I’ve been with Polar for the last 18+ years I truly love the watches… BUT i always wanted a Garmin watch, Well, finally did it and let me tell you I I’m love with this watch! Amazing in every aspect, battery life, display, apps, design!. I’m still learning this watch be cause it has a lot a features! It was expensive but honestly I think it’s worth it. It took me 1-2 days to get used to the size and weight be cuz I have the 51mm. But now everything is good =D. My only complain is the SOS is not free… I’m hoping they will change that.. I understand the phone subscription, but SOS needs to be free. Other than that AMAZING watch!

Watch has so many features i havent been able to use all of them for having the watch for a few weeks already. Battery life lasts a long time more than my Samsung. This has more power and is alot brighter. The band is slightly uncomfortable, so make sure you buy a pack of the silicone or velcro straps

I've had this watch for over 6 months now and I was really wondering how It would hold up...So far its great! the bezel gets scratches from everyday use. I'm a Mechanic and don't treat this thing as well as I should. The Saphire screen is practically bulletproof. This watch does an amazing amount of things. Just like any new leap in tech, I cant imagine not having this watch on me every day. I can justify the cost because it has all the health monitoring, Exercise activities. Plus dive Computer! Which works better than any other non air integrated computers that I have used. It has the In-Reach features for emergency response. It has detailed maps for GPS use and tracking. All Those things wrapped into one piece of tech that fits on my wrist justifies the high price. The battery lasts about a week and a half with normal use. If you use the GPS and other power hungry features its a little less...but still Excellent. My favorite functions are the Dive computer, the Altimeter, and to answer phone calls and talk via the watch, The Flashlight is surprisingly useful as well. Negatives: bezel scratches easily, but the screen doesn't have a single scratch You really have to learn how to use this watch to get the features to work exactly how you would expect. it takes a little while to get everything set up. but with a feature dense piece of tech like this its totally expected. I would definitely buy this again.
