    The watch is basic. It’s hard to sync sometimes. Over all it’s good for someone looking to monitor heart rate

    Really like the accuracy of the Garmin GPS. I was excited to see the mapping of my runs on the app along with the splits. Also like the display at each mile along with the time for that mile. The watch and the app/website are very user friendly. I liked it so much I bought one for my daughter because she kept borrowing mine

    Works well, but I'm not crazy about the button layout – it's not easy to press a button without pressing another button on the other side by accident. Since it's not a touch screen, the buttons are essential. I have a small wrist, so this smartwatch is a little big for me. I'm not used to wearing a watch anymore, so I constantly am fidgeting with it to get it comfortable.

    I tried this one out but decided not to keep it. I am an Apple guy who did not have an Apple Watch and was trying Garmin to get it to interface with my Garmin gear for cycling. It did not do everything I was hoping it would at least not without some quirks and hoop jumping. Maybe in time and with sw updates it may be an all around good device.
