It's has a bazillion features and is highly accurate. Super easy to use and comfortable to wear.
The only issue at first was that the charging cable didn't seem to fit in nicely (was not easy to connect) but that has improved over time and meanwhile, Garmin went ahead and sent out a new cable (complimentary) which is now still in the package. Great customer service.
Couldn't be happier with this item.
