    Fantastic workout watch. Enough "smart" features for me to personally enjoy it. And the battery! Solar charging actually works and that isn't a gimmick. Super responsive and easy interface. And if you can find it on sale, even better.

    I really like this watch although, I have not used many of the features as of yet. The battery life of this is absolutely phenomenal!!! Maybe one charge per month, does it for me.

    This is my first smart watch. I hadn’t really thought I needed one for the longest time. This was on sale and I wanted a ruggedized watch, so I purchased it. Works good, not great. The battery charge does not last nearly as long as they advertise, if you use ANY of the features which makes it “smart”. HR monitor is accurate most of the time, it won’t accurately monitor HR while working out if you do not activate some sort of sport mode. The O2 sensor is as accurate as the monitors at the DR’s office. The fuctionality of it is very basic; think of it as an upgraded version of the Casio watches from the 90s. All in all, im happy with it, especially for the price. It does make me feel in hindsight I shpuld have got a Fenix instead, though.

    Great Product, My Boyfriend loves it a lot. He's able to see who's calling and texting without always grabbing his phone. It stays charged for a long time.

    Researched for about 3 weeks. This smart watch monitors heart, step counter, stress, sleep, vox, & sleep. Best choice in buying this garmin smart watch. Highly recommend. I use it to monitor my elliptical daily workout. Already planning to buy another Garmin Instinct give as X-Mas present.

    Neat watch if you can get it on sale. I was under the impression that the GPS was constant, or that it would track. It does not seem to, it also does not work in any tree cover, it does not work if you are with 20' of a tree so if you are lost in the woods, you will still be lost in the woods. Probably not a big deal if you were stranded on the ocean or the in the desert. Solar recharge is neat but a gimmick. The band it comes with is very uncomfortable and sticky. The oximeter and pulse barely work. The watch interface is clunky. One button reads set and also reads back. I don't think it sets anything, I keep pressing it instead of the the actual set button which is the GPS button, interestingly this button only says GPS and nothing else.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Love love love this watch! I've has other smartwatches but this one is my favorite. Not only does it have a very basic crumb trail GPS system. It has all I need in a watch. View text and calls. But most importantly it's solar powered!

    It works great. My husband wears it daily& loves it. It keeps track of his steps , heart rate & his phone is connected to it also. We bought screen protectors they are good to have with it especially in his line of work.

    Excellent tool watch with long battery charge life. I used to have a Samsung Gear watch, but found it's usefulness lacking. This does it's job and does it very well.

    Works great. Easy to read and solar charging is a plus. Not to large for the wrist and the water resistance feature allows you to wear it 24 hours a day. If you have to charge it the charge is fast compared to previous watches I have worn. The only negative is need a few more instructions available to take full advantage of its features. Still trying to figure some out.
