Tried this Garmin watch and I love its various functions.

When taking the Forerunner out for a runI was pleasantly surprised by a number of features I haven’t had on a Forerunner before.

The watch didn’t just predict my “Learning Readiness” based on how much I’ve run this week, but there are also smart features like Training Status, which shows how in shape you are at any given point.

It also has everything you would expect from a Garminsuch as the weather report, GPS maps, step count and HRV (heart rate variability status).

I love the battery life on this watch — which is infinitely better than my previous model.

I’ve found that I can go days (even a week?) without having to charge it, even though I often wear it 24 hours a day.

Reviewers agree with me, Amazon shoppers giving it a rating of 4.8 stars.

“Worth every dollar!” wrote one.

“If you’re looking for a watch that does everything you need, this is it.

“Battery life is amazing and the solar charging really helps extend the battery life without having to recharge as often. The accuracy of the maps and GPS is spot on and the detail is much better than I expected from a watch.”

Another said: “Awesome item”.
