    Love the garmin. Has all the stats I need. The only thing is that it only has a max battery life of 3 days, but I do use the activity tracker roughly 2-3 hours a day.

    Good for monitoring activity, but it does not play music. So, returned it for vivoactive 3 - music, and am very pleased with it.

    This was intended as a gift for my husband, but I returned it because, after reading the instructions, decided it would be a great aggravation for him, swiping right and left. He likes his simple Garmin.

    This watch has all the necessary information to keep track of your health and train for races. Also does an excellent job keeping track of laps when swimming. Very high quality and great price.

    It's good but can always be better. Took a bit to figure some things out as the instructions that came with it were really lacking. Helps with my golf game.

    Bought this for a buddy of mine and he absolutely loves it. I think the band buckle snapped within a week of getting it due to him maybe pulling too hard but he replaced it and is now more active than before.

    This is a very comfortable watch, it links easily with an android phone and the app and shows notifications on the watch which was exactly what i needed. very visible in daylight as well.

    Excellent features, apps and display. Interests well with the app for monitoring and system updates. The interface can be a bit difficult to navigate, took some time to figure out.

    I have absolutely loved using this watch. The only reason I did t give it a 5 was that I wish the bezel and glass was as strong as an Apple Watch. It’s really easy to scratch it.

    This is my second Garmin device. I thought I'd lose my previous band data, but it synced perfectly and my 3 years of walking was saved! The watch itself records so much data! Love the stress feature!

    I accidentally tore the band from my watch and thanks to buying it as fine they replaced the launch as they had the same one in stock. Love using Best Buy for everything I have technical!

    Bought this for my husband - who is not a techie - and he loves it. It's a lovely neat looking watch too - very stylish and not bulky but yet masculine enough for a man to wear.

    I used to have a Fitbit ionic and I just had a lot of problems. So far, this Garmin has been great and is easy to use as it has a touch screen. Very happy that I switched!

    Like my other Garmin watch purchases, this watch exceeds all expectations. It is simply great at what it does, works very well as a smart watch, and is stylish enough to wear at work and while exercising.

    Does everything I need it to. Counts steps and keeps track of calories. Going to add an cadence sensor for my recumbent bike soon for better workout accuracy.
