    I previously had an Apple Watch and 100% prefer it more. The side buttons are so tiny and difficult to push if you wear it on your right hand. No being able to reply to messages are annoying. It’s difficult to find stuff a lot on the garmin too. It’s definitely though nice that it tracks your sleep and you barely have to charge it

    It's not user friendly with all the extra features. I don't golf and I just wanted simple interface. The CGM connect was not efficient with Garmin. I returned the product and bought Fitbit Sense 2; simple to use and synced with CGM
