    The watch was great I loved the HR monitor. It’s more accurate than most watches. Only issue is that it’s really small for me so I gave it to my wife instead and she a big Apple fan and sold her Apple Watch to keep her garmin she loves it so it wasn’t a big waste for me

    band is very uncomfortable and finding other bands that work with this product is really hard, even on amazon. The watch face cracked two months after purchase and Garmin will only exchange the product for 100$, that's half what I paid for at best buy, the features it claims to have are spotty at best, step count seems off half the time, and the sleep tracking is laughable. only saving grace is that the battery does last longer than a week, though the watch claims two weeks but that's only if it's used as a watch and not as any other feature.
