Customer Ratings & Reviews

First Garmin watch and I’m enjoying it. Light weight, impressive battery life and built in flashlight. Still learning it and finding several features are very useful. It’s my go to watch over the Apple and other watches I have.

I absolutely love this watch. The battery life is incredible—especially with the solar charging. I can go for long periods without worrying about charging it, which makes it perfect for hiking, traveling, and everyday use. The 45mm size is perfect for my wrist. It feels solid and rugged, but not too big or uncomfortable. I like that I can feel it on my wrist without it being heavy. Overall, the watch is extremely reliable, durable, and packed with useful features. It’s definitely worth every dollar. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tough outdoor watch with amazing battery life.

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.

I love this watch. No issues at all. The battery life is excellent, and the solar feature works perfectly for someone who spends a lot of time outdoors. When GPS and Bluetooth are both running, the battery drain is noticeable, but without those, it lasts a long time. The only downside is that the silicone band could be better for a $400 watch.

Very happy with this watch. I bought this as a daily watch after being tired of super smart watches with the intention of tracking steps while also having enough battery for hiking/backpacking. I'm happy to say that this has done all that and more. This has just enough smart features to keep me informed but not too much where I feel overwhelmed. The MIP display looks great and the controls work great without a touchscreen. The torch/flashlight is an added bonus. A few negatives worth mentioning is that the solar really doesn't seem that effective and the breadcrumb mapping is not the best. The solar not being effective is not a concern since I only spend a few days at a time on trail and I typically track my location via my phone for mapping so both of these issues are mitigated for me. Overall I am very happy with this device!

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.

Great watch. Great functions. Easy to use and get used to..

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.

I like it coz the battery takes days. The watch itself is stylish, you can wear it 24/7.

The watch itself is awesome but finding instructions on Garmin connect app is very difficult and not user friendly

Its great. No apple watch battery issues. Looks great.

Amazing active watch, very stylish and I enjoy the features it has. The battery life is very long and I want to buy another one for a loved one.

Excellent battery life and easy to use. Love the way it fits.

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.

Bought for my anniversary with fiance. He enjoyed the rugged look, long battery life (I think he said weeks with one charge), and its improved sensor (he was upgrading from two gens back). The built in flashlight was a cool surprise.

I researched this watch ahead of time so I knew exactly what I was buying. Killer deal since I got it brand new on sale for $150 off regular price. I love the watch. Garmin watches are high quality and stylish. The shipping and delivery was lighting fast!

Got this as a gift for my husband. He loves the durability of the watch and not having to worry about breaking it as easy as other smart watches. Battery life lasts forever

Love this watch. Solid, looks great and very durable. The flashlight function in the watch has suprisingly come in handy more than orginally thought. Woild recommend!

Absolutely love this watch. All the functions and then some of other smart watches. PLUS it has 20 days of battery when using all functions. Of course you could go into battery saving mode and add more days. Moving from Apple Watch to this was a great move! What other watches have a powerful torch light built in?

Upgraded from an Apple Watch. I wanted to simplify and have a more activity driven watch. ( with a great battery life ). Love it. 100% worth the switch.
