I bought it when my Garmin GPS watch broke. What I didn't realize at the time is that there isn't in a GPS chip in the Apple Watch, it actually relies on the phone for that. When I run outside, I typically leave the phone at home. The watch somehow approximates it pretty well though. I have a routine that I know is exactly 5K, the apple watch will actually log it at around 4.85K. Close enough for my standards but if you are looking for precision during a run/walk that might not be good enough.
For daily use though it's fantastic. It has a pretty good calorie tracker and reminds you to be active. Heart rate monitor is great too.
