This watch is awesome, I don’t feel like I’m wearing a watch at all. Very light. Easy to use and read. Easy to customize the quick buttons or view controls. It looks great, it performs greater.

It's okay. The price tag is too high. You can ping yourself for location in grid but has to be outside. Good for hikers. It tells you sun up and down.

Gifted to my boyfriend, who loves this watch! He wears it everyday and hardly takes it off! It’s very durable which is what he needs for his line of work. Slims design, which I like! We use most of the tactical features when hiking/camping. Really comes in handy! He tracks his fitness progress on it. Overall a really great watch and worth the money!

Great watch Garmin makes really durable products. I wear it all the time. I have the first battery version. Decided to upgrade when it was on sell. Basic display on this watch battery will last for a long time. This one being solar I might not need to charge it.

In comparison to other smartwatches, you dont get touchscreen capabilities nor do you get a color diaplay. However, you do get up to 2 months between charges and an enclosure capable of keeping up with an active lifestlye. Well worth those tradeoffs

One of the best watches you can get for everyday use. It got wnough connected fearures that make it a decent smart watch but not to much to make you feel like your always connected. Borderline indestructible with a great battery life.

I have the other brand and I like both for way different reasons. I like the simplicity and buttons. This gives me just enough and it is sturdy. It’s on the expensive side for the features but it is tested and it works well. The only con is the style. It’s surface has a ton of space to hold dust and dirt. It seems picky but I clean it way more than that other brand. If you’re looking for a truly rough and reliable watch then this should be in your top three.
