    Perfect for those who like a more subtle look and flushed face watch. App has face downloads for customization. Smaller than Apple Watch.

    band is very uncomfortable and finding other bands that work with this product is really hard, even on amazon. The watch face cracked two months after purchase and Garmin will only exchange the product for 100$, that's half what I paid for at best buy, the features it claims to have are spotty at best, step count seems off half the time, and the sleep tracking is laughable. only saving grace is that the battery does last longer than a week, though the watch claims two weeks but that's only if it's used as a watch and not as any other feature.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This is my third smartwatch and none like this one. Quick setup via the app. I love that I can monitor my stress levels and it's pretty accurate.

    I had an older version of the same watch that I loved but I broke it. So i replaced it with a new model and I still love it. Just as good as the last model with a few new features!

    My wife got this for herself, and then it was heavily discounted, and then after the return period ended, I learned of the price match policy. If only, right? Still a fantastic watch, and even more so at the current price.

    Love the Garmin infrastructure. HR sensor very accurate. Much better than my Fitbit Charge 5. Battery life around 8days in smart watch mode with PulseOx disabled, it is a battery hog. So far it the watch has motivated me to run 4 days a week via Garmin challenges!
