After a few years of running, I decided to take things more seriously and bought this wrist-worn computer. I can't find a single fault with it; it’s a top-notch tool that really motivates me to get moving. Was it perhaps overkill for my needs? Maybe. I specifically wanted the sapphire crystal, which still looks brand new after a month of use. The watch lived up to all my expectations, and delivery was fast.
As a side note, I ordered a Garmin Ultrafit nylon strap to go with it, as I find the watch's silicone strap a bit uncomfortable.
