I received this watch as a birthday gift from my husband I had used an Apple Watch for four years and loved it- this one surpasses my old watch. Love everything about it
I bought this almost a month ago and it’s a game changer for my physical and mental health. I feel more in tune with myself and can track my workouts better!
I've had the watch about 3 weeks. I love the watch -- big improvement over my past fitbit watches. I'm happy garmin offered the 3S as I have a small wrist. I'm still learning the watch and get confused on how to interpret some of the data but that will come with more use. I'm not happy with the strength workout setting. I like to put the app on and go, not have to keep interfacing to tell it reps are complete. Otherwise no big issues. Battery life is better than expected so far.
I'm very satisfied with most things on my watch, however; the tracking of distance walked is way off and shows about 30 to 40% more steps than actually walked and that was the main reason I bought the watch and I am probably going to return it.
Switching from apple watch to garmin is indeed a big change for me. Even until now I don’t know where to go or which buttons to push. Not that it’s hard I was just an apple gal. But this was has been great the battery last for a week if not more. On top of that it is super light you wont feel like wearing a watch. Still on a getting to know stage but so far I love it!
After just two days of normal wear, the watch face shows numerous scratches. It is unknown what exactly caused the large scratches but it's pretty upsetting considering this watch's price point. If you do decide to spend the money on this watch, you must get a screen protector, but know that there aren't many on the market right now.
