    I was looking for a basic running gps watch and spent more for this for the features. I returned for a different brand that had voice command for the same price.

    10th Garmin watch during the past ten years

    This is my 10th Garmin watch during the past ten years. The first 4 watches (with chest straps) were great, except the battery would die too fast after less than a year of normal wear. Then, the succeeding watches that I’ve purchased, besides the battery issue, became more inaccurate as technology supposedly progressed. I was mostly disappointed about the gross inaccurate heart bpm measurement and the erroneous calorie calculation. However, what determined me to NEVER purchase another Garmin product is its HORRIBLE technical support; totally disrespectful, inefficient, and unprofessional on all ten encounters with them!

    Overall not very happy with the battery life. It won't stay charged for a full 2 days. My previous Garmin would go for days without needing to be recharged.

    This watch is great....until the software updates

    I liked it before the updates destroyed the battery life. There are certain features that will kill battery power within 6 hours but i didn't use them. After the software updates, this watch can be at 90% then die on your wrist in 2 days without warning. I'm taking it back after 3 months of owning it.

    Had it for a month and the face screen cracked when I accidentally hit my wrist on a rock while walking. Back to my Apple Watch Series 2 which has never cracked and is still in awesome condition after many hikes and adventures with it.

    I've been loving it!

    I've had this for about a month and I LOVE it!! once you figure out the controls, it's pretty simple. I knew i didn't need an Apple watch bc theres too many settings and too expensive, so this has been great. i was confused about some settings on the apps and how to get watch faces to download, but after a couple hours it showed up. I love how it looks on my wrist. I love getting notifications from my phone, it's so much better than checking my phone every so often (but know that you can't reply, which is fine with me). Highly recommend!!
