    I bought this for my boyfriend who likes to be outdoors and go to the gym. It’s his first smartwatch and he’s obsessed. Make sure to read the description to know what features it does/doesn’t have.

    I am still working on discovering all that it has but so far it has been very practical and enough for the things I do. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I feel satisfied.

    This watch is awesome, the solar panel makes it even cooler because when I’m training it’s still charging

    Great watch but not worth paying extra for the solar. It has the same features as the regular one. Doesn't charge solar as fast.

    Is a bloat watch but I think should be upgraded for the battery. The last one longer it won't be so bulky either

    This is a great smart style watch for people who would break a tradiitional smartwatch but atill want to be ablw to get alerts. I am just disapponted that Best Buy raised the price on the day that I went in to purchase it by $100.

    Great outdoor "smart" watch

    This is my first "Smart" watch so I can't say much. I enjoy the product functions like regular watch with smart watch functions but does not have any fancy 3rd party apps. So, if that is what you want stay away from this one.

    Start off with only issue is ease of use. Garmin has never really been good at providing a detailed user manual. Takes a while to learn all the functions. Once you understand how to use it its pretty easy.
