The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
The type of technology used in the display.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
The ATM rating indicates how much water pressure a device can withstand. 3 ATM is one of the lowest ratings and means that the device can only withstand splashes of water, whereas 20 ATM is one of the highest ratings and means that the device can be used for snorkeling and water sports.
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
Damage-resistant glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass or Asahi Dragontrail Glass) is thin, lightweight, and can withstand high levels of force.
Gorilla Glass is one of the most popular brands of chemically strengthened glass, manufactured by Corning. Several versions have been developed, the newer ones being more durable and providing better damage resistance.
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.

I have been a Garmin athlete for 20 years, however, this is my LAST Garmin product...the software is soo unreliable....when they update the system, it breaks a few things that matter (tracking activity, minutes, etc.)...the HR monitor is unreliable as is Intensity minutes...going Apple :(

Too bad for a Garmin.

I have one, bought a year ago, outside Brazil. That is, without Warranty, as Garmin does not give international warranty, for Brazil. The watch has very low altitude accuracy, with a variation of +/- 18 meters, between measurements, for the same location. The oximeter is unable to take a measurement. Under some conditions, the HR reading fails. The compass does not work, even changing the "widget". The "software" is bad. It's just beautiful, really.
