5 / 5

Top device for the endurance athlete

- Vincent 5 January 2026

I switched from an Apple Watch 8 to this one, mainly because I needed a better battery. In fact, I often run 15+km and my Apple barely manages that when GPS is active for that long. This Garmin is really a breath of fresh air. The look is a bit sportier, which I'm not necessarily looking for for everyday life. For running, however, this is a big step forward.

Pros & Cons

Battery life
Connection with apps like Trenara and Strava
Touchscreen
Feels a bit clunkier than my Apple Watch
Few standard options display

Hugely satisfied with it, the watch motivates me for more exercise.

- Shuren 30 December 2025

I am extremely happy with this watch! It is very easy to use and gives good analysis of your sports activities but also of your sleep and rest. The connection between the Garmin and Strava works great, which completes the overview. The battery is actually the biggest plus: with daily use with GPS it lasts more than a week, and without GPS even double that. I find that really quite impressive. In short: a reliable sports watch with excellent usability, deep analytics and an impressive battery life.

Pros & Cons

Changing straps
Connection between the watch and Strava
Good analysis
Long battery life
Route tracking

5 / 5

Fine sports watch with lots of features, long battery life, clear colours and screen.

- N. 8 September 2025

After always having had a Polar, I took the plunge anyway, and switched to Garmin. So far, no regrets at all. Very nice, lightweight and clear watch. I also like the step count, so I finally know what I do in a day (in terms of steps). I do find it annoying that you have to change your display both in Garmin Connect and on your watch. For example what values you want to see when you run, walk, bike, etc. What units you want to use, metric or imperial.

Pros & Cons

Clear display
Good battery life
Many options
Very light weight
