    I previously had an Apple Watch and 100% prefer it more. The side buttons are so tiny and difficult to push if you wear it on your right hand. No being able to reply to messages are annoying. It’s difficult to find stuff a lot on the garmin too. It’s definitely though nice that it tracks your sleep and you barely have to charge it

    I've been using this watch for ten months now. At first, I was happy. 9 months in, it won't stay connected to my phone. Last weekend, for no reason I can explain, the glass cracked while I was navigating the apps. Not cool.
