    I returned an Apple Watch for this and couldn’t be happier. It allows me to sync Spotify playlists with the watch to listen to with Bluetooth headphones during workouts. Keeps track of workouts and heart rate along with GPS. Doesn’t have the display quality of an Apple Watch, but is probably better for workouts. Very happy with it.

    Way below expectations

    It was way below my any very humble expectations! Returning back to shop after 1 day of use. Battery life is probably the only advantage I found. The rest are negative: - screen brightness - at 100% is very low - I guess this is how you pay for long battery life - touchscreen is not responsive, especially double tap, have to do several attempts before watch will recognize it - not helpful in weight lifting exercises at all, no way you can easily log your progress, weights increase etc without constantly adjusting it in the app on phone - not waking up from sleep mode on the wrist turn, so just to check time you will have to press button (screen tap don't wake them either) And my personal: - don't have Google Music - don't have integration with JeFit

      Sorry to hear that you returned the device. The screen brightness is a balance between sunlight readability and battery life. The weight lifting activities can be adjusted after completing the activity. Also we are working towards adding more and more music options to the device but it does take time to develop as Garmin and the music providers both work together to get that done, and Garmin cannot force the music providers to do that so it takes time.

    This is a low end smart watch. If you are looking for the GPS part this would be a great watch. If you are looking for a Fully loaded smart watch go with Samsung or Apple. The extra money is worth it.

    Great watch, easy to use. Can only really use IHeart Radio and you can put music on from ITunes to the music part but if you have an android you can only use music controls to change songs or add songs from someone else's itunes from the computer, still need your phone. Great watch and you can sync your activity with Nike Run.

    I gave the watch to my husband to train for half marathons, he wears it everyday for work, hasn’t trained with it yet. More review will need to be done later. His main reason for wanting this particular watch was for the music downloads so he didn’t need 2 watches like a few of our friends wear.
