    Starting my fitness journey I knew I needed a new watch, even though I had an Apple Watch. I absolutely love this watch! It helps me start in control of my fitness goals. Super easy to use!

    Durable, great battery, excellent activity and step tracking to monitor fitness and improvement. The display is a huge step up over earlier vivoactive models as well.

    Happy with making the switch from my Apple Watch. One of the main reasons is the battery life is so much better and I enjoy being able to track my sleep and body battery. Do miss some of the features from my Apple Watch like having a mic or responding to text but overall not a major loss for me.

    Bought for my 12 year old and he loves it. He is not allowed a smartwatch at school but this watch allows him track his activity and works as it should. Others are jealous.

    I purchased this watch after my Pixel Watch 2 stopped reading my heart rate after 14 months. Two items that I highlight are standouts. First the battery lasts at least 10 days and this is with daily cardio workouts and 3 time/week strength workouts. The second is the software stability. It is stable and doesn't change settings on its own. I recommend this watch.

    A nice intro of the Garmin smartwatches. I needed a watch that was a tracker and this one suits my purpose. I like the gps and so far it has worked flawlessly. This watch recharges quickly, an added plus.

    I really enjoy all the new features available on this watch compared to the previous generation. For example, sleep quality, Hrv status, recovery time recommendations. The ability to input the amount of weight you’re working out with. The ability to correct the number of reps completed if there is an error. So much more. I really enjoy this new watch and it is stylish too.

    It seems to work ok. There aren't a lot of options for fitness trackers that are simple, yet somewhat reliable. I have liked all of my Garmin watches, but none of them last very long. Maybe 3 or 4 years if I'm lucky. I do like that they don't currently charge extra to use the app. I think other brands have a subscription to view your personal data. I have to reluctantly admit that it is fun to see my texts on my watch. Took some getting used to, but I think it is a good thing. Strange, but oddly helpful. I also am amazed that I was able to put a picture of my puppy on my watch face.

    Love this watch! Bought for my husband as a gift after receiving one myself. The little watch does so much and is durable. I am a nurse and clumsy so this watch has sttod up to a lot of wear. The husband works construction and it has lasted with no scratches for a few months so far. Only complaint is the band that comes with is uncomfortable.

    Loved this watch from the get go. Its become what i wear every day, all day. Its extremely comfortable and love all of the different health features that it comes with. The garmin app has set me up with a solid strength training plan and being able to go threw the workout with just my watch on is awesome.

    This watch is everything I wanted in a watch. The battery life is much better than an Apple watch. It also tracks my sleep and other things which is why I chose this watch over getting another apple watch.

    So far so good. Seems to be accurate with heart rate and exercise. Need to down load the app (which is free) to get more features. Didnt care for the band. Bought a different style since the plastic one was uncomfortable.
