Good sports watch for everyday "after work" training
The watch is very comfortable to wear thanks to the soft strap and the lack of a GPS hump. The operation is largely intuitive. Only during training did I need some time to get used to it at the beginning, as some things are accessed via the touchscreen and others via the buttons. Especially with sweaty fingers, operating the touchscreen during training can be a bit tedious. Since there is no barometer, the watch is completely unsuitable for outdoor activities where you need weather or altitude information. You do get altitude information via GPS, but only if you set the GPS accuracy to the best sensitivity. But then the watch only runs for 7.5 hours in my tests because of the small battery. This means that multi-day tours are simply not possible. Even on day hikes, where you are on the move for longer (NOT just the pure running time), you don't get a complete run. So for me, it's not a real multisport watch. For me, the watch's strengths are clearly as an "after-work" sports watch. The watch does a great job for the daily jogging, cycling "..." unit. The HR measurement on the wrist is certainly not as accurate as a chest strap and peaks during interval training are not exactly recorded, but it is completely sufficient to have a training tendency. The GPS is very accurate and determines the current position very quickly.
Movescount has improved a lot in recent years, but it lags far behind other platforms (such as runalyze) if you want to analyse your training more precisely. If you contact support, you are first asked to make your profile "public", otherwise they have no access to it. The fact that there is no support access, which I can activate if necessary, and thus have to make my profile accessible to the whole world, is a "no go" for me. After all, it's easy to find out where I live from my data and when I usually train and am therefore not at home...Pro

purchased this productRecommended purchase if you can do without the pedometer
Good non-functional sports watch with very good app and internet presence! Much better connect via app than with the Polar watches! Unfortunately the pedometer is very inaccurate!
