Really liked it so far! I have small wrists and this is large enough to be able to read all the statistics while walking, but small enough that it stays in place. Battery lasts a long time, many programs/activity options. I mainly use it for running, which I think is great so far. Very easy to create workouts/routes and sync them with the watch. So far the GPS has been very accurate, my previous watch had a lot of trouble with laps in the park, but this one measures that well too.
The buttons take some getting used to, I had a Polar watch before and found the order/function of those buttons more logical. I think it's a shame that Garmin doesn't have a coaching program for a full marathon, but I use the half marathon program and am happy with it so far. All in all a comfortable watch with all the features I would want for running!

it offers a lot of information about your health. The GPS signal is better compared to my old watch. You can plan your own workouts, such as interval training for running, and the watch will guide you without you having to think for yourself. It can also create a route for you that you can follow with your watch. While walking it also displays the map and tells you whether you are on the right route or not. Pace pro is also a very useful feature for running a new PR.
