work, keep up with my idiot friends’ test messages, and can use the watch to alert me when I’m on call. And it still has 60% battery life. It fits my needs well. If you want a computer on your wrist - this isn’t the watch for you. If you run Ultramarathons across the artic - not for you. If it’s on sale and you are an average guy (or woman) like me, go for it. Thanks for reading!

## Features

- Our brightest AMOLED touchscreen display with button controls, a lightweight titanium bezel and sapphire lens, plus a built-in LED flashlight for greater awareness in the dark during early morning or late-night runs
- Up to 15 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to 26 hours in GPS mode for a more complete picture of your training and recovery
- Understand your overall energy efficiency with running economy, and see how much you’re slowing down when your foot hits the ground with step speed loss (HRM 600 monitor required; sold separately); running tolerance helps you understand the real impact running has on your body so you can adjust your training to avoid overload and improve
- Train for an event, achieve a milestone, or improve your fitness with Garmin Coach training plans; these running and triathlon plans are personalized to you and adapt based on your performance and recovery
- Built-in microphone and speaker let you make and take phone calls from your wrist when your watch is paired to your smartphone — and you can even use your smartphone’s voice assistant to respond to text messages and more
- Confidently run any route by using full-color, built-in maps and multi-band GPS; with dynamic round-trip routing, you can break off the path, and your watch will develop a new route that will get you the same mileage
- Training readiness score is based on sleep quality, recovery, training load and HRV status to determine if you’re primed to go hard and reap the rewards (data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked)
- ECG app can record your heart rhythm and check for signs of atrial fibrillation (not available in all countries; for people 22 years or older)
- Multisport auto-transition detects sport changes between swim, bike and run in multisport activities — so you can focus on the race and let your watch take care of recording splits
- Get wrist-based running dynamics, including cadence, stride length, ground contact time and more, plus wrist-based running power, which gives you a continuous measurement of how much power you’re applying to the ground

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You get what you pay for!
*by T***M on September 17, 2025*

I've tried 2 rings and 4 watches. This Garmin watch is not cheap, but you get what you pay for: The watch is solid and durable. It feels like it should last several years. The app (Connect) is fantastic. Huge detail, analysis, reminders, and recommendations. Most importantly, all the measurements are *correct*, especially the two meta numbers I care most about: fitness age and VO2max. If you are a runner, the Garmin ecosystem is optimized to analyze and suggest improvement routines. The maps are excellent. Overall, it's a premium watch and ownership experience, well worth it if you want correct data and plan to use it to improve.
