The watch is beautiful and live the ease of changing watch faces. The sport part of the watch can take some getting used to and provides a lot of stats. Need to add d/l reports. Importing of Fitbit/MyZone data does Not work ☹️
I bought this watch to replace my Venu 2 as the battery died. The GPS did not work so the sent me a refurbished watch (not a new one) and the refurbished watch does not have a functioning GPS either. In short, don’t waste your money on this watch as the basic functions don’t work.
After 9 years of having Fitbit I switched over to Garmin and very happy I did it. The interface is so much better (I can actually read all my notifications), so many watch face options. I have my workout watch face, casual/chill face, and “fancy” face for dates and nice events. I kind of wish I could put those on a schedule (hint hint garmin). It has more algorithms (data insights). I love the microphone/speaker feature and also in LOVE with the battery life. It was definitely more expensive than my Fitbit charges which did make me nervous but I’m very happy with the purchase. The next test is longevity and checking out more apps with it. Hopefully I’ll get 3 or more years out of it!
