It has great features but I am having a hard time syncing with my phone. My son-in-law is helping me.

I am a cardiac patient who is in rehab!!!
I appreciate being able to track my blood oxygen and pulse in real time at a glance!!!
I am also an upland bird hunter so I can track my GSP also at a glance!!

This replaced my Garmin Instinct 2 Which was great but I needed the larger face so I could read it better. Love having so much info at one glance.

I bought this watch for one purpose, pairing it with my Garmin dog tracking handheld. It fulfilled my needs

Hassle at best
on November 26, 2025
Posted by: Shiner
I am fairly new to this watch but: The fit is not good, band is terrible and buttons hard to access/use. The settings are really hard to use with a very confusing button activity. Choices on setup of the screen are very limited and not intuitive. All in all it is the worst purchase I have made in a very long time, Maybe at half the price I would be willing to tolerate this thing but I doubt it. I am looking at it now and do not understand what some of the indications even mean on the face. Yes I have gone through all of the videos and instructions. Most of this stuff cannot be changed. Also no assistance available.

I bought for the dog tracking feature. The watch band is acceptable but I can’t wear to bed.
