Pros: water resistance, workout tracking variety
Cons: LTE connectivity, ECG functionality
Battery life was generally praised, with reviewers reporting strong multi-day use and weeklong real-world wear, though one comparison called it modest versus the S70.
Pros: touchscreen responsiveness, health tracking accuracy
Cons: call handling, voice assistant quality
Battery life was generally good for an AMOLED Garmin and daily training, but reviewers flagged limits for long adventures, always-on use, or heavy GPS/music.
Pros: smartphone notifications, watch face quality
Cons: music controls, Wi-Fi connectivity
Most reviewers found battery life close to Garmin’s multi-day claim, often four to five days, though one heavy-use YouTube review saw only about three and a half days.
