A Great Watch, But...
For the price, you're getting an middle level Garmin exercise watch. There's only one complaint that I have about the watch during my ownership and it's the lackluster GPS. It only tracks where you go, but cannot put it onto a map. This means that you can't use it for directions, other than this small complaint, the watch is brilliant at what it does.

The best watch to begin with a Fitness Journey.
This watch is excellent for people that are starting to train or running. The analysis of each activity is amazing. I wish it had other activities so I can make a progress report. The suggestions are on-point. The connect app lets you see the progress and the areas need of improvement.
