    Love this watch. The only complaint is that the heart rate is sometime not as accurate because I prefer it to not fit tight. When the band is tightened, the HR monitor seems to be on target.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Great watch for someone who works with their hands

    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.

    I have tried WearOs and Amazfit watches. This is by far the best fitness/smartwatch which is a great at what it does. It has Garmin coach built-in and I will be starting the 10k coaching on this today.
