    It's ok. Too small to read and not great for running and not great for everyday smart watch. Go for Apple watch or Garmin 245 instead.

    Perfect watch for some, but not me

    Pros: the size of the watch is great. It's light and comfortable. For some, they would like that it looks like an Apple watch (I don't particularly care about that) Cons: the watch face is triggered by movement and is either impossible to get to turn on despite shaking my wrist and bringing it up and down (i.e. it's useless as a watch with which to tell time!) or you can change the settings and it's slightly better but then it is on more often so it drains the battery in a day. That's not great when I'm on a several hour hike and still want to see the time or use my watch for the rest of the day. The buttons on the side are continually triggered by my dog's leash on my wrist so my dog is either turning on the GPS or setting my laps. It's extremely frustrating.

    Can't say I love this watch, when running it sometimes won't wake up and show the screen unless you shake your arm. Also, the text is really small. I love the Garmin platform but just not this device.

      This device will only allow you to accept or decline the call. If you accept the call you will need to speak to the caller on your phone and not through the watch. There are many helpful FAQ's and video's on teh functions of the watch at support.garmin.com. From that link you may also reach out directly to a product support specialist from that page.

    The Garmin lightweight fitness tracker. Pretty good price it tracks most of your fitness steps. And calories burned. The software needs to be updated it's hard to download songs to the watch. Not sure if I can it recommend it due to the software issues.
