Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for tracking workouts and has excellent battery life! Also great for tracking walks or daily activity of calories burned

Good battery life and very precise. Display a little bit too dim. Very light.

I really like this watch. I am a traditionalist and like the round face. I also like the fack of the buttons., After all it's not like I need a touch screen for something this small and it keeps the smudges off. Battery life is as advertised and all functions seem to be pretty close to accurate. Gps is a great feature built in and works great. For the price best on market. I like this way better than my wife's fitbit versa.

I had to have my Fitbit replaced twice under warranty, decided I needed to check out other options for fitness trackers --- for the price, you can't beat the functionality. The GPS works really well whether I'm just walking the dog around the neighborhood, or riding the bike 40 miles. Garmin's app is really nice, and the website functionality is awesome.

Garmin's lowest end GPS smartwatch. Key reason for purchase is because this is constructed almost entirely out of plastic/resin - which is wonderful for someone with metal skin allergies. Looked at the latest Fitbits and other Garmin's and this was the best option. Ended up returning and purchasing Forerunner 45S (smaller watch face) instead.

TLDR: affordable, tons of features, comfortable, durable, easy to use, JUST WORKS I bought originally to track my heart rate on my runs and stationary bike rides. On my runs, I simply start a "run" activity, and all sorts of amazing stats are gathered: heart rate, elevation gain, SPM (strides per minute), heart rate zones.... way more than I asked for, but all super interesting. On my bike trainer rides, I set my watch to broadcast my heartrate to my bike computer (Garmin Edge 25). In addition to the fitness stuff, it's been fascinating to track my sleep patterns, too. The watch is comfortable, but probably took a couple hours to get accustomed to (just not used to having any watch at all). I sleep with it on without issue. The watch is easy to clean (just run under water). This was alarming at first as it has an exposed charging port, but it's been fine. If I have one gripe, it's that the battery could last longer (goes about 3 days between charges with my normal use). But when bought on sale (or even at it's normal price), it's more than what I would expect in this price range. I can't imagine what else I could ever need in a fitness/smart watch.

I have had this for over a year and am very satisfied with it. It needs charging every 5-7 days. It looks better than the previous model, provides me more options to use as a fitness tracker. It connects easily to my Iphone and I charge it off the MAC.

I wear this watch just about 24/7— it's fantastic with Strava and Garmin Connect, and the battery life is FAR beyond most Apple and other smartwatches. I can recharge it while I take a shower and that's more than enough to keep it going. MUCH more accurate heartrate and GPS than my previous Forerunner 35, and I like the color display and customization features.

I am very pleased with this watch. I have been using it a lot. Previously I had a fitbit versa which is a good watch too. This is somewhat different. My son likes the fitbit better. Navigating is different because you have to use the buttons and not touch screen for making selections. When you select an activity, like RUN, you will need to click the upper right button to start the exercise, it will say "Waiting for GPS". Sometimes, it takes a few seconds to be ready. But it is very accurate when tracking your exercise. Battery life lasts a few days before needing a charge.

Does everything I need it to do and looks good too. It's really a runner's watch so STEP monitoring is looking for arm motion. If you are just mowing the lawn, you really don't get full credit for all your steps.

I really like this running watch. It's simple to use, has an accurate GPS and the Garmin Connect app is solid. One note is that if you're actively tracking with GPS during an activity, the longest the battery will last is about 6 hours. If it's just in passive mode, it'll last 4-5 days between charges. Also, the band wore a sore spot into my forearm, but I think that's to be expected with a lot of these devices.

Great watch! Bought for my teenage son and he loves it! He runs track and cross country and t works great tracking.

Bought this for my wife who ended up wanting the smaller 45S after about a month. I was going to buy a smart watch but ended up keeping this one for myself. I've been very pleased. After a few days I could easily get to what I wanted to see on the watch. Everything seems to be fairly accurate. I've run the same route weekly and the GPS is consistent. I like the Garmin IQ app that connects to it. It has lots of good information. The watch doesn't have a swimming activity but you can record as cardio and change on the app. I wish that it was a little brighter when lit up. My eyes aren't what they used to be. It is a really good watch for the price point.

I mainly wanted GPS tracking for running and biking, and the ability to receive text messages from my iPhone through bluetooth. This is perfect for that at a reasonable price. it looks stylish enought to always wear it, the face is the right size and there are lots of features selectable with the buttons. The battery life is good. I wish the face had better scratch resistance.

A good basic watch for first time runners looking to track their time and mileage. Easy to charge as well.

Doe everything I need from Walking and running tracking and steps. Also tracks Heart, Body Battery, Stress lever Calories and sleep tracking. All around great And easy to use

Garmin does the best job of providing the metrics that runners need. GPS is very consistent and accurate.

Smaller watch but great quality. For the price it is definitely a great smartwatch. Battery life is amazing but watch is limited compared to others.

Garmin is perfect for running. It has helped me improve my time by several minutes. Couldn't love this watch more.

Very easy to use. Light weight. Excellent price. This is my third Garmin and I have loved all of them.
