4 / 5

Fine choice for the average runner.

- Patrick 1 April 2025

Watch now owned for 3 weeks, like all other Garmin watches I've had this one also satisfies perfectly for the average runner. First three weeks no sleep score and HRV status visible yet, but it seems this can take a while for it to measure this to give a good impression. Also a nice bracelet, barely feels you have a watch on.

Pros & Cons

Easy to use and set up in the app
Fine watch band
Nice robust watch
Screen clearly visible
Automatic translation
