    So I’ve had a Garmin fenix 3 for 3 years and it has been flawless. I loved all the new features on this fenix5x plus and for the first 45 days it ran great. Not sure what happened. Woke up one morning and the steps read zero. Hasn’t moved since. Have been trouble shooting but am about to send back. Just want it to work! Really nice watch

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Purchase this watch also for my husband. He was not a fan. Unable to respond to text messages on screen was a big no for him. The watch looks very manly and if you purchase this with the understanding that it would not send text messages this would be the watch for you
