    Excellent product. The tracking seems very accurate, the maps are really handy, the integrations with apps like strava work really well. Garmin connect is a great app and the sync with the watch works really well. Has me excited about hitting the trails again, even if it's winter. The battery seems to last forever which is a huge plus. Haven't tested the solar charging yet. The sleep tracking seems off occasionally, particularly if you wake up and then sleep again. Still, a fantastic purchase. 5/5.

    My first smart watch and I think it’s great. Many watch face options. Enjoy the gym with music and not having to carry my phone. Three thumbs up!

    Great watch the only complaint is that the location services does not work. Tried to contact Garmin and they said they have no resolution for this issue and now it is out of the return window. This is a functionality is a must for him. If you don’t need this feature then you’ll love this watch. Otherwise look elsewhere.

    It is not convenient as apple watch for checking your email, text, and other notifications. But, this gorgeous-looking watch works great for health-monitoring and any excercises.

    This is a good watch for the active people. However, preventing the sleep mode from being removed is not a good user experience. Also, unless you do the extra steps, your sleep data will not automatically transfer to your app

    Best watch over ever owned. Touch screen can be a little glitchy at times but I just turn the touchscreen from on to off then back on and it fixes itself. Amazing watch.

    Coming from a 3 year Fenix 6X Sapphire, I immediately jumped on this watch and bought it from Bestbuy. I had it for 40 days. And while there were some subtle improvements over the previous generation, it left me kind of disappointed for more. I realize this isn't the Apple watch that changes every year, also realize that this is meant for more rugged activities. I did appreciate that a lot, but I was using it in conjunction with a Whoop and a lot of the analytics the Fenix provided were redundantly provided by the Whoop. Though the real reason I returned it in exchange for an Apple Watch 7 Stainless was because the buttons had a sticky/clicky weird feedback to them after only a month of ownership where sometimes I'd have to double press hard. As being the flagship, no compromise watch that it's supposed to be, that left a bad taste in my mouth. Ended up returning it.
