    Very user friendly with vibrant colors which are easy to see. Battery life is much better than older models.

    This watch is perfect for someone trying to focus on activity/health tracking. I previously had an apple watch, but it would be inaccurate at times with tracking, battery would die after a day, and was relavyively bulky/heavy. Dont get me wrong, the apple watch is a great smartwatch, but the garmin is a great health watch. Ive had it for a few months and still going strong!

    Really enjoy this watch! If you're into metrics for fitness and sleep, it is excellent! The charge also lasts me about a week which is incredibly impressive.

    There are a few software and hardware issues that keep me from giving this 5 stars. But overall, it's been a good replacement for my Fitbit Charge 4. Software - it doesn't do as good a job at recognizing steps when I'm pushing a lawnmower or similar, as the Fitbit did. But it does record distance (which may be less relevant, as I'm not focused on distance for fitness). It also doesn't seem to recognize the need for additional hydration when I'm using the golf app. My typical hydration needs are 2 quarts per day. When I use a walking app to track lawn work, it shows that additioal hydration need for the day. But when I use the golf app for golf, it don't recognize the additional hydration need. Even though I've got an elevated heart rate and breathing rate going. I'm pushing a cart, so it's not seeing those steps. Hardware - I don't get anywhere near the advertised duration between charges - it's under a week for the way I use it. I wish there was a way to turn off the on-board GPS (which seems to take a lot of battery) for exercises where it's not needed (lawn work, etc.). I like a lot of the information provided. I'm not sure about the accuracy of either this or the Fitbit it replaced for sleep tracking - but it does seem consistent within itself, not with the Fitbit.

    This watch has done everything I wanted it to do. It has enough smartwatch features but has all the fitness aspect I wanted for workouts. I’m a rower and do a wide variety of workouts so this watch is perfect. Best of all the battery doesn’t need charging everyday!

    I like it very much. I wanted a watch that kept a charge for days. Didn’t have a lot of apps on it. I use it for working out and walking distances. Very accurate.

    It's an excellent watch, I bought it 3 weeks ago and charged it only 3 times. I use it all day and night to sleep. Recently I have seen some news of people who have discovered health problems thanks to Garmin, because when used with a certain frequency, the watch will warn you if something in your body is not correct. I recommend
