    Decent smartwatch for basic notification needs (text, emails, phone, etc.) but much heavier on the sports/fitness functions than I'd care for and the watch apps other than that are pretty limited. Navigation and set-up are more difficult than I expected having come from owning Pebble smart watches for years.

    I preordered this watch the day it was available. I have owned every fitness device from every manufacturer over the last few years and I have always found myself coming back to Garmin devices. My most recent watch was the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier and it was a good smart watch but the GPS side of it was horrific. I ditched that and have been using the original Vivoactive until this watch was released. I have had this watch for 1 week now and here is what I think so far: Pros: Beautiful watch that looks like a regular watch on my wrist. Not too thick like the S3 was and very lightweight, the stock band is super soft and comfortable. GPS is excellent, just like Garmin devices always are. Battery life is good, not as good as the original Vivoactive but still really good considering the size and what it does. After 24 hours off the charger and going on 1 four mile run, the battery is at 67%. I imagine I will get just under a week between charges at this pace. Display is good and the backlight is plenty bright. I have it 40% brightness and it's fine there. Data fields are good, very similar to original Vivoactive. Cons: My biggest complaint is that for $300, I was hoping the smart watch features would be better. You can reply to a text message with preset replies, it would be nice to be able to use more than the preset replies though. Also, I have found no way to delete an email on the phone from the watch. This was a great feature on the S3, to be able to delete email on my phone without having to pull it out. Some of the apps in the Garmin store do not work right with this watch yet, even though the app says it's compatible . Example is the stopwatch app, there is no way to reset the time or add laps. I'm guessing this will get sorted out as apps are updated and more come out. - Some of the apps from the Garmin IQ store will kill the battery in a matter of hours. I really don't think they are 100% compatible yet. The stopwatch app would bring the battery from 100% to 0 withing a day, even though it wasn't running. Once I did a factory reset and didn't install the additional apps, the battery was back to normal. In summary, so far I like the watch. The looks and weight of this watch are really top notch! I'm hoping some of the smart watch functions improve via firmware updates. The app problem needs to be fixed as well, I have done 3 factory resets so far to fix the app battery issue.
