    I had a Fitbit many years ago and enjoyed it but this is an awesome fitness watch! I don’t think I’ve reached its full potential because sometimes the experience on the app is not quite what I’d like it to be. One feature I thought was amazing was for a strength workout it can pretty accurately determine what exercise you’re doing without you imputing it. No that feature isn’t perfect but I wasn’t expecting that feature at all so that’s very cool. I picked this watch over some other garmin models because of the look and temperature sensor but it only tells you if your temp increases or decreases during sleep as far as I know. I thought it would be able to give you a body temperature number at any time not just if it increased .5 degrees while sleeping. I did get it for $100 off full price so for that price it does feel worth it to me! Excellent battery life. I maybe charge it once a week and it charges fast!

    LOVE THIS WATCH!! It truly does the same thing an Apple Watch does minus being able to respond to text. I can still ping my phone, receive text and other notifications. I think it does a better job with workouts and walking tracking. The battery life lasts like 3-4 days before you have to charge it again where with my Apple Watch I was charging it everyday.

    I've used the Apple watch for years and the Google watch and Samsung Smart watches. None of them are as good as this watch. Its beautiful and has great function. The battery lasts me at least 6 days. I wished i had bought this a long time ago

    This timepiece is exceptional. I upgraded from a Samsung watch due to its poor battery life; this model offers superior performance with extended battery life and exceptional comfort. Its accuracy and feature set are also noteworthy. I highly recommend this product.

    Absolutely love!!! Went from Apple to Garmin and although I didn’t have some features from the Apple the battery life was well worth it. To me more accurate and got 2 weeks before having to charge. Loved it so much I got both sizes

    Already has an old apple watch that I could have just upgraded to another apple watch but decided to get Garmin instead. My intended use was for health reasons especially monitoring my heart rate. Was debating between garmin and google. Very gappy with my choice. Very comfortable to wear at all times. The battery is excellent. Aesthetically pleasing. For me overall is a 5!

    I've been using Fitbit for years, but later decided to switch to Samsung to sync with my Samsung phone. Then this year, I've been looking for a replacement because the Samsung watch drains battery quickly, even in power-saving mode. So I tried with Garmin, and since I received it, I have no regrets!
