    Great watch and good price. I like how simple the Garmin app on the phone is to see all of your data and activity / sleep. Sometimes takes a little to update on the calendar section.

    Many disappointments, but I like the way it looks

    Solar doesnt really work. Left outside for 3 hours and got maybe a (+1%) added to the battery. The battery is that great either. Its starts off draining slow. 99%, 98% then jumps down bigger negative increments of charge. ( note: face displays days, hold "menu" to view charge in percentage. Sleep monitor doesnt work well. I havent been sleep well lately. Been waking up a bunch. Wanted this to record and visual report what was going on the following day. There were times I woke up several times or laid there staring at space and it recorded it as light sleep. Yea that was especially disappointing. I picked this watch because I wanted some low profile smartwatch. I really like how it looks. Didnt want a christmas tree on my wrist It doesnt download apps or new watch faces. That didnt bother me. I can control media, see calls msg and record workouts. Btw how it knows that im doing a pull-up is wild!! Bravo. Its a great magic trick and thank you. But the pitiful solar charging, overstated longevity, and unreliable biometrics made me feel like I got hustled. Summary: darn you garmin for making think about this watch more than I should have.

    I bought this as a Christmas present for a Marine friend. He absolutely loved it, and couldn’t quit trying out all the different features! It has so many! He kept telling me his blood pressure, and more. They can’t take other smartwatches into the field, but they can take a Garmin

    Amazing watch!! For someone who doesnt need to talk into a watch, but spends a lot of time outdoors, this is the perfect piece! Definitely a necessity for the outdoorsman.

    Well I am the one she bought it for!! I love it It tells me sunrise and sun set. It tells me who’s calling, who’s texting, what the weather is, blood oxygen saturations and pulse. It tells me where I am and where I am going. When my phone is hooked to my truck it alerts me to what ever alerts come through the truck such as Low fuel or navigation changes or alerts. It does everything I could want it to. I am very satisfied with the Garmin watch and other Garmin products I have.

    I had a Samsung active 2 before this, and the technology on the Samsung is way better than this Garmin. The screen is so hard to read, it's not touch screen, and it's confusing. I just got it today, and I literally have a headache from trying to use it. Because the display is awful. You can't adjust any watch display settings from the app. Way too expensive for the limited technology. The watch is comfortable and seems durable, but you have to hit the backlight button to see it. There's no way to get your steps on the main screen. Returning this in a couple days.
