My first sports watch. It took a little while to get used to the menus, but after just over two weeks of use, I’m very satisfied. Heart rate monitoring, tracking location/distance while running, and sleep tracking have been the main uses so far, and I’ve been really happy with them.Erinomainen laite! Varsinaisiin seikkailukelloihin verrattuna selkeästi pienempi ja sopivan kokoinen yleiskäyttöön, mutta kuitenkin sisältää käytännössä kaikki samat ohjelmat.

A great watch for sports. The long battery life is a major plus; it lasts about 13 days with normal use. The sapphire crystal is another big advantage, so you don't have to worry too much about what the watch bumps into. The GPS works well—no complaints there—though Garmin's sleep tracking algorithm is inferior to the competition's; for instance, Apple's and Google's algorithms are far more reliable. Personally, I wouldn't pay too much attention to what Garmin reports regarding sleep. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the watch and would recommend it to other athletes.
