Great Features and easy to use
Got this to help with refereeing sporting events. It works great as a normal watch and the solar keeps it charged.

My review
Had it for about 1 months. Nice features and able to change almost anything if desired. Definitely need to spend time studying as it is a not so intuitive set up, but very doable. Solar charging is over hyped by Garmin and offers little unless you park the watch in the sun and leave it for a few hours. But, overall, I like the watch alot and would buy it again.

Updated screen
I had one before this one and I loved it so when a car ran it over I purchased a new one. This one has more update screen and long lasting battery. I'm an outdoor person and it has what I need and some. I love this watch.

Best watch I’ve ever bought
Simple, rugged does everything you need with just a bit extra. If you have the cash buy it. Don’t think..just act.

Everything I wanted and nothing I didn’t
I’ve had it for a month now and love it. It’s everything I wanted and nothing I didn’t. Large enough display, battery lasts a long backpacking or mountaineering trip, plus. I don’t use it for maps so that was not an issue. I’m very happy I bought this one!

Simple and user friendly, long battery life
I got this watch because I didn't want all of the extra features that came with an Apple watch. I also wanted a battery that would last for longer than 1-1/2 days. So far, the watch battery is lasting as long as advertised. I charged it the first day and it said it was going to last 29 day, and its held to that. I also love the simplicity of it. It has enough features to satisfy my wants, like weather, step counter, and heart rate monitor, but none of the extra stuff that gets in the way and over-complicates it.

Reliable watch (so far)
This is a pretty good watch, it has all the functions I need. It gets 4 stars because it's not very intuitive, I had to check the manuals a couple of times in order to re-arrange screens, add ability to lap manually, etc.

A watch for everything
This watch is absolutely amazing. It's not to cumbersome like some watches (Galaxy watch4 Classic comes to mind), it has a forever lasting battery (mine hasn't died yet nor needed to be charged(down to 6 days)), and it tracks everything i need minus blood pressure. The offline maps work wonderful for hiking, I've tested them on the 9 mile Clark's Creek trail. It has a mode for everything. The solar charging keeps it going. In my line of work, offshore Oil rigs, it doesn't get in the way or snag on anything (I do wear it on the underside of my wrist because of this). Highly recommended for everyone.

One Of My Four Favorite Watches
I purchased this watch nearly a month ago and l'm mostly satisfied. My only regrets is it isn't amoled. Other than that, it's an awesome time piece.
