Causes a blistering rash
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a Christmas gift for my son. He cannot wear the watch because the silicone band causes a blistering rash. Garmin’s customer service has been lacking. They tried to blame my son for tightening his watch band roo much, yet his band was loose. Then Garmin promised to send a nylon watch band, yet here we are nearly a month later and my son still can’t wear his watch. Incredibly frustrating experience.

I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Accuracy
Not very accurate
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this watch to tell me how fast I am running. It does that more accurately than I can estimate it, so I am not returning it. But every other function on this watch is a joke. The heart rate ticks at 69-70 when my pulse is near 120. It gives me a chart history of calories burned when I wasn't even wearing the watch. It's definitely generating some numbers, and sending them to my phone, but those numbers don't correlate with anything I'm doing, except time and distance. Even the distance is off by about 2%, It gets confused if I'm on trail close to a road -- it thinks I'm on the road and uses the road distance rather than the trail distance. At least it shows the correct time and date.
