This seems like a good deal. I spent twice as much on my Gen 2 Epix Genesis, and this one seems to have the functionality I use most of the time.

Had mine since it came out and I'm still 100% happy with it. It's a couple years old and still gets the full 11 days battery life as advertised. It's light and low profile, and doesn't constantly get caught on my sleeves like my instinct 2.

The only strange thing is that the Bluetooth range seems fairly short. My instinct 2 will stay connected even if I go out to my detached garage without my phone, but the forerunner will lose connection even in the next room. For fitness related stuff, I only use step tracking and broadcasting heart rate to my Garmin cycling computer, so I can't speak to any of the other stuff it's capable of, like GPS.

I've had this watch before - it's fairly decent if you're willing to tolerate the dim screen. Otherwise they have OLED versions

Sam's Club has the Vivoactive 5 for $179.00 right now. I believe it's a touch better than this one.

That one supports music directly on the watch, which is $50 more for the Forerunner, so if that's something you need the Vivoactive is definitely a better choice.
