I love it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great choice for those that want just few tracking features. Very stylish. Really like the feel of the band and the round watch face.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really sad watch. It looks nice, easy to set up but for some reason they don't believe you need to see your number of steps - which is the whole point. You have to go to a second screen. Whose idea was that? It gives you a lot of tracking measures including sleep - which I have no interest in. It tracks your heart rate and the weather. They also only give you a charging cord not the part that goes into the wall.

Not bad

Good fitness watch with enough bells and whistles
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has many apps, with the ability to track a wide range of activities. Just wish recovery heart rate would be measured. Nice size, not overly large. Good watch for the price.

First non Fitbit watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm still learning the watch, so I might revisit this, but I'm really enjoying it so far. There could be more faces, and I wish that the notifications were more reliable.

Garmin
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Skip this one
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I missed the return window, or this item would have been returned. I previously had a Venu Sq that was three years old. It stopped keeping an accurate record for activities. I thought it might be time to upgrade. Boy, I made a huge mistake. This watch is very buggy. The battery life is about 4 days. The heart rate is accurate...until it isn't, requiring a reboot. The sleep tracking is a joke. Save your money - don't buy this version. Let's hope Garmin fixes it for future releases.

Cheep fragile worthless
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They cheapened this watch so much, it’s Cheep fragile worthless. The watch band is way too short. Only fits teens. But they are still charging the good watch price. You can get a non Garmin with all the same features a lot cheeper. Too bad, I hope they return to the metal case and solid construction.
