    My wife became a mail carrier almost a year ago and she didn't really want a smart watch but seemed open to something robust. So I gifted her this watch just to see her reaction, and was going to return it she didn't seem interested. She loves it this watch is a beast and has a bunch of features that she's really happy with, which makes me happy. So yay thanks Garmin!

    Great product if your someone who loves being fit and wants to keep track of your progress. If your not so active this is over kill but still really cool to have as it does so much and does not require any subscriptions like the fit bit. This is definitely top of the class when it comes to fitness watches and it’s masculine finally

    Love this watch! I am a clumsy guy sometimes and the manner in which this watch is constructed, with a recessed face, keeps me from easily scratching it. It has everything I need plus more and a 28 day battery life ... unbelievable! Th e price was right on Black Friday sales!

    This watch paired perfectly with my Iphone 14. It does for me the basic stuff like get text messages, tell time/date, view and answer phone calls. Great and accurate compass. It also has much much more features that i rarely use but others might use them. I replaced my apple watch with this and i do not regret it! Great watch!!!!

    If you’re buying this to track sleep, don’t. It’ll tell me that I’m asleep for hours when I am awake. Battery life beats the Apple Watch by far. Setting workouts is quick and easy in comparison to the Apple Watch too. Good buy if you’re looking for something rugged that you don’t have to charge often.

    I think this watch is awesome! There are so many features and so many things you can learn about yourself while wearing it. I used an apple watch for a while and I was trying to find something that could help me train and get back into shape. I highly recommend!

    This is a replacement purchase. We bought this same smartwatch 11 months ago and loved it. We woke up one morning to the watch failing to reset. We took it in and have to have it replaced. Other than that is has been a great watch. It's comfortable to wear. It doesn't cause irritation on the skin from prolonged use and you can select what all notifications you want on it. The warranty was also great and the customer support at BestBuy was great on it as well.
