Great running watch - elegant and accurate
Looks great, easy to use, tracks all my runs easily and accurately, heart rate function good, links to iPhone, can use it to control music on my phone, enjoying the pre-set workout function too. Really happy with it.

Lovely watch you can wear all the time
Best watch ever. Much better than the 5s.

Unreliable + wifi doesn't work
I bought this watch from another supplier at a higher cost. I ended up returning it because the wifi (and therefore several of the features like weather/temperature) simply did not work. I wasted a day speaking with Garmin support, updating maps, firmware, tweaking settings on my router. None of which could fix the fact that wifi simply doesn't work on many of these watches. Even if wifi had worked, it uses an ancient protocol (802.11 b and g) that has been out of date since about 2002. No wonder it has so many issues. I'm a software engineer, and I couldn't make it work despite trying four different wifi networks, and dumbing my router down to 2002 tech.I wish I'd read a bit more widely before purchase. From research I've done since, it seems that software unreliability is a widespread problem at Garmin. Many, many other customers were complaining about wifi not working in their devices for years before my purchase. Plenty of time to fix the problem if they were going to.I felt I had to write this review, as most of the review sites out there seem to only have rosy reviews. I can only imagine they are whitewashed, because when you go onto the Garmin support forums, you find no shortage of people complaining about the issue I mentioned above amongst others. For a watch that cost me nearly £800, the unreliability I experienced was simply unacceptable.
