Great Value Watch
on October 3, 2025
Posted by: Jim 1983
I upgraded from a Vivoactive 4. The more advanced features are very obvious. Screen is bright and vibrant. Battery life is great. Its easy to add and launch activities for tracking and workout. Easy to activate emergency settings.
What keeps it from a 5 star review is the "flashlight". I know it isn't actively advertised as a key feature but its an absolute joke. It projects from the watchface rather than a side LED and on its brightest setting it doesn't even cast comparable light to a cell phone screen. Even in pitch black its useless. It begs the question why have it at all?

After having the Fenix for a few weeks I keep getting more impressed. Thank you Garmin for striving to be the best. It shows. My life has changed for the better because of this watch. I can't think of another product where I could honestly say that. Thank you!

I bought it a month ago, and my only regret is not purchasing it earlier.

Good for activity, needs better all-round function

I bought the Fenix to replace a Samsung watch on the basis of better in-activity performance (swimming, hiking, etc.). I think if you are buying this watch primarily to track training activities, you will be pleased. However, more general functionality should be improved given the price point. I was not aware until after purchase that I can answer my phone using the watch but I cannot talk or hear the caller unless I go to my phone (no microphone or speaker on watch). This is a worthless feature and less expensive watches have full Bluetooth 'answer and talk' features. Additionally, Garmin claims that its step counting feature is more accurate than competitors because it filters out arm movements that should not count as steps. After mowing my large yard and noticing my step count seemed low, I confirmed that my Fenix was not counting my steps when my hand was on my mower. I assume this would be the case pushing a stroller, jogger, or cart of any type. To test, I wore my Fenix and my older watch both and a ankle strapped pedometer for a day. While the old watch counted about 10% more steps than the pedometer, the Fenix was 16% less than the pedometer. One can say that it is relative and day to day comparison that is important. However, Garmin markets their products for accuracy and precision. I believe Garmin has work to do to improve the accuracy of their step counting function.

Outstanding watch

I was using the Forerunner 945 LTE prior to getting the Fenix-E.
Lightyears different. From the amazing AMOLED screen to the various functions and features, the Fenix is in a completely different class. It's a brilliant upgrade and a wonderful tool for workouts, wellness and just general timekeeping.
I love the touchscreen for data entry (reps and weight).
Accuracy is excellent... altitude, climb, distance, etc.
Size is perfect (and good looking!!). Great available watch faces (data-rich and analog).
Just an outstanding watch all around. Love it. Well done, Garmin.
