Researched so many smartwatches when looking for a great gift for my wife. Landed on this one and she absolutely loves it. The value for what you're getting is amazing. Works great, does what it says it does, and looks good. This was perfect for her. A sometimes runner, always active, techy. That doesn't mean it is for you though. Do your homework. What will you be using it for? Are you active or not? Do you want something that looks like the trendy Apple watches.

I have been using entry level garmin products for running for many years and have always been pleased with their performance. I recently started incorporating strength training and other types of cardio into my routine and decided to try a new garmin to track these workout. So far it is a hit. It interfaces with the garmin connect app and is a very useful tool.

Good watch, I mainly use it to track my heart rate while I'm running to stay in the target range and it seems accurate.

I finally upgraded and I am happy with my choice. What I like most is that it is button menu versus touch.

Great smart watch with just enough features. health monitoring seems to be pretty reliable an when used with Garmin connect, you have a wealth of info from a device many of us would already be wearing. Larger size is a good size for men, or women who prefer a larger faced watch. weight is comparative to any quality watch. strap is flexible without be restricting or binding.

Love this Garmin. Very accurate. Easy to use, but it does take a bit to get used to using the buttons in the right order.

I bought this for the long battery life and it has not disappointed. At least 7 days between charges. Still let’s me see notifications, messages, incoming calls, and the app tracks everything I need it to. Very glad I switched to the Garmin.

Bought as an “emergency” upgrade from Forerunner 35 the day of a race event. The set up was incredibly easy as I already had a Garmin Connect account. Getting used to the functions has been confusing sometimes- the quick user guide isn’t as helpful as one would hope. But love the watch overall. Also, the 35 caused a weird allergic reaction from the band on my wrist which has now completely healed even though I still wear this device on same wrist.

Tracks gps fantastically. Along with also tracking heart rate. If you have a tattoo it might mess with the sensors though.
