    Good alternative to an Apple Watch. Purchased more for the fitness aspects than communication ( texting, etc). It doesn’t disappoint. Steps and heart rate monitors are accurate. Would recommend if you are looking for a good fitness watch that isn’t Apple or Google based

    Awesome smart watch, I returned it for the Venu 3 because it had more storage and larger battery. The Vivoactive 5 is a very nice watch just not for me. I do recommend this.

    Purchased this for my MIL - she really enjoys it and screen is large and bright enough for her to read. Much better battery life than Apple Watch and other Android based watches.

    Exactly the features I was looking - fitness focused and not just a smart phone for the wrist. Tracks steps accurately. Battery lasts and entire week, even when wearing over 95% of the time. Garmin customer service is top notch, if you have any questions about your device.
