    I prefer a sport watch that gets closer to a smartwatch than to have a smartwatch that pretends to be sport watch.

    I bought this smartwatch to replace a Fitbit Versa 2. I was concerned that the size of the watch would be too large for my wrist but found that its watch face was similar in size to the versa. After using a Fitbit for many years, I am not finding the switch to the Garmin easy. There are features that I used often on Fitbit that I have not found on the Garmin.

    Lacking customer support and battery life.

    I bought the product off of Garmin's own website. Photos to show the actual product. I want to share my experience with the watch and customer support. After having the watch for around 45 days, the battery only last for 4-6 hours. All the third party apps were uninstalled and the extra monitoring the watch can do were turned off with no improvement. Customer support has been impressively distant with no support so far. An engineering team has been contacted to monitor my watch. I have not heard back from them after a month of letting them have access to my watch. Customer support has been reached out to multiple times and they never follow up with anything. Hard to recommend Garmin if their team is unable to help resolve any issues.

    I switched from my old Apple Watch to the garmin. I wore my Apple Watch for 6 years with zero issues. I have had my garmin for about a month and the locking clasp on the band already broke. So disappointed. I know it’s just a band, but the durability sucks! Now I have to go buy another band before I can wear it. The look is great, but how it will hold up is yet to be seen.

    It has been hard finding the perfect mix of a watch. The smart watches we've tried were not accurate enough on the health items, and the sports watches we have tried, really lacked in the smart watch space. This has been a great mix of both

    It's a solid watch, the controls are not as intuitive as I would like them to be, step tracking is accurate, lots of faces to choose from. The call clarity and text display on the screen are very clear. I would buy it again

    Let me start by saying that this watch was great, when it worked! Unfortunately, there were times when it would freeze up, not charge correctly, or lose battery quickly. I used it everyday through vigorous sports and workouts, but unfortunately the screen died on me a few months before its two year anniversary. Loved it, but might need something a little more rugged.
