It is clearly heavier than the 630 model, but to compensate, the measurement features and appearance have improved. The display is significantly brighter, so it is easier to monitor your heart rate - on the other hand, in winter, even when skiing, it can be a little challenging to put on gloves in severe frosts, but that is why heart rate belts were invented and the watch can be put in your pocket.

The watch has been a worthwhile investment, it gives a lot of good data which motivates you to move, makes it easier to monitor your recovery and makes it easier to develop your own running. In addition, it has very accurate sensors to read the values.
Especially when connected to the HRM-600 heart rate belt, it gives really good data for running, with it I was able to quickly improve my running technique after a break of several years.
