Review: Perfect running watch - This is my first running watch and I'm impressed. The watch looks neat and isn't too bulky on the wrist, is comfortable to wear (I am wearing the watch 24/7 with the optical heart rate monitor on) and has worked perfectly all along. I have so far used it mainly for running and also use the Garmin Coach, which has been a really positive experience. I use the Garmin Connect app, which is great and has lots of features, but also still sync the data to Strava, which works without problem as well. The sync maps to existing Strava segments along the route, but just creates standard 1k splits, not the splits created by the Garmin watch/ coach. I see myself working mostly with the Garmin app now though anyway as it gives me more features than my free Strava app and suits my needs very well. Noteworthy is that the HR monitor can give inaccurate/ erratic readings, if the sensor not cleaned regularly. I rinse it down with water after every run now, blot the watch dry slightly, avoiding the sensor and then wipe the sensor with optical glasses wipes instead of a towel or cloth. I also avoid body lotion on the wrist where I'm wearing the watch. The readings seem totally fine now. I use the watch 4-6 hours/ week with GPS on for running and have the HR monitor on pretty much all the time. With this, I charge the watch at most once a week. Adding Bluetooth phone connection, it needs charging app every 3-4 days. It charges pretty fast (around 1- 2 hours to full charge), so I'm very pleased with this also.
Review: Really accurately tracks your exercise and metrics - Brilliant exercise watch - especially for running, compared it to my chest strap HR monitor and Wahoo bike computer and everything is within a small % of variance (less than 2%). Great for going running without having to take the phone. The battery life is much better than anything with a touch screen but just make sure you have a good charge if you are running and listening to music for over 10k as running this and GPS chews through the battery about 16% an hour. Previously I had a Samsung watch Active 2 before this and it was hopeless at tracking HR for any activity, it needed daily charging and then it took on water when I went swimming. Definitely a Garmin convert - great product so far!

A: If you want to use the following functions:

1. Music downloads/sync

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift for Husband
*by S***S on 9 February 2022*

This was bought as a christmas present for my husband. He likes the look and feel of the watch. He has enjoyed getting to grips with the data (his first smart watch), tracking oxygenation, heart rate etc. He is also happy that he can now more accurately track his running route and monitor his ongoing times, improvements, health and stamina. The price is more than I would have liked to have spent, but after reading a lot of reviews this seemed to be the most suitable for a distance, cross country runner.
