    We usually upgrade our health watches every few years. Well Garmin hit it out of the park again. The battery is better than the previous model and the display is much more crisp.

    Not Sure How Accurate

    I purchased this device after being a longtime Fitbit user. I wasn't happy to lose key capabilities on my previous device so I looked for alternatives. I would say the jury is still out but here are some initial observations. The most disappointing feature is the auto-tracking. It simply is not working like it should. Mid-activity the tracking stops. It's happened every time I tried to use this feature. Despite NUMEROUS troubleshooting steps give to me by support, it continue the same pattern. I also told support (repeatedly) that no, I did not stop at a light or took a break when it stopped. I was walking in semi-rural areas and was mid-stride without stopping AT ALL when the device stopped tracking. Once I was going up a steep incline. The second question mark for me is the sleep tracking. I'm not saying that it isn't accurate but it gives very different results from Fitbit. I don't know which is more accurate. Personally, this device has far more "stuff" than I need. I do like the face of it and the snapshots. I don't know if it's just me but I often have trouble with the top button that I don't seem to have with the bottom button. I'm hoping with continued use, glitches will work out. I put No to recommend but that could change (I hope). Positive-battery life, comfort, look

    I moved from a Fitbit after my third started leaking water even though it is for swimming. So far, after the first summer in the pool swimming laps, it has done great. The batter life is way better than other smart watches that have to be charged daily. I go about 4-5 days between charging. The screen is bright and the notifications are working like I want.

    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.

    An affordable alternative to the traditional Apple Watch. It was easy to pair with my iPhone 16 Pro. The greatest feature is that the battery life is quite long compared with other devices like this one. Simple enough to use and easy to install on my iPhone. Well worth the price for the power. Quite satisfying overall.

    Great watch. It has many features that I like. It is pretty easy to use and has a good battery life. I like this better than the fit bit. I like that I can personalize the face to see certain results on the screen at all times. It’s comfortable and fits well. The price wasn’t too bad either. There nothing so far that I don’t like

    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.

    This watch was a good fit for my needs. I need to track blood oxygen levels while sleeping and it’s perfect for that. And for a plus the sleep score is a good feature. The only reason for 4 stars is that on occasion it will irritate my skin overnight

    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.

    I bought this watch for my wife as a Bday gift and it was worth it. The watch has been very useful to keep her health checked and also to track her running while training for the 2025 Marathon. Worh every penny and she is verry satisfied with the gift.
