    I purchased for my boyfriend and he wanted to tell me that the watch counts driving as steps. We reset the watch and it didnt fix the issue. He told me past the return date so he is stuck with a watch that malfunctions.

    I bought this watch for my husband in order to help him maintain a healthier lifestyle. He ended up returning the watch due to not being able to receive text/calls on the watch. He tried multiple times after researching the Garmin website, YouTube, and Google. I chose this watch specifically based on its ability to receive text/calls.

    Had a great many features but you need to be very conversant with buttons etc to find any particular function. This required swiping the face to move aro7nd as well. However, if you have arthritic hands, it does not work well. I returned the Garmin and got an Apple Watch

    If you looking for a watch to only track working out then this is 5 star. All the other functionality is terrible. Phone won’t answer, can’t easily give voice commands. A lot of clicking around to get to a function you want.
