I purchased a Garmin Vivoactive 3 over four years ago and have always enjoyed wearing it. But the battery deteriorated and charging did not always happen automatically. Because I have a walking week this summer without electricity, I wanted a new smartwatch with a long battery life, also with GPS. And that's this one. Not much changes for me because I already had the 3. I also looked at Samsung and other smartwatches. But a: they are often much more expensive and b: the battery only lasts a day, and with GPS on only a few hours. You can't do a walking tour with that.

If you don't want to use the product for intensive jogging, then it is definitely recommended. It offers many possibilities and keeps track of how much you move and train intensively, how your sleep pattern is going, how your recovery is, what your stress level is, etc. I have been wearing the watch for two weeks now and have not even been able to try out all the options. It also regularly gives advice about your activities, sleep, stress, etc. The only downside I find is that the heart rate monitor is not that accurate, especially while running.

Great upgrade from my 4S, more than I need. But with more expensive watches you have even more functionalities.
