    A great choice for those that want just few tracking features. Very stylish. Really like the feel of the band and the round watch face.

    Really sad watch. It looks nice, easy to set up but for some reason they don't believe you need to see your number of steps - which is the whole point. You have to go to a second screen. Whose idea was that? It gives you a lot of tracking measures including sleep - which I have no interest in. It tracks your heart rate and the weather. They also only give you a charging cord not the part that goes into the wall.

If you still need assistance, please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and video's on the functions of the device.

    On my second one after only a few months. Battery life isn’t great but overall it’s a great entry level running/activity tracking watch.

    It's okay. I don't think it keeps proper tracking. Tells me that I am stressing even when I am just sitting there relaxing. the miles tracker is not on point. It's simple

    Has many apps, with the ability to track a wide range of activities. Just wish recovery heart rate would be measured. Nice size, not overly large. Good watch for the price.

    I'm still learning the watch, so I might revisit this, but I'm really enjoying it so far. There could be more faces, and I wish that the notifications were more reliable.

    Doesn’t have good quality themes. It lags and sometimes it doesn’t take the themes well. The step count is a bit off. By the year it started giving problems. Every 90 days it erases your activity which is something I disliked. I’d rather save all the data. It worked with swimming

    Well, I missed the return window, or this item would have been returned. I previously had a Venu Sq that was three years old. It stopped keeping an accurate record for activities. I thought it might be time to upgrade. Boy, I made a huge mistake. This watch is very buggy. The battery life is about 4 days. The heart rate is accurate...until it isn't, requiring a reboot. The sleep tracking is a joke. Save your money - don't buy this version. Let's hope Garmin fixes it for future releases.

    They cheapened this watch so much, it’s Cheep fragile worthless. The watch band is way too short. Only fits teens. But they are still charging the good watch price. You can get a non Garmin with all the same features a lot cheeper. Too bad, I hope they return to the metal case and solid construction.
