This is the best Fitness tracking device I have ever owned! It does exactly what you read it can do! It does take a little time to figure out some of the functions. However between the online information on the Garmin site and there AWESOME customer service. You will be up and tracking in no time. I also love that i do not have to charge this every day. So far it is about once a week.
I highly recommend this if Fitness tracking is what you're after!
My first smart watch was a Samsung Galaxy. I bought it as a way to track my workouts. That function was well below average.

It’s been almost 6 months since my purchase. I like everything about this watch except a few things. Overall comfort and heart rate accuracy, (especially when you are working out) could be substantially improved. Other than those I love it. Battery lasts weeks, keeps a good track of my activity and sleep, lots of outdoor activity related stats etc.. I am just annoyed about the accuracy of heart rate though. I read that some people solved the issue by tightening the strap but it feels too uncomfortable when you do that. I wish it felt like as comfortable as Apple Watch.

Literally can’t say enough amazing things about Garmin smart watches. This is my 4th one, I just upgrade when they release a new one and this is by far my favorite. Screen is a little bigger than the previous, and the display quality is much better. Battery life is impeccable. I can’t wait to see the next one they come out with. Also I love the bulk of this watch. Looks super manly. I hate small watches, I am 6’5” 270 and this watch is perfect for my size. If you have tiny wrists you probably won’t like this one then. Buy it. You’ll love it.

I broke the screen on my Apple Watch and needed to replace it. I wanted a watch focused on fitness and with a longer battery life so I didn’t have to worry about charging daily while on backpacking trips. I’m really pleased with this purchase. I’m able to review more data than I know what to do with for my daily workouts, my watch lasts over a week between charges, and it’s great to have a good strength training workout app out of the box. I was also able to download a rock climbing app for tracking climbing workouts. There is nothing that I miss about my Apple Watch. This was a great purchase.

The watch is pricey... but I love the features on it especially the battery charge. I went to Colorado and the altimeter reading was excellent. I have not been using the map function as much and the battery was still at 39% after 18 days. I also have the Suunto and Samsung watches but this is by far the best smart watch that I ever had with the functions that I need..
I wish it has more watch faces available for download on the Garmin app site.

I've had my Fenix 3hr sapphire for a couple years and was looking to upgrade. This watch has easier to read screen with larger fonts and larger screen. Bluetooth has longer range and battery lasts crazy long time. Functions are essentially the same with tweaks here and there. Haven't taken it on a paddle or bike ride yet but guessing it will be better than the 3hr.
Love this watch already.

This is my third Fenix. Love it's toughness, the exercise metrics and the traditional watch look. If you want exercise and adventure metrics first and a smart watch second, look no further. It's expensive, but with reasonable care it will last 3-5 years or more.
Mine had an issue with the barometric altimeter, but it was a firmware issue that was fixed with an update.

I had the fenix 3 and was very happy with it. I have been looking to upgrade and finally took the plunge. This is of equal quality with with some great technical upgrades. I've not seen many wearables with accurate pulse monitors and this one seems to have the same accuracy issues. Outside of that, I love this watch.
I am pretty rough on my gear and from what I have seen of most wearables, they can be fragile. So far, so good, no issues.

The extra .4" of display makes all the difference. When I went looking I was considering the Tactix Delta, but it was $200 more, and the difference was two modes I'd never use. After over 2 years on the Bravo, there is not a scratch on the Sapphire lens, and only minor rubbing on the bezel. This time around I'm actually using some of the smart functions.

I received this amazing watch from my wife for our wedding anniversary. This watch is something that you cannot leave home without. It has everything you need in a watch. Time is easy to tell. I am able to track my oxygen levels as well as an accurate heart rate, which is very helpful especially while exercising. I like to go on long bike rides, and this watch even has a gps monitor in case of any emergency. This is a must have!

Expensive, but worth it. This (not too) smart watch is an excellent 2nd display, as well as the best fitness/sports watch on the market. 51mm fits my large wrists well (may look a bit large if you're medium or small framed). Battery life is easily 2 weeks if you're not using GPS. Maybe 2 days with occasional GPS (hiking) use.

Fantastic fitness tracker in an attractive watch package. Too many of the watches out there are an accessory that "does fitness tracking things". This ticks all the boxes as an effective fitness tracker FIRST and a watch/accessory second. Bullet proof design with high durability, this watch can take what you dish out and look good doing it!

Takes some time getting to know this watch but really this can do it all. It's perfect for any athlete or just someone like myself who wants to run more and get faster. I bought this watch to motivate me to run more and so far it works. Using the garmin coach it keeps me on track and keels track of my runs really accurately.Would highly recommend!

Garmin Fenix series are the best. Long battery life, tons of health data such as HRV, automatic sleep monitoring, Tons of apps, widgets on the Connect store. Seamless connection with the index S2 scale, inreach mini etc.
