    Pretty good tracker for everything in your normal day. User interface could use some work but by far the best thing about the watch is it’s sleep tracking.

    1. Overall I liked the watch very much. 2. If you are purely using it for daily runs, walk, exercise activities - this watch covers all 3. Has smart notifications 4. Best part is it stores music offline. So using Bluetooth headphones you can use it on your run. Note: I returned the product as I got better deal on Best buy for little higher end watch that does the same thing as this watch

    Ive really been enjoying my first garmin. I specifically love that it’s smart and automatically reminds me about traffic updates based on past commutes at similar times. It’s light and durable. I would like the vibration to be stronger on my arm because i use it as my alarm clock and I’m a heavy sleeper. But everything else is stellar.

    For the price, not worth it. It counts steps while driving a car or typing on a laptop, that's pretty bad. It also doesn't let you delete sleep data, all data should be under the user's control- simple concept. It won't pair with my Galaxy Buds.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    First GPS/Smart watch

    This is my first GPS watch, as I wasnt sure if i would truly benefit from it. I already use Strava on my Iphone for running and biking. I have truly enjoyed the easy interface and how easy it is to see your progress during a run/ride. I especially like the heart rate monitoring capability and have found it to be very accurate just using the watch intself.

    This is a second smart watch that my son bought. First one he bought was the Fit bit Versa which he did like but it was not as customizable as the Garmin watch. He returned the Fit bit watch for the Garmin. He likes the features better on the Garman watch than the Fit bit. He also compare this to the Apple Watch and did not want to go with that even though he has an iPhone because of the lack of customization options.

    I traded a samsung watch to the garmin because of the pulse reader .this one is quite accurate on my hikes or run. I am receiving notifications of calls and texts which is nice. This watch has no speaker or mike so not talking on watch to answer. I liked the watch faces on the samsung better and also the ability to modify them for your own use. overall happy with the purchase.

    This is a nice upgrade to the Vívofit HR we previously owned. Nice upgraded features and display is much better. Don’t really use the music storage aspect of this watch yet but am interested in learning more on how to use it. I would recommend this watch as an upgrade to the previous version we had which lasted about 2 years then stopped counting activity.

    Great running watch - Difficult Music Setup

    Feels like I live in the future. Listening to music while running, without carrying a bulky phoneor using a cumbersome strap, is incredible. I spent nearly 2 hrs trying to figure out how to get music on to the watch. Not compatible with Apple Music or ITunes...AT ALL. I had to download Spotify in order to get music to sync with watch.
