Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love this product. It will sync with my Spotify account so I do not need to bring a phone with me anymore on runs. It marks each mile and the time I run it in and the GPS takes a glimpse into my route! I love it. A great product for hard runners.

Love this watch, very light and easy, once you program it is very simple and user friendly. I was able to sync my airpods without a problem. Highly recommend it.

The only down size is the it is hard to connect to apple store for the music

Very happy with the purchase! It's my first Garmin watch, been looking through so many watches for my first marathon training. It's got exactly what I need as a beginner. 100% recommend.

This is my first sports watch and I almost returned it due to the frustrating interface and poor documentation. But I persisted and soon got comfortable with it. And now, I LOVE it! I am a career IT techie programming in 8 languages, and use iPad and iPhones- this should have been easier!

I've been on a journey for the right fitness/smartwatch for quite sometime. I wanted a watch that i could run with, track my strength training, give me notifications, be comfortable, and listen to music. My first stop was wearOS. It supposedly did many things but in practice it didn't actually work. I spent hours trying to get music on my watch and once i did it crashed during workouts. The battery was also abysmal. Apple watch was not an option, no iphone. Samsung was nice but battery issues and really bulky. On to Garmin. I had a vivoactive music before. I liked it. It just gave me a more feminine feeling. I then decided I'll look into a fenix 5 plus. Crazy expensive and heavy. I was willing to deal with that until i came across this watch. It was feature rich, light, great look, had music, great battery life, and it works well! Compared to the fenix (of what options I'll actually be using) i only missed out on Garmin Pay. That didn't really matter because my bank didn't use it anyway. In practice: So far I've done a run, went swimming, and I've just been generally more active for the past week with this watch. Im completely happy with it. The music feature paired to spotify, paired to my beats 3s, and not one time did it lose connection. The amount of data you get from a run thru garmin connect is awesome. It tracked how far i swam in the pool, and it kept up with my steps with useful data at the end of the day. Body Battery is a new interesting feature not included with the way more expensive fenix. It is pretty accurate. I felt really drained one day and my body battery said i was at 13%. Sounds about right to me. The next day i woke up feeling tired and it said i was at 60% even in the morning. It knew i didn't fully recover. Today im feeling fully refreshed and the battery says im at 99%. I feel like i can actually use this feature. Sleep tracking: I find myself keeping up with this feature more than i thought i would. The form factor of the watch is comfortable enough to sleep in. Its not as comfortable as the vivoactive music, but close enough. If the VA3 has 94 comfort level I'd say this one is about 85. Fenix would probably be 50 for me. Back to sleep tracking. It's been pretty accurate with how long i sleep and i like seeing all the analytics. Highly recommended watch.

I have been researching sport watches for 18 months. This watch fits all the requirements, unless you need open water swim metrics, and is at a very for price point for the features.

Hope product lives up to its reviews. Father’s Day gift

Spotify links well with it. Battery life could be better but not too bad. Drains a little bit fast only when using music + gps, otherwise GPS alone is fine. Recommend !

Exactly what i expected. Lots of features. Great deal. I would get a different band. It irritates my skin.

Fantastic watch! Love everything about it! I use it all the time

This watch is great for physical training. Has all the data I need. Love the watchband and color! Programming is challenging.

Nice sports watch, handles many sports for data and distance, etc

Beautiful and amazing functions all in easy to understand technology!

Have not opened it yet I purchased it for my daughter birthday I'll come back with updates

It’s ok nothing special and overpriced. I’ve had many fitness watches this is my least favorite for the price it’s underwhelming.

Best running/workout watch that I've had! I practice meditation and use Breathwork daily.

Battery life was low, very slow to link with satellite for the running component. But overall pretty good.

I can't figure out how to get my songs to play in a particular order. Also, it won't verbally tell me my mile times when the music is on pause, or off. Also, if I leave the music on pause for a while, when I later try to play a song, the music program has turned off and I have to access it again thru the menu as I run. But I still like it because it makes me run faster during races.

After complaining about having to carry my iPhone on my runs, I was "sold" on this watch. What a mistake. Garmin Express cannot access audiobooks in iTunes even though it claims to be able to. You cannot access your music during a run without ending the run, saving the run and then restarting a new run. This means you cannot switch to a new podcast, change to a new playlist or even adjust the volume.
