    Love the Garmin infrastructure. HR sensor very accurate. Much better than my Fitbit Charge 5. Battery life around 8days in smart watch mode with PulseOx disabled, it is a battery hog. So far it the watch has motivated me to run 4 days a week via Garmin challenges!

    I'm not sure if I had a faulty watch, but if my phone were in my pocket it would disconnect and reconnect several times a day. HR monitor was working well, I would be running and it would register at 70BPM.

    This was a great gift. I have a lot of experience with Appel watch but she wanted a round face watch. From what I have heard it does a lot of the same thing my Apple does. The only complaint she had was how short the charging cable was.

    Had an earlier version of the same watch. This one is better with more functionality. Easy to add in the app and remove the old watch. Better looking, too.

    Doesn’t have good quality themes. It lags and sometimes it doesn’t take the themes well. The step count is a bit off. By the year it started giving problems. Every 90 days it erases your activity which is something I disliked. I’d rather save all the data. It worked with swimming
