    Not what I expected

    This watch is just okay. It works, but I wasn’t really impressed with the performance or features. The interface can feel a bit clunky at times, and it’s not as smooth as I hoped. Battery life is decent, but overall it didn’t meet my expectations for the price. Probably wouldn’t buy it again.

    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.

    Doesn’t have good quality themes. It lags and sometimes it doesn’t take the themes well. The step count is a bit off. By the year it started giving problems. Every 90 days it erases your activity which is something I disliked. I’d rather save all the data. It worked with swimming

    This is my first Garmin watch and it takes some getting use to. It has a lot of nice features, but I'm not sure how accurate the sleep tracker is. I had a Fitbit previously and liked the how it would sync automatically. This says it has a auto sync but I keep getting notifications on my phone to sync. This watch offers all kinds of metrics.

    Took very little time to learn how to use. Everything seems accurate, except for one time it read my heart rate incorrectly at 140 BPM. Otherwise, works great for the money.
