Harmon hacked by ransomware
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this watch for my daughter and drove over 25 miles to pick it up. Wanted to log some stats for medical appointment. The next day Garmin app shut down as it was attacked by ransomware. Not all up and inning yet and it I had been almost a month. It only partially collects data.

Garbage, worst garmin ever
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible battery life. I ran the GPS for about 4 hours and it totally killed the battery. Even without using GPS I’m charging the battery every 3 days. It’s also ridiculously complicated to program and use.

Great watch, but no touch screen.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing watch. Worked perfect. Not a steep learning curve for the user interface, but contrary to the specs, this does not have a touch screen. So if you're looking for a touch screen, this one does not have one.
