Fantastic product!

Super easy to track activities and manage things like music or even checking tidal charts. A worthwhile purchase all around.

Great watch for those needing constant heart rate
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a heart condition and purchased this smart watch so I could have a constant monitoring of my heart rate. It notifies me when my heart rate gets too low or too high. I enjoy the other app options it has as well of it being waterproof so I can wear it in the shower. A great smart watch.

I liked my old garmin better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a tactical, with the prior version and it was the best, had almost a 14-30hrs of battery. This version is a step back, battery life that lasts about 7days. I took it on a hike and after about 6hours it would just restart, over and over again. I’ve had the watch for about 40 days and going to return and get the previous model, for sure

Great watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my son. He does cross country and uses this to track his runs and fitness goals. He already had an Apple Watch SE that he retired upon receiving this. He loves this watch. He only has to charge it about once a month, and it does everything that he wants a smart watch do.

Great watch
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Man this watch is really good!! I have and goggle and Samsung watches but this is the best. A little bit of old school mixed with a bit of technology is just amazing. The 21-day lifespan is crazy. You can solar power and plug in is amazing. It gives you what you need without all the extra distractions that come with watch.

An excellent smartwatch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am really enjoying this watch. Moved from a Garmin Vivoactive 5. Obviously, the larger display makes reading so much easier. I have noticed that it keeps much better track of my heart rate than the Vivo 5. Not a fan of silicone bands so I have purchased a canvas band instead that matches the blue coloring. I still have a week's worth of battery life left on the initial charge so that really pleases me. It seems durable but I am pretty easy on my devices. Very comfortable to wear once I replaced the band with a shorter length and more absorbent material.

solar Smart Watch is Smart!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the look in the watch. The battery last longer due to the solar charge. I am able to track my sleep, steps and other health in the app. I did get an irregular heartbeat alert while exercising which is good to know so I can follow up with my doctor.

Love this watch!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a birthday present to myself. I upgraded from an original Garmin Instinct, which I enjoyed for a couple of years. This Garmin is loaded with features that I will never use, but using it for training and running 5K and 10Ks, it is an improvement. Initial setup is done with a QR code and setting up basic functions like quiet time are a snap. I have already done many training runs and a few races and have found it to be accurate. Linking to GPS is instantaneous. The best feature (so far) is the audio giving me run time at each mile. I think this has made me run a little faster. Another feature is the watch giving suggestions prior to starting an activity. It's easy to back out of that screen, but good to know before starting a race. Although the screen is the same size as my original Instinct, I have found it a little easier to read this one, even when not wearing glasses. I am nearsighted and have a cataract forming in one eye (Medicare just kicked in, so that will be addressed soon.) This is a good looking watch as well as functional.
