To recap

A full feature set for multisport athletes in an easy to wear design. The great battery life and support for smartwatch functions means you’re fully informed whether that’s on your daily activity or the specifics of your training. There’s no altimeter and the use interface isn’t the most logical, but it’s a solid performer.
