    This watch is excellent it helps me track so much information for my running. I like that every morning it has a recovery summary and daily suggestion. The gps seems better than it did on my fenix 6 too

    Awful customer service from Best Buy. I ordered this product through them. After a few weeks I received a discount code from garmin. Best Buy refused to price match after telling me they would as long as I went in person. Store manager was extremely rude and lied saying that I needed to call Best Buy for the price match even though I have it in writing they would they wouldn’t honor the discounted price. Customer service was no help and very rude on the phone. Overall awful experience and will not be shopping at Best Buy again.

    Dead after 6 months

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Watch died after using it for 6 months. First it started with random shutoff, more and more frequent in the past few days, then wouldn't start at all unless on charger and finally won't even start on the charger anymore. Need to go through an exchange with Garmin. Will be without a watch for several days as a result. Lots of talks about this issue on social media for this model just dying, especially after updating. Not a good look for Garmin. Good watch overall, the scuba diving feature is great. Their app UI (Garmin Connect) is by far not the best either.
