    I returned it. Not great for water sports which is why I purchased it. The gps works well but the heart rate is way off. I'll wait for these watches to get more advanced before I get another one

    Biggest issue is the the HR read is not correct, especially when working out. There are times when it doesn't ready my HR at all. I do like the connect to my cell phone and the notifications.

    Once replacement unit was setup all was working great except for golf. Golf software does not advance hole to hole and sometimes just just locks up! All other software working fine!

    The glass edge on the front had issues. Returned the product back to Best Buy. Never buy things during Thanksgiving again because they are offering at a discounted price.

    still trying to figure out how it works

    the quick start instructions were not informative and refers to instruction in the regular instruction that are NOT there . I tried to get instruction from the web with no success. Even tried you-tube. I found info and videos on benefits but nothing on how to operate. I am still trying to figure out how it works. I can normally set watches without instruction but not this one. If there is anyone out there that knows how to get it working, PLEASE let me know. That is quite an expensive watch to just be sitting around doing nothing.
