    This Garmin watch is very comfortable and has a very nice design. I only used to wear Apple watches and I will not be going back. The battery life is incredible and it syncs with every outdoor activity and training.

    Best fitness watch on the market

    I had Fitbits in the past and they didn’t last long. I had a Garmin and loved it but switched to Apple for a while but got fed up and switched back, permanently! Apple is a fashion statement; Garmin is an actual fitness watch that encourages fitness and health. The functionality is awesome and shockingly better than the Apple.

    Great watch. Accurately monitors body metrics and the charge is good for 7 days. Ive used it foe 4 weeks now and right out the box ot lasted 5 days before needing a charge. Connects well with other weightloss apps and the garmin app itself is user friendly and accurate. Would absolutely recommend to amyone looking to track fitness either for enrty level trwcking or hardcore fitness.

    Still not so sure on the 5. I had the 4 and I loved it but, the battery wasn’t holding so I wanted a new one. The battery life is great on the 5. The look is great. It is smaller than the 4, which I like. It does all the same things as the 4. There is some question on the syncing that I am not so sure about yet. Jury is still out on this one.

    Great watch, wonderful features. Unfortunately will cause you to break out if you have a nickel allergy. Other than that it’s worth the investment.

    Love this Watch. It is so light. Easy to use. Sometimes the battery life dips. But it’s usually is resolved quickly by the company with an update. Strong glass.

    I like this watch; however, the screen has gone black on me multiple times already and then doesn't want to work. Battery life is nice compared to my old Apple watch. I wanted to get something different this time in case I would ever switch back to an Android.

    Bought this watch for my husband to replace his aging fitbit. The battery life on this watch was a game changer for him. We can travel for a week without thinking about a charge. It’s great!

    I love this watch. Worth every penny. Great for tracking pretty much everything and also gives you great tips and advice to create healthier habits. I got one for my 14 yr old son and it got him better at going to sleep at night than me.
