    As someone that has been using the Apple Watch since its existence, this is definitely a great watch. I love the consistency and accuracy when it comes to the number of calories burned and the body battery. The only downside is wishing there were more music options to be used.

    Love thia watch. It tracks my sleep acuratley and tracks all of my workouts as well. There is also a function on the watch that has workoits thay you can do. Can text on the watch but cant call. Thay would be the only downfall.

    Absolutely love this watch! My husband is constantly having to charge his Apple Watch and I go over a week without having to charge it! Does a great job of keeping up with my steps and I love the morning report that tells me how I slept.

    As a die hard apple fanatic I never saw myself using anything else. After researching I fell in love! It monitors my sleep, steps and stress levels. This also looks stylish on and the charge lasts for days. Can change out the bands as well. Great value for the price.

    Fits super well on my medium-small wrist. Tracks sleep well and recovery. I enjoy using it more than I've used other fitness tracking wearable products from other brands. Battery life is fantastic too.

    Works better than a fitbit. Hopefully it lasts longer than the 390 days the Fitbit did. Changed from two Fitbit units that lasted just over a year. Like the ability to see yardage distance from the wrist, but haven’t tried it yet. Only had it a few weeks, so extra functionality will be tested soon.

    This Garmin watch is very comfortable and has a very nice design. I only used to wear Apple watches and I will not be going back. The battery life is incredible and it syncs with every outdoor activity and training.

    Good alternative to an Apple Watch. Purchased more for the fitness aspects than communication ( texting, etc). It doesn’t disappoint. Steps and heart rate monitors are accurate. Would recommend if you are looking for a good fitness watch that isn’t Apple or Google based

    GREAT watch for 3rd shift, actually tracks sleep

    I work third shift, which means almost every watch on the market besides Garmin thinks i never sleep, as they don't track daytime sleeping. Aside from that, the watch has a much better battery than anything running Google's WearOS. The ONLY downside is some third party health apps don't connect to Garmin. Want to try Pokemon Sleep? Sorry. But the body battery is amazing. I thought it was a dumb gimmick at first, but it really matches how i feel. I've been able to increase my energy and improve my sleep.

    Switched from Fitbit Versa to this and so far am really pleased. It seems to function as it should, the battery life is fantastic (this was one of my top reasons over other smartwatches/ fitness trackers). I find the watch validates hoe I have been feeling sleep wise snd the body battery. I also really like the mini motivational comments about those numbers as well. Overall would recommend over my Fitbit versa for sure.
