Love the amoled screen and all the features the watch has. I really like the hrs data along with the morning reports as well. You really don’t need any more than this watch provides
I love everything about it. I love that I can track my workout and listen to my favorite playlist without having to carry my phone into the gym. It is a very smart watch that is intuitive to use.
Bought this watch and have had it about a month. Switched from an Apple Watch and never looking back. Love the battery life as well as the smartwatch capabilities.
This watch is bright and easy to see in various lighting conditions. It is intuitively designed. I can quickly access most of its features automatically. I also love how it feels on my wrist. Most times I forget that it's there.
Love the Watch, battery time is great and a lot of great features. I just wish it had more sports in the list of activities, I play handball and would love to just press ”handball” in activities when I have training, rather then having to manually add it after every workout
I absolutely love the health and performance data that is available on Garmin. I will keep it due to the data and options but it has some room for improvement. I’m a pretty tech savvy person but the set up and ongoing update process requires a lot more than an Apple Watch. I had to download two apps and software to add Spotify to my watch or upload watch faces. I was successful but the process is far from smooth and can use refinement. Another con is the transfer of data to other apps such as Apple Health and Pacer. I have pretty much lost my data because it doesn’t sync consistently even when I try to help with the sync process. Beyond that the battery life and access to performance data will keep me using my Garmin.
I bought this to replace my Fitbit Sense which died. I loved that Sense, but this Garmin is proving to be a good alternative. It gives me lots of information, and I do not have to buy a subscription--I refuse to buy a watch that won't give me info without a subscription. I am still learning all its features. I've discovered all the watch faces I can download. I love design and color--- I wouldn't buy a watch without it.
