    10/10, very accurate. It takes a week to completely calibrate your body. All the features are the best and you can even link your watch to fitness apps on you phone( my fitnesspal).

    I was getting over my Apple Watch and I’m glad I went with this one. Besides it being very cute it calculates your steps more accurately. And the battery life is amazing I could go a week without having to charge it.

    Excellent replacement for the vivoactice 2. The battery life is excellent, it has only been charged once in 5 days. So far we have only had it since Christmas, so 5 days. He only misses the watch face from his previous Garmin.

    The battery life is insane! I used to have an Apple Watch and it didn't last the day. My Garmin lasts a week and a half! Does a great job with tracking steps, heart rate, sleep, and other stuff. Def worth the purchase.

    Loved this watch from the get go. Its become what i wear every day, all day. Its extremely comfortable and love all of the different health features that it comes with. The garmin app has set me up with a solid strength training plan and being able to go threw the workout with just my watch on is awesome.

    It seems to work ok. There aren't a lot of options for fitness trackers that are simple, yet somewhat reliable. I have liked all of my Garmin watches, but none of them last very long. Maybe 3 or 4 years if I'm lucky. I do like that they don't currently charge extra to use the app. I think other brands have a subscription to view your personal data. I have to reluctantly admit that it is fun to see my texts on my watch. Took some getting used to, but I think it is a good thing. Strange, but oddly helpful. I also am amazed that I was able to put a picture of my puppy on my watch face.

    This is the best fitness tracker I have ever owned. I was a dedicated fitbit user, but they all quit working after a year. This Garmin is the most simple, useful tracker ever.

    Bought for my 12 year old and he loves it. He is not allowed a smartwatch at school but this watch allows him track his activity and works as it should. Others are jealous.

    Love wearing this watch to keep track of my steps, sleep, and it displays my blood sugar levels from my dexcom g7. I only have to charge it once a week. So lightweight I often forget it’s even there. Bought a screen protector because it does seem fragile and I work with my hands.

    Still getting to know the watch, but after 5 weeks it has done everything I wanted it to. The GPS/run mode is very accurate (even without having my phone on the run) and the post run report is full of great data. Morning report is helpful and the ability to check texts quickly on my watch means I am reaching for my phone less and less. Battery life is still really good. Only charge it every 6 days.
