  • Premium positioning: some compare it favorably to Garmin, others find it not entirely mature.
  • Product evolution: better hardware but software still behind according to several feedbacks.

Advice :

Very solid watch on hardware: screen, autonomy, comfort. Nothing to say about that.

But on the software side, it remains below Garmin standards. Less fluid, less square, sometimes frustrating.

If you are looking for a watch for sports, hiking, long use without fuss → good choice.
If you want an ultra-smooth and smooth experience → it can quickly get annoying.
