    My review is not on the Item, but rather on Best Buy. The box did not include a Garmin charging cable, so we had to return it (they had no suitable replacement). Ended up buying at a competitor.

    Not very accurate step count nor stress measurement in comparison to other Garmins. The continually high stress readings started to stress my wife out.step count seemed regularly about 20-30% too high.

    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.

    Fine for what it is. Probably better off spending a bit more for the Venu.

    Blue triangle of death

    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.

    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.

    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.
