This watch made me a runner. I ran 5k, 10k and now preparing for half marathon. I recommend it. Excellent battery life.
I used to have an Apple Watch 7. I ditched it as it was always discharged when I wanted to exercise.

Showing as lowest price ever on that site. I love my vivoactive 4 but I beat the heck out of it, this looks like it would be a nice upgrade!

I think the Vivoactive has a steel bezel. The Forerunners are all plastic. Some features are upgrades from your Vivoactive, but others are not. Also, both of those watches are pretty old and lack the latest Garmin sports and health features.

Thank you! Mine does have the steel bezel and it has some huge scratches and gouges in it, I'm not sure plastic body could have held up to some of the abuse this has been through.

Plus 10% back with prime store card.

I've been waiting for the music version of this to drop to $200 for a long time to replace my VA4 (not because I want/need music, but because I'm partial to white - damn you Garmin!)

I highly prefer the look of the Forerunners, and the glass on them is inset so less likely to get scratched, where on the VA4 the glass protrudes a bit beyond the bezel (mine's scratch free though).

I figure if you really want the more formal metal look, the MARQ line is what you should be looking at, but, you know, you're going to pay for it.

Great deal! If you want to take your running more seriously there is nothing to think about here.

This is an excellent watch. I switched from Garmin's smallest GPS enabled watch thr Vivosport to a 255S (S means a smaller screen). The reason I picked the 255 is because it has the trail running activity (grade adjusted pace and topography mapping)... Regular running activity won't track GAP. And it also has the same wide array of GPS satellite constellations for improved tracking and battery life (depending upon GPS constellation you select). If you're wavering on which of the many watches Garmin sells, the 255 is their main line watch and will do everything you want.
Side note they do make a 255 Music... Which will play uploaded mp3 or Spotify songs, but this isn't that version.

Battery life on these is pretty wild. My 945 lasts all week easily with about five hours of running interspersed throughout the week. I've never been concerned about the battery being dead or low.
