    This is a great watch. The only issue i had was the the band was not large enough for me.

    This watch works PERFECT with my Dexcom unit. I am type 2 diabetic and instead of getting out my phone, logging in,etc...i just take a quick glance at this watch! My eyesight ia not the best so the variety of watch faces helped immensely!

    All garmin products are great, but my wife loves this one. It's got everything she needs. She has small wrists, and its not too bulky at all.

    It does everything I need it to do. Tracking steps seems to be slightly off like in some other reviews but for tracking workouts it’s been perfect.

    Good Fitness Tracker

    I missed having a fitness tracker after my Fitbit quit working & I didn't want another Fitbit. Garmins have a good reputation, so I chose this one. I've only had it a couple weeks & for the most part, I like it. I am still trying to figure out how to track the classes I take at my gym which is the main reason I only gave five stars. The only other issue I have is I have a small wrist & the watch face is huge on my arm. But that would happen with anything I buy.

    Phenomenal Upgrade

    I switched from a Samsung Galaxy Active to this watch due to the reviews around battery life. I was barely reaching 2 days with my Samsung and am now beyond 7 days before having to charge my device. The watch is comfortable and large enough to interact with and record all my workouts on. Very shocked at the amount of features they've packed into this little device and still have it last as long as it does. If you're in the market for an upgrade and your focus is fitness you really can't go wrong with this watch

    Great watch for the price. Does everything I need from a smart watch. My only complaint is that the watch head could be a bit smaller, but that's unfortunately just the size of smart watches nowadays. LOVE the fact that the battery stays charged for like 10 days, it's a game changer.
