I use this watch as my standard watch now, having replaced a suunto vector. I have also replaced my garmin forerunner, edge and fenix 2.



As a day to day watch it looks smart amd like a normal watch as opposed to some of the other sports watches and event the fenix 2.



The activity tracking functions are useful and although the movement timer (watch buzzes at you've been inactive for too long during waking hours) can at times be irritating it is helpful. The step tracker isn't the most accurate and it will often miss more minor movements such as when I'm walking about whilst delivering a presentation, but is good enough.



As a sports watch it's proved to beotustandog, the battery life is good, covering me for the various activities. In terms of accuracy it's always seemed to be more or less identical to everyone else's watch. The amount of data you can generate from a single run or ride is handy, although the recovery timer is a bit generic and doesn't really take into account you're own physical capability but as with the steps is good enough. Tracback has proved handy on a number of occasions and is a good way of just trying out new run routes with confidence that you won't have any dramas making your way back, was also handy on a race that in he previous year of missed a turning but using the basic mapping function available was able to pick it up the second year.



There have been problems with the app in terms of transferring data across but for the most part it's been very quick and simple to use with the Bluetooth transfer and it's not affected the battery as much as I thought it would. Some of the smart watch functions have been quite handy as well (quickly checking a text without taking your phone out or turning down a call discreetly in a meeting). In addition the speed with which you can create your own sports app means you can add more specific use ability as you go along.
