    We usually upgrade our health watches every few years. Well Garmin hit it out of the park again. The battery is better than the previous model and the display is much more crisp.

    Nothing bad with Samsung but the 1 day battery my only thing with this watch is it could feel fragile not offering much protection unless you buy a screen protector or some kind of accessory for the watch

    I liked my vivoactive 4 better. They got rid of the stair climbing metric on this watch. I feel the step counting is off unless you tell it you’re on a walk. It frequently loses connection to my phone while it’s in my pocket. It’s overall a good watch, but I wish I kept my vivoactive 4.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I bought this watch for my wife as a Bday gift and it was worth it. The watch has been very useful to keep her health checked and also to track her running while training for the 2025 Marathon. Worh every penny and she is verry satisfied with the gift.
