A: No
Q: Does it come with a charger?
A: It comes with a USB cable to attach to your computer. I had to buy a USB wall charger.
A: It does, but I am returning after 1 day. Maps are glitchy and stopped downloading after 30 percent complete. Seemed very glitchy.

Honest Review + Benefits (Check Bullet Points)
I've used over 10 different watches in my life and all in all the 965 is probably the best smart watch I have purchased albeit ata very premium price. That being said, comparing a Garmin watch to an Apple or Google watch is like comparing apples to oranges (no pun intended). You are going to have to sacrifice seamless integration and answering calls and texts, but the payoff is HUGE. -Better battery life (22-30 days for me) -Significantly more fitness based -3rd party watch faces -premium build -durable: The gorilla glass is incredibly strong so far -Metrics: training readiness, sleep coach, status, estimated race times, training plans, auto strength workout, etc -Checks HR every second of every day (as opposed to once per hour)

You won't be disappointed
This is the best smartwatch I've used. Coming from a pixel watch it's a good experience. The battery life is amazing and it accurately tracks my runs. I got it for running triathlons and no issues. The only downside is that it's not the pure Android wear ecosystem but if you need messages to show up, battery longevity, accurate tracking. This is the device for you!
