Best watch on the market!!!
on August 31, 2022
Posted by: Terryboy800
Mannn. This watch can do it all. So many features, I’m sure I only use 10% of what this watch can do, but I love the metrics. The workout suggestions are on point too. And the battery life is insane. I rarely charge it. 5 stars.

HR & Sleep Tracking not great. Actually, not good.

Had the watch a few weeks and sleep track just stopped after about a week. HR not continuously being tracked. Have to open Garmin Connect on my phone if I want my HR to start tracking again.

Great replacement for 920XT
on September 3, 2022
Posted by: Triathletewimad
Bought the watch a month ago. I use it every day. I am sure I don’t use half of the functions on the watch such as music. Lots of customization is possible with this watch. I have not done a triathlon with this watch yet, but I have been happy with the additional workouts then I had before. Strength training it usually gets the exercise correct when uploading to garmin connect. The linking to existing apps was easy. The setup did take a couple of minutes, but overall easy. I have not set up the ability to pay from the watch yet, but is something I plan on doing.
Watch sits well on my wrist and didn’t take long to get comfortable with having it slightly tighter than my 920XT. This is for making sure it reads the heart rate correctly.
Overall very happy with the new watch. GPS is good, multiple systems that you can use for increased accuracy.
Battery life has been good so far. Maybe charging once a week. Also nice that I can broadcast my heart rate to my smart trainer for my bike and I don’t have to wear my heart rate monitor for the bike.
I still use the heart rate monitor for running to get garmin running dynamics using a HRM-TRI unit.
I have not really dig into the running setting but I should have power available now on this watch and will be using that in the future.

The garmin was an upgrade to my garmin denim 5 and I love it! It’s lighter, smoother and has everything and more that the fenix had

Watch does exactly what I need whether it’s a 10 miles run or some sort of triathlon it does it job. My favorite feature has to be the amount of music that can be download comes very handy so I don’t have to carry my phone around.

This was a mistake to buy
on September 9, 2022
Posted by: Disappointed triathlete
First step out of Polar universe. Really annoying that this topwatch for multisport athletes only can sync 25 workouts, so if you lay up a whole year of training in the calendar the watch will vibrate and show a warning on screen that you are over the limit... for every workout that is over the limit....every time the watch syncronize...
I have normally 4 workouts planned each day, which makes one week of planned activity to much for this top of the line model. Easy work around would be to be able to choose how many days ahead to syncronize, but not even that is possible. This was a huge mistake to buy, going back to Polar.

good
on September 9, 2022
Posted by: Alex Moor
I bought the watch over 2 months ago. I switched from a Suunto watch. I use a garmin pro heart rate monitor. Of the pluses, the clock works for about 7 days. workouts about every day for an hour hour 30 minutes. I like the morning announcement of my condition and how I slept and how ready I am for training. I like the find phone feature. of the minuses, I have not yet figured out how to use the built-in trainer. and how to set it up for my heart rate. The design of the Garmin application has many metrics, but it is not very convenient to read them, the same pulse rate in separate time intervals. watch can recommend

You can do better

Bought this a month ago for tri training. Has a mind of its own in the pool. Needs to be supplemented with a heart monitor for runs and is worthless for cycling.
