    I like it very much. I wanted a watch that kept a charge for days. Didn’t have a lot of apps on it. I use it for working out and walking distances. Very accurate.

    There are a few software and hardware issues that keep me from giving this 5 stars. But overall, it's been a good replacement for my Fitbit Charge 4. Software - it doesn't do as good a job at recognizing steps when I'm pushing a lawnmower or similar, as the Fitbit did. But it does record distance (which may be less relevant, as I'm not focused on distance for fitness). It also doesn't seem to recognize the need for additional hydration when I'm using the golf app. My typical hydration needs are 2 quarts per day. When I use a walking app to track lawn work, it shows that additioal hydration need for the day. But when I use the golf app for golf, it don't recognize the additional hydration need. Even though I've got an elevated heart rate and breathing rate going. I'm pushing a cart, so it's not seeing those steps. Hardware - I don't get anywhere near the advertised duration between charges - it's under a week for the way I use it. I wish there was a way to turn off the on-board GPS (which seems to take a lot of battery) for exercises where it's not needed (lawn work, etc.). I like a lot of the information provided. I'm not sure about the accuracy of either this or the Fitbit it replaced for sleep tracking - but it does seem consistent within itself, not with the Fitbit.

    Would recommend it, I do wish it was a bit easier to use. But I was an Apple Watch user so it’s just taking time to get used to

    This watch has done everything I wanted it to do. It has enough smartwatch features but has all the fitness aspect I wanted for workouts. I’m a rower and do a wide variety of workouts so this watch is perfect. Best of all the battery doesn’t need charging everyday!

    It's an excellent watch, I bought it 3 weeks ago and charged it only 3 times. I use it all day and night to sleep. Recently I have seen some news of people who have discovered health problems thanks to Garmin, because when used with a certain frequency, the watch will warn you if something in your body is not correct. I recommend

    The battery last so long!!! That is enough to join garmin. This is more of a training watch than a smart watch but i still get notifications. There’s an app specific for the watch and the information on there is so easy to read

    Outstretched battery life (9+ days), good heart rate, step and sleep monitors, and I like how I dan check the weather from the watch. Compared to my previous fitbit, I miss the calorie log feature. I haven’t tried Garmin training programs yet, but it looks like there are a lot of options. Overall, very happy with the new watch.
