    Fantastic little watch. It's the most feature rich Garmin for it's size. Great battery life. There's a little bit of a learning curve, but it's worth the time of takes.

    The watch really is beautiful but was too big of a jump from Apple Watch for me. I didn't really like the interface and it was stressing me out so I returned.

    [Employee of bestbuy] My old watch quit working and my daughter recommended this one for me as she also has a Garmin Venu. I have really enjoyed all the features. I wear it when I do aqua aerobics.

    So far so good, quality-wise it is 100x better than fitbit. I am not the biggest fan of the OS, though, I think it could be organized better... and I can't find the "find my phone" option which could be really useful. Also, it thinks you nap every time you just sit for a longer period of time. Thats a pain. Overall though, it is a good watch. I am hoping future updates will resolve some of the issues and improve the functionality of the OS. It is a big price ticket, but I think it is worth it for the high quality build. This watch is really solid. I bumped it onna wall on multiple occasions and not a single scratch is visible. Fitbit is a joke compared to this thing :) also, battery life is really the best.

    If I had to buy it again, I'd prolly buy the version with sapphire glass. Screen scratched way too easy for how much my wife loves to wear this thing.

    Love this watch! I switched from an apple watch and I'll never go back. The battery life is amazing, I get a solid 10 days out of it and it charges quickly!

    It can really do it all. You can respond to texts/calls, you can track running, sleeping, and more. I love the size as it fits well on my small wrists. I would honestly give it 4.5 stars but Best Buy will not let me. The only small thing is that I feel the UI of the watch can be a tad overwhelming when it does come to fitness tracking and information.
