Lightweight, has a few bugs that restart the watch but other than that, I'm definitely

The Love Affair is Ending

Garmin's sleep tracking is not nearly as good as Fitbit or Apple. Some garmins (with older sensors) have third tier accuracy on HR.

I'm completely lost in what watch

GT 5 or GT6 as first watch

Small gps smartwatch for females

Garmin 265s or the 570 42mm size if you have the budget. I would get these if you think she might really get into running If she just going to do it occasionally then venu 3s, it's a pretty garmin.
