It is a beautiful watch that certainly meets my expectations. After much hesitation, I switched from a Polar to this Garmin because I spoke to many fellow runners who are enthusiastic about this brand.
What immediately strikes me during setup is that it really has a lot of features. So many, in fact, that I don't always find the structural logic in the app, as well as on the watch, to be entirely logical. For example, I spent quite a long time searching for the settings to switch from Miles to Kilometers, and for adjustments to the displayed speed. You can get pretty far with the help of the internet. But perhaps that says something about a particular logic? With Polar, this was structured more logically, or in other words, not so hidden.
Furthermore, you receive clear and insightful advice regarding your performance, the recommended rest or sports activity, and how intense it could be to maintain recovery.
The screen is easy to read, and you can adjust the brightness during your activity. You can also organize the data displayed during your activity and add multiple follow-up screens to scroll through. Notifications and incoming calls are also displayed on the screen, with the watch vibrating as well. So, missing a call is no longer necessary.
I have been wearing the watch for a week now, and so far, I am very pleased with it. On to the next few weeks!
