    Working well but not 5 star until I see how long it will take a charge. Garmin instinct before this would no longer charge after less than 1 year.

    This is the best smart watch out there. I don't need a ton of apps I need it to work in the woods and outdoors. And it does! Solar charging while in the hills with no power is the best! Looks good as well!

    I am loving my Garmin! The sun isn't as intense as it could be so buying this item in Michigan may not have been entirely worth it, I do have to charge it every 4 days. And a little less if I am outdoors a lot, but it charges fast (plug in) and it's been a year and it did get a 2cm scratch, the band has been durable and the tracking went crazy in downtown Detroit pinged every tower it seemed. But overall a great watch to have!
