A:AnswerThe Garmin app provides a lot of detail including map of your ride. You can see heat map for speed. In addition, you can overlay heart rate and altitude. Also, I like how it shows your heart rate zones and how much time you spend in each one. Very helpful to see how you perform and if you are targeting a specific zone. Map detail allows you to review ride at a high level.

A:AnswerWhat good is a fitness device with inaccurate heart bpm? Perhaps most of the other +++++ reviews are paid?
Over the past 10 yrs, this is my 8th and last device from Garmin. A total disappointment with its gross lack of accuracy, hardware failure (within the past 48 hours it froze twice, could only correct it by letting the watch battery drain completely and then recharge it). Software design and options are mediocre, annoying at times and inefficient.
To make matters worse, Garmin’s customer service is an even greater disappointment with its gross lack of professionalism, incompetency and no respect for Garmin patrons (durring all my 12 encounters and 7 hours I’ve wasted with them)!
A:AnswerYes, the phone is only used for sending notifications to the device and uploading data throughout the day if paired using Garmin Connect Mobile.

A:AnswerNo, it does not (at least not on iPhone). It notifies you that you’ve got an incoming call (vibrates) but you can’t take the call, raise your hand, and begin speaking through the watch like you would be he Apple Watch.
