    I purchased this as a gift for my husband. He wanted Garmin (vs the apple watch I have). He loves it. It has so many settings that each day he shows me ... look at this!!

    My husband loves this watch, we did have to buy a larger band as the one that comes with the watch was a bit snug on him.

    The only knock is that is kind of wonky when customizing the widgets and colors for the watch face.

    This was an upgrade from the vívosmart he which was good but this is much better. More options for tracking your training and the bands are changeable too.

    This is a great smart watch focused on fitness. It tells me to move when I have been sitting too long. It displays texts, notifications and incoming calls as well.

    Not as accurate as previous older models from Garmin and/or other brands. During workouts no timer is being displayed. Downloaded & installed, then tried over a dozen new displays, very difficult to customize options to display various functions. Might return it.

    Only thing about this watch is it doesn't register steps as well as Fitbit 2 but does more things they don't. Too new to tell but so far so good.
