    If you want to focus on the workout, this is the watch. Leave the phone at home, in the car, etc. Your "GOGO GADGET" is the Garmin Fenix. I have both the 6X Pro and the 5X plus both on par.

    The Best Fitness Tracking Device I've Owned

    This watch is probably overkill, but its the best fitness tracker I'ver ever used. I have previously used a number of fitbit devices, Apple watche(s), and Jawbone. I prefer the garmin line over the others.

    Great watch. It covers all my fitness needs. Lots of watch faces and also cover all my mapping needs. As a firefighter, I use it on wildland fire to read terrain and track specific locations!

    I already had Fenix 3S and has been a fan ever since of this series so went ahead and bought this watch, to my dissappointment the watch stopped booting and charging after a month of use, had to get in touch with Garmin and got the watch replaced but this left a bad taste as I was not expecting this out of such a solid watch. I would not recommend this at a full price but if there is a good deal it has so much to offer comparing to the earlier version. Battery life is obviously less that Fenix3 because of the HR sensor - lasts about weeks with nominal use and gets worst with more activities.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Got this watch for my boyfriend in December and he has worn it everyday since. He loves the watch so much. The stress level feature. Great for hiking, gym sessions and just everyday life.

    I loved all the options on this phone. Easy to maneuver around all the apps and widgets. Ended up returning for the soul purpose of the display not being good enough.

    It does everything I need and then some. It’s no Apple watch, but it does so much more. I really like the pulse oximetry, sleep quality details, and other features. It’s lightweight and durable. Pretty satisfied overall.
