    This is my first smart watch and I absolutely enjoy wearing it! It’s comfortable and stylish and does everything I need it to do. I haven’t taken it on a jog yet, but I’m excited to soon to check out the activity feature. I know most smart watches tell you to start moving, and I didn’t think I’d like that feature, but I actually do appreciate that it reminds me to not be so sedentary. Get those steps in! Added bonus is that almost all the features of this watch are comparable with iOS.

Plus there’s tons of upgrades for it on Connect IQ app. I’ve used mine on Road biking and motocross and it’s held up

    This is the first time using a garmin watch but struggled with setup but used online manual for help. Disappointed ands cannot be easily replaced. No warning battery is dying or used up. The delivery of the watch was slow by Best Buy but acceptable.

    The Garmin is a great watch for tracking your exercise routine. The music is an added plus since you don't have to carry your phone.

    I wanted to replace my Fitbit Versa 2. I loved the Versa 2, but not for HR or GPS. I bought this and lasted 1 week with it. I'm over 50 and couldn't see the watch face well. Even switched to a different face. Loved the HR and GPS. Disliked the Garmin app continually asking me to turn on text and other items. Wasn't thrilled with how to start and stop the watch. I ended up returning it and got the Samsung Active 2 watch. For me, it just fits better. Fitbit is absolutely best for steps and sleep. As well as their dashboard. Garmin.. probably better if buying the more expensive model. I didn't like it and wouldn't buy it again.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Upgraded to this watch from a garmin vivosport. So far, happy with my purchase. Definitely don’t get the battery life I was lead to believe, but still is better than Apple Watch/ most other fitness trackers . Heart rate monitor seems much more accurate than the vivosport. Seems accurate when running and using the gps. Not sure about other workouts. Haven’t had time to download music to it yet, but am super excited for that feature. So far it lets me read texts, shows me when someone calls, etc. it does “disconnect” from your phone at a relatively close distance. If you walk more than 15-20 feet away it disconnects. Option to add credit card and a safety feature which is nice. So far, I am happy with my purchase.
