    Still testing but not overly impressed.

    I've not had the opportunity to do a lot of testing yet - nothing outside to test the GPS. The HR monitor can be up to 20 bpm off from what my treadmill reads - not sure which is correct. Most indoor activities don't provide valuable information - no distance given for cycling or treadmill. Stairs are never accurate - up and down never match, but for me they should.

    Nice activity tracker but the pins that held the band on broke so I had to get a new tracker.

    I was really excited to get this item, but when I did was somewhat disappointed. The interface is a bit annoying to use, you have to dig in a lot find what mode you want to operate. The quality of graphics is also lackluster. The big downside however, was that it was incredibly bulky and difficult to sleep with.

    Read a lot of reviews before purchasing and it came down to the fit bit surge and the garmin. Choose the garmin for it's bluetooth capability and customizing apps.

    This watch should put FitBit on notice. The feature set is incredible, the battery life is great, and it is water proof. The phone app with it is just okay.

    Great watch, bought for my wife but we both use regularly. Used for multiple long distance runs (2 halfs. & 1 full marathon) and also 1 triathlon. Worked great.

    Switched from Fitbit to garmin and wasn't sure if I would like the difference. So far it's very easy to use and has more features that Fitbit. Recommended

    Love this watch. Unfortunately it has been sent back to Garmin due to a water intrusion issue. I went swimming in June Lake (8000 ft., in the Sierras) and the screen went black the it died. Otherwise, the functions and features are great. I am an ocean swimmer as well and use the "other" category to track my swims. Great for cycling although it could use a handlebar mount.
