1. 24/7 wrist based heart rate monitoring. Very accurate during inactive and active periods.
2. 1 week battery life with all systems on GO. I haven't stress tested it with multiple runs but so far I'm reasonably happy with the battery. It's connected to my phone so I'm receiving notifications often and my heart rate is constantly monitored.
3. Accurate GPS tracking, with 3 options depending on your situation and demands on accuracy.
4. Great sleep tracking. You get a lot of great insights that can be used to make adjustments, improve sleep and optimize recovery.
5. Body battery is an interesting feature that allows you to identify when you're fully charged and ready to go and when you're drained and need to rest.
6. VO2 max and race predictor are great features that allow you to see when you are with your fitness and at your current levels of fitness the expected race times you'd likely hit.
7. Fitness age is an eye opening feature that determines your age based on your fitness and body weight. Gave me a harsh reality check!
8. Lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear! You won't even remember it's on your wrist.
The watch has more features, but for me all the above is what I depend on and thoroughly enjoy! For it's price point I say it's absolute value for me. I'm very happy with my purchase.
This watch ticks all the boxes for me, and I'm very happy with my purchase. I actually like the non-backlit screen (with a button for backlight) that's always on and reflects well under even low light. The GPS is exremely accurate, and even charted the fastest parts of my runs geographically. The app is FANTASTIC, it charts absolutely everything and breaks down every stat under the sun (also comes free with the watch, no subscription for all its features). It syncs with my Strava automatically to share runs with friends. I like that it isn't touch screen so I can feel the buttons to stop and start at lights, and it has a nice buzz to let me know when I do that.
I didn't want another "smart" device in my life, but this one is just limited enough for me. I don't have to take calls into my wrist like James Bond, or tap away on a tiny screen. I get email and text notifications which is surprisingly handy, so I'm taking my phone out less for less urgent things (which inevitably leads me to fiddling with other apps). I also use it as an alarm in the morning, it works great. It doesn't get in the way, and it does absolutely everything I needed it to do. I got the white one and it looks pretty nice, too. Highly recommend for runners, couldn't be happier.
As for the watch features, I was looking at all sorts of brands and all kinds of models and settled on this one and never looked back. I needed a time teller, a pedometer and a heart rate monitor, in no specific order. I received all of those and more with this wrist decor. Not only does the watch look nice and feel weightless on my skin when adjusted correctly, but it works so well at everything it was made to.
The heart rate monitor is very accurate when compared with other heart rate monitoring devices. It's simple to clean although I was afraid of damaging something whilst attempting to clear out the 'gunk' around the plug-in site. I didn't purchase the watch for the sleep related feature but it is an interesting bonus. After roughly 9-10 months of continuous 24-hour use, I finally started noticing it act up during my treadmill workouts. My heart rate would drop to 0 and at one point I saw it jump to 248. Since I wasn't dead or dying during any of these times, I thought I'd start turning it off at night and I haven't noticed the issue since. It could have just been an error that required an update but like I said, I didn't buy for the sleep feature anyhow.
The battery life is pretty good I'd say. When I told my husband one day that I should 'charge my watch tonight because it's been a couple weeks' he was really surprised. I keep track on my exercise calendar whenever I feel the need to plug in, which I do during the night so it doesn't interrupt my steps during the day. I normally charge once it hits somewhere in the 20's percentile. This takes (me specifically) two weeks to accomplish, with roughly an hour and a half, minimum, of recorded activities at least five days a week and the watch otherwise just being turned on consistently. Of course, there are extra outings that warrant using the start button once in a while and yet I still find my charge schedule to remain the same.
You can choose from a variety of watch faces that come standard but I definitely have enjoyed looking through the Garmin store at other options. The background I've used for quite some time now shows the moon in its current state and as a lifetime star gazer, this is a face I was more than happy to throw money at. I spent just a few dollars and received something around 10 different looks, several animated such as plants or flowers that grow or open as you complete your steps for the day- amazing, if you like that sort of thing, turns out I do.
Overall, I love my watch and I hope it lasts me a good, long time but if and when it finally dies from time cancer, I'll be sure to replace it with another Garmin. I hear there are Star Wars versions out there that I'd love to get my wrist into.

La correa es muy buena, me imagino que de la calidad de Garmin, mi impresión como primer reloj de este estilo es maravillosa.
