Review: If you’re thinking of replacing your Apple Watch, do it. - Absolutely love my Garmin - beats an Apple Watch every time. The battery life, the accuracy, the insights, and just the simplicity of it. The app isn’t amazing but I don’t care too much about that tbh. So long as it’s usable and helps keep me on track that’s the main thing. The battery life really is a game changer, I only have to charge it once every 10-14 days.
Review: Much better than the older models. - Excellent quality from Garmin as ever, very comfortable and perfect size for my slightly smaller wrists. Best watch for regular non-obsessive runners who don’t need all the extra crazy stats! Much easier to work and better functionality and design than my old 645Music. Always connects to the phone when in range unlike the old kit!
