I "downgraded" from VivoActive and it

I "downgraded" from VivoActive and it was a very good decision. This watch has excellent battery life. Probably, because it doesn't have a touch screen (I've found touch screen in a watch to be rather annoying than useful). It could work 2 weeks without charging still recording some workouts. Even with heavy usage the battery lasts a week. You can record many hours of workout like long hikes etc. It has an option of hart rate broadcasting that is useful to connect it with bike computers. It has some basic music control that I don't use. Very good product taking its price into account.

I had a Garmin Venue and

I had a Garmin Venue and it just wouldn’t keep a charge so I decided to get this new Forerunner and I love it. Holds a charge for weeks. I’m still trying to figure it out, but I have had Garmin watches for over a decade and generally think they are reliable. My first Forerunner was just for working out and an ugly big black rectangle. This one is stylish. Also, it has an adjustable band which is good because I have a small wrist and it’s hard to find bands to fit.

  • 1. Order Confirmation

    Right after checkout you receive an email summarizing your purchase, billing & shipping details, and order number. Keep this message handy—it’s your receipt and first reference point.

  • 2. Processing

    Our team verifies payment, allocates stock, and preps the paperwork. If anything stalls (e.g., back‑order), we’ll reach out by phone or email with options.

  • 3. Packing & Labeling

    Products are securely boxed or palletized, then matched with the best carrier: small parcels go UPS/FedEx/USPS; bulky items ride LTL freight. Lead‑time estimates live on every product page.

  • 4. Shipping & Tracking

Are your products covered by a warranty?

Absolutely. Every brand we carry comes with the manufacturer’s warranty—minimum 1 year, often longer on frames and motors. We’re an authorized dealer, so your warranty is 100 % valid. Need help with a claim? Our support team handles all paperwork for you.

Will you price‑match another store?

Yes. If you find an identical item in stock at a lower delivered price, send us the quote or link before you buy and we’ll match it. Our Price‑Match Guarantee protects you for 60 days after purchase as well.
