    My wife convinced me to get this watch aling with one for her. She wanted to switch out our smart watches for something more rugged for outdoor life and work. This one holds up well to the rigors of farm life with all the bangs and bumps associated. Lits of great functuons, many of which i still havent found. I only wish it were easier to navigate as i just havent had the time to figure it all out and use the watch to its dull potentual.

    Really like this watch. Still learning what it can do, several weeks after purchase. The basics of operation were fairly easy. One of the most useful features for me has been the ability to look at my sleep patterns. I bought this watch so I could track where I am - altitude, location, etc. It works.

    The metrics given are insightful and robust. The battery is outstanding and given the many functions the watch performs, it's amazing how long it lasts between charges. I highly recommend anyone making the jump in price if the Fenix or similar watches are too expensive. This is a great in between in price. I am upgrading from a Fitbit Ionic without ANY regrets.

    This watch will do more then I will ever use. But the best part is the battery. I exercise 2-3 hours 5 days a week. I can go for 12 days before charging.

    Is working very well. Many features to still learn, but once you get used to using 5 buttons to navigate it works great. Solar charging means you may rarely need to charge it. Much nicer than my fitbit charge2 which was junk and had terrible software. Garmin software seems much better and more logical.

    I bought this for myself for an early Christmas present. Usually costs around $400, but I got it on sale for $300. Bought online and i received it in about 3 days. I wouldn’t have been mad if I had paid $400. Battery life is incredible, even when using all of the features. I would buy again but it is built well enough I probably won’t have to.

    Although I did not keep this, this is a fantastic watch for the outdoor enthusiast. The battery life is amazing, the screen is easy to read, and it is loaded with features. The one reason I returned it was because I had not done all my research and prefer a touch screen watch. This would be my go to for exclusively outdoors, but I was looking for something more for work and in the office.

    No naming but this is the best watch for customers who do not like to charge smart watches now and then while getting more functions. 24 days at a single charge is remarkable!!

    Very happy with this watch. There is a bit of a learning curve but overall very happy. Battery life is excellent (unless your in GPS mode). The heart rate tracker is very accurate when compared to medical device trackers.

    Very long battery life. Fitbit only has about a 6 day life. It works very well still trying to figure out some of the features. The only thing I don't like is it increases the step goal everyday. I do wish it had a feature like the fitbit that causes me to have to walk every hour other than that it is great.

    First smart watch I've owned and I'm very happy with it. I had to return the first one because it would not solar charge. The second one works perfect. The best thing I like about it is I forget I even have it on. My G Shock was very heavy and couldn't wait to take it off. Love the watch and all the things it can do.

    Bought this to replace an older garmin device that was still working good just that battery life wasn't what it used to be. It takes a bit of learning to be able to navigate comfortably but after a couple months use it's fairly easy now. Be sure to get a protective face as it does scratch easily. The solar charging does require you to be in the sun alot. I just throw it on the usb charger every couple weeks . I bought a couple extra bands while they are readily available. My last one broke after about 3 years and then i had a real hard time finding a replacement.

    Great Fitness Tracking Watch

    I wanted a watch to essentially track my stats and this watch does just that. It has a lot of fun features as far as fitness tracking. I love that’s it’s waterproof so I can wear it all the time. It’s very comfortable and easy to clean. I’ve had this watch for 4 months now an I think I finally have the short cuts and extra features on the watch. That is probably the only negative thing I have to say but it does come with a manual and there are videos on the internet if you want to save time. Overall: I don’t regret this purchase and it’s everything plus more than I wanted.

    Surprised by the battery life claims and functions for a relatively low price, intending to give as a gift, so I’m excited to see how it works.
