Small and lightweight
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Felt cheap so I returned. Very small and lightweight, good for someone who is looking for that, you can barely feel it when it’s on. Ultimately I returned and got a venu 3s.

Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not user friendly with all the extra features. I don't golf and I just wanted simple interface. The CGM connect was not efficient with Garmin. I returned the product and bought Fitbit Sense 2; simple to use and synced with CGM

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBlue triangle of death
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had my watch for a little over 3 months. All the functions worked as they should until they didn’t… one day I charge my watch and a blue triangle popped up and it never worked again. The geek squad tried restarting it but they couldn’t. If you look it up, it’s called a blue triangle of death, and it basically means the system crashed. There really isn’t an explanation to why it happens nor is there a fix. look up the issue before you purchase a Garmin watch. lucky I have the best buy memebership & was able to get a full refund w/ store credit.

Good watch if you like a lot of features
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Watch looks and feels great but it is a little difficult to figure out. If you’re not very tech savvy and like simple things then this watch is not for you. This watch has A LOT of features and can be overwhelming.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful watch but too busy. Meaning…too much going on with the apps at all times. Ended up switching to Apple

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to returned this item. Not meet my expectations and needs. The setting for exercise mode was kind of weird. I really disappointed. The battery drain too fast

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly would prefer an apple watch better, hate that it has to adjust to workout a couple minutes later than automaticly
I would recommend this to a friendNot too good
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.not good for long use. battery get drained in 2 days
I would recommend this to a friendSkip 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.

Worst purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 1 year, battery started working almost a day, and 2 months after, it never worked again. Disaster

Easily lost
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I unfortunately misplaced it and now they won't even let me track it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoesn't do what it is advertised to do!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sooooo disappointed!! This Garmin doesn't track your elevation! Such a basic function. And what's worse, Best Buy is advertising that it does.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GarminProductExpert
Posted .To record elevation with activities, you'll need to make sure that you're selecting an outdoor activity. If you're selecting the indoor version of an activity--as I've done by accident a number of times--your watch will turn off GPS, and your activity will be missing elevation and other GPS data.
Missing Product - don't buy here
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to rate because their shipper never delivered the product and will not refund or replace the item. Purchase somewhere with better customer service and reliable shippers such as Amazon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDon't buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn't work so I returned it. It has a known tech error which prohibits the watch to download software
