What reviewers say
Reviewers like the small, unobtrusive design, useful activity buttons and capable everyday fitness tracking. Tom's Guide found the screen readable in sunlight and heart-rate and distance results close to a fēnix 7 on a 5 km run, but missed an always-on display. T3 liked the quick GPS lock and adaptable Garmin Coach plan. Both highlight the absence of onboard music.
