Its strength are the ability to have music on it (so no phone) HR wrist monitor (and having compared it to chest strap, which you can also use, it's relatively comparable), VO2Max estimate, workout load analysis to tell if you're overdoing it/detraining/recovering/etc., and will also tell recovery hours after a workout and I found its calorie counter is really accurate as far as they go.
Then the app, Garmin Connect, is integrated easily with Strava and MyFitnessPal.

I've got a Forerunner 945, which I absolutely love, but it's definitely way more watch than most anyone really needs. Tons of functionality but lots of stuff is really unnecessary.
