Lack of use of screen real estate
I was a little bit more hopeful for this watch than my last one. I definitely looked forward to using it. I loved the interface and how it functions. It was very easy to set up and use. It's very intuitive. However, the things that I didn't like about it outweigh what I love about it. I found that my sleep record was wildly off. I would wake up 2 to 3 hours in the middle of the night and it did not see that as a wake time. I also found that the golf maps did not update as seamlessly as other brands. I was hoping that it would be a little bit more intuitive on that app as well. The golf part is definitely in need of work. There is no time indicated on it when you're in the golf mode and it has to be on all the time. This drains the battery significantly and while I do like a lot of the other features, it definitely needs some updates. The battery life is incredible and overall I do like this watch. I just feel like it is way more expensive than it should be for such basic features. The screen real estate is also not put to use. It looks like about a half an inch is lost on the screen real estate from the actual screen size. Why not use the entire thing?

Love the data
Switched to Garmin from the apple watch series 8 and the health data is much more helpful and much more in depth than the data Apple gives. I love the circle form factor and thought it was too large for my wrist but ive gotten used to the size. If you are trying to change your lifestyle and be more active this watch is for you!

Perfect!!
Absolutely in love with this watch! I love everything about it but I specifically love the way that it reminds me to move every so often. Not just get up and walk but it gives 3 choices of exercises and it shows you what to do and congratulates you in the end. I definitely recommend!
