    I was an Apple Watch girlie until I was convinced by Tiktok of all things to make the switch and I will never go back. This watch has been so helpful in my ability to lose 20 pounds in 2024. I've had this watch for 3 full months now and can honestly say I am now forever a Garmin girlie!!

    Nice quality watch. I enjoy the sleep monitoring and body battery function. Also great battery life. Still haven't tried the workout routines but they look like pretty neat.

    A Wonderful Purchase

    It can really do it all. You can respond to texts/calls, you can track running, sleeping, and more. I love the size as it fits well on my small wrists. I would honestly give it 4.5 stars but Best Buy will not let me. The only small thing is that I feel the UI of the watch can be a tad overwhelming when it does come to fitness tracking and information.

    Beautiful Watch With long Battery Life

    Love the 7 day battery life! It’s also a beautiful, stylish design. One thing I would love to have is EKG abilities on this device. A big negative is that it doesn’t automatically detect when you start and stop an activity. You have to do it manually and so I sometimes will be recording activities that I finished a day ago.

    Love this watch. I really love the long battery Iife. I have some different watch bands which can change the look of the watch. The face gives me all the information I need at a glance.

    Returned as this watch was to assist with a recent medical diagnosis. Turned out an option by the Epilepsy Foundation was more in tune with our needs. I would have kept this but had to decide between the two watches. No fault of Garmin, just needed more specialized to my daughter’s medical condition.

    Bought this watch for my wife, she loves it. You can customize the watch screen with your own photos. It has great app features like monitoring sleep, heart rate, steps etc. All great tools. It's stylish looking, the only flaw is there isn't different sized watch bands to interchange with.

    Looks nice, but not intuitive, doesn’t update

    The biggest complaint I have about this watch is that it is very slow to update with phone apps such as weather and location, if it updates at all. For the last two days, it has shown me in another city even after updating manually using the watch app that is on my phone. I’m very disappointed with this watch….should’ve gotten another Apple Watch. The reason I chose this one was what I read about the battery life. It does shine over the Apple Watch in that respect, although if I could trade this watch in for an Apple Watch, I would in a heartbeat. I guess I will just have to wait until this one dies….

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
