    Blue triangle of death

    I had my watch for a little over 3 months. All the functions worked as they should until they didn’t… one day I charge my watch and a blue triangle popped up and it never worked again. The geek squad tried restarting it but they couldn’t. If you look it up, it’s called a blue triangle of death, and it basically means the system crashed. There really isn’t an explanation to why it happens nor is there a fix. look up the issue before you purchase a Garmin watch. lucky I have the best buy memebership & was able to get a full refund w/ store credit.

    Watch looks and feels great but it is a little difficult to figure out. If you’re not very tech savvy and like simple things then this watch is not for you. This watch has A LOT of features and can be overwhelming.

    Really sad watch. It looks nice, easy to set up but for some reason they don't believe you need to see your number of steps - which is the whole point. You have to go to a second screen. Whose idea was that? It gives you a lot of tracking measures including sleep - which I have no interest in. It tracks your heart rate and the weather. They also only give you a charging cord not the part that goes into the wall.
