I bought this about a month ago- very happy with this purchase. I've previously owned Garmin and Apple wearables and this one has been very accurate, intuitive, comfortable and tracks what I'm hoping for. I recently took it to Europe and tracked 4+ days on the Tour du Mont Blanc (8 hr days) before needing to charge it. indyhiker · backcountry.com
