    Excellent price with a sleek stylish look. Garmin also offers good support. My only problem is the directions to operate are poor.

    I bought this watch for my husband mainly so he could keep a check on his blood pressure. He loves this watch it connects to his phone he gets his txt alerts and call alerts without having to pull out his phone. This watch does so much more.

    Works well and I can shower or bath with it on. The heartrate and blood pressure monitor are great. it even has a find my phone feature which I use all the time. Overall it take a bit to get use to navigating the menus but it excellent quality and perfect for my needs, even when I stream I can show my stats, which is pretty neat. I would pick this over any android or apple series watch hands down. Though you have to preset text responses you can text back and gps is awesome as well as the garmin connect software.

    Excellent battery life. Main use for a step/sleep/stress tracking. Esports function is average, software for using while playing a game is quite limited.

    battery charge issue in just 10 months :(

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The reason for 3 stars is because after only 10 months of gentle use the battery started draining every day after a full charge. So its best quality is now its main weakness. The watch seems to otherwise have some appealing features, and durable design. Upon contacting Garmin about batter draining issue I was offered a replacement with a refurb watch and only 3 months of additional warranty on the replacement. This is disappointing. Searhing online I see this batter draining is a very common issue reported by many others, so future buyers beware!

    Setup is easy, and syncs well with my Android phone. Once Location and Bluetooth settings are onadjustments for what you wish to see on the watch is easy. Once done I turn them off for security sake. I also have my low BLE Settings off, same as my wifi search. This saves battery power on both devices. When the need arises to update or sync my watch, I turn my appropiate phone settings on and seconds later it's done for record. Website has great info on getting your fitness standard to where you wish.

    Even the price is relatively good, it lacks of a real multisport dimension. Other sport watches (modest versions of suunto, ticwatch, samsung, etc.) include a wide range of sports such as boxing, taichi, fitness, hiit, strenght, etc.; and theres no need to being pressing botons for rest and restart (strength, for example)

    I am big on watches and have worn analog watches for years. This wasn't necessarily my first step into a hybrid watch but is my first gps smartwatch. I won't go a day without this watch now. I absolutely love everything about it. The tracking is amazing, the app is keen and seeing my heartrate at all times goes a long way. I love this watch
