Very happy with this watch. Got tired of always charging my Apple Watch. Love the outdoor tracking capabilities.

Great Watches

I have problems with oxygen staying over 90 percent and I didn't like apple. I heard about Garmin watches and started looking into them. They are a little on the expensive side but all the programs that come with them are worth it. I am glad that I bought one

Great battery life and it tracklots of information

I have now owned this watch for about a month now. I only need to charge it about once ever 8 days which is great since I usually use GPS for activities once a day. My prior watch would only make it about 2 days in between charges. There is also a lot of information tracked by the watch like body battery and training readiness. Both of these I find useful.

Not intuitive
on April 19, 2024
Posted by: TriMarathonRunner
I've had nothing but trouble with this watch. It didn't come with instructions, it is not intuitive, it changes display to coordinates and other mystery screens with no clear way how to navigate back to simple time. It loses connectivity with no clear way to restore it. I've had various GPS Garmin watches for running and even triathlons and this is absolutely the worst. It makes me not want any more Garmin products. Give this to someone who is easily frustrated and you dislike as a revenge present

Exceeds Expectations!
on April 19, 2024
Posted by: HD014
Coming from a basic Fitbit, prior to that a Pebble 2 Steel, Martian Notifier, and prior to all of those early Garmin Forerunner, this one takes everything that was good about my earlier watches and fixes all the bugs, quirks, and immaturity of the other models. I knew this would be an improvement, but it's so much more polished (in terms of software and hardware) and is more capable than I expected. As a person that enjoys the outdoors, hiking and bicycling this covers it all.

Love its so basic

This is a seemingly old-fashioned, simple watch! Only has about five buttons and takes about 15 to 20 minutes to figure out. Don’t have to worry about fancy colors sounds, and all the other bells and whistles.

Great value and size!

I bought this watch a little over a month ago and have been wearing it ever since (minus the charging part). This watch was instantly compatible with my health insurance perk app and immediately added the apps I need for work as a field geologist. This watch has added to completing field work and narrowing down location, direction and distance traveled in the field. I would highly recommend this watch as a cheaper alternative to its solar-charging big brother.
