    This is my first Garmin watch and it takes some getting use to. It has a lot of nice features, but I'm not sure how accurate the sleep tracker is. I had a Fitbit previously and liked the how it would sync automatically. This says it has a auto sync but I keep getting notifications on my phone to sync. This watch offers all kinds of metrics.

    Pros: this watch is pretty and has a good battery life Cons: I’ve used an Apple watch for too long I think for this watch to be impressive. It is not easy to use, not easy to find apps, there is no airplane mode if you want to lower EMF exposure, you cannot click on anything on the main screen to go to it, it does not check body temp, not user friendly, overall I returned it after wearing it for a day. There were too many things missing, it was too difficult to start and end workouts, it did not track my steps accurately when walking around my home, and the functionality did not make sense to me.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
