Really like this watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great watch. Durable.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tracks weather run times by lap. Temperature during your run so you can see your pace as the temp rises or falls. Defiantly recommend this watch. Better than the other smart watches. Plus super durable.

One of the best smartwatches
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best watch garmin for sure! The battery lasts more than 24 days! Its P&B and thats perfect for me to not distract with tons of notifications. Its casual but could be used socially. O loved.

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Hopefully, 3rd time is the charm.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The watch does a great job tracking my swimming and my walking. Unfortunately, though, I am now waiting for my 3rd watch. The first watch after about 8 or 9 months would just stop working. Since I have a Best Buy membership, they gave me a new watch. The second watch worked well up until now when like the first one, it would stop working. I thought maybe it needed to be charged, so I charged it, and it showed it was charged for 25 days. I thought that was the problem only it wasn't. In one day, it went from 25 days to showing 15, and then it shut itself off. I'm now waiting for my third watch. UPS has a driver who doesn't like to deliver. It is the 2nd time that this UPS driver stated couldn't deliver my package because I wasn't home. When I was and I checked my security cameras, no UPS truck ever drove on to my street. I know this for fact since the way my street is everyone that drives on it must drive past my house when pulling onto it and leaving. Hopefully the 3rd watch last long enough for me to save up enoup to pay the difference between this watch and the newer version of it. I just don't have $165 to spend since I'm still trying to recover from hurricane Helene

Good bye fitbit! I don't miss ya!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great watch, but confusing for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Long battery life with more features
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!

Great watch
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Garmin review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Luv it, Buy it, Wear It.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great watch and more
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

The truth
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very solid good watch for someone who doesn’t need a watch to respond to messages. You’re not able to respond to messages; However you do get notifications which is nice. The watch is tough, has all the health stats you could want, is lightweight, and an all around good watch! The watch only get 4 because I feel like they could’ve done something to wow me.
