    I was told Garmin is the way to go when it comes to heart rate watched, however, it is difficult to use. The manual included is very small and doesn't give much explanation on how to use the watch. I wanted to keep my heart rate on display as I workout and I couldn't find away to do it. I emailed the company but no response.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      If you have activity tracking turned on then the heart rate is on all the time. If you're experiencing issues, please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and videos on the functions of the device. From that page you may also reach out directly to a product support specialist.
