    Great watch, I’ve been wearing it for about 3 months and not a scratch on it. That says a lot given I am a HVACR technician, I always have my hands in equipment. Functionality is great just wish it was a little more phone app compatible as far as music playback. Workout routines are great with lots of options for different types of activities

    I have always been a loyal Apple Watch person but after trying the Garmin…no more. I really wanted more of the fitness features and the battery life because it is solar is amazing! Garmin has been a game changer for me!!

    An awesome watch that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Works perfectly for what I want, maybe not as high end as a Galaxy or Apple Watch, but if you want a stable watch with long battery life and fitness features, this is it.

    I have never owned a smart watch, I feel this is a great place to start. The price was reasonable, stays charged for days and provides exactly what I was looking for to support training in various activities.

    I got my husband this watch over a month ago and he has not stopped talking about it since. He used to be in the army and I figured he would enjoy this watch far more than his Apple watch. He hasn't had any problems with it and this is by far the best and favorite gift he's gotten.

    With the newest sensor for health tracking you aren't missing out by choosing this budget option. You get all the hr, 02, sleep tracking as the most expensive watches but with a more efficient power consumption and much longer battery life.

    I purchased this to replace my Apple watch that is constantly tied to a charger... What a difference.. similar features but almost 30 days of constant wear without plugging into a charger. I was also able to turn on the golf yardage app on all the courses I have played.

    Although I haven’t figured out how to use all the functions, it’s been great so far. I got stranded at my hunting cabin for 2 weeks without the charger and the battery still had 5 days, which was nice.

    Love the features and ease of use. I used to have a galaxy watch but that crapped out on me my second year of use. I appreciate the clean design this one offers and I can take it with anywhere and I don't have to worry about it surviving.

    Never really saw myself as a smartwatch person but after much debate on wanting to get this, I finally did and I never go anywhere without it now. Great watch and the battery is unreal.

    It's great has more functions than I'll ever use, but I bought it for the battery life and not disappointed! 30 days and only an hour or two to charge! Screen is also alot more durable than I imagined!
