The watch is fine once you customize your activities, but I can't get Amazon music to play on it. This is even after I downloaded and updated the Amazon music app on my watch and my phone, went to the app and selected "refresh all devices."

Glad I upgraded!
I've used a Garmin Vivomove 3S for many, many years, and was quite happy with it. But I got back into running last fall and have reached the point where I want some more data and heartrate guidance. I love the large display and metrics available. The physical buttons are so much nicer to manipulate while running (though some of the controls aren't super intuitive- takes some practice). And I really enjoy leaving my phone at home and being able to listen to music.

Keeps me motivated
Music helps clear my mind so I can train on my short runs as well as the long ones. Delivers great quality.

Works great - love it
Have been way more active since wearing this watch. It tracks so much including VO2 max. I am training for a marathon - perfect.

A lightweight alternative to my Fenix
I have a Fenix 7X (which I love) but decided to try this as it had all the features I use daily for running at about half the weight. I love that I don't need to carry my phone; everything I need is in the watch. The battery life is decent, and visibility in sunlight is good... great daily driver. The only think I miss is not having a flashlight. I'll save the Fenix for the hard work; hiking and navigating.

Great watch
Got it on sale a couple weeks ago and have been using the activity setting a ton. And the wide variety of informational settings it has are super useful. Great watch for the price absolutely love it.
