Great features but still lacking flexibility.

Posted by: Mike Milan
I bought it 3 months ago and this is the second watch. The first one stopped working and was replaced by Garmin.
Not as intuitive as IWatch. Garmin wins due to navegation features or those of us with boats.
I am not a golfer but I cannot remove golf and golf maps from my garmin!
Would I recommend? Only if you own a boat. I am a bike enthusiast and I prefer Apple over this one.
Too thick and bulky
Expensive for what it does.
Hopefully in a years term Garmin will come up with a better watch. Tip for Garmin, please use AI to help design a better watch and to add AI features on it.

Great hardware and build quality but…

I finally grew tired of dealing with the software. I love Garmin products but this just isn’t in my favorite list.

There’s a lot to like, but where have all the sail

I got this to replace a Quatix 7. The screen is better, the battery life is really good, but selecting various modes is more complex and all the sailing functions seem to have been replaced by diving functions.
As a sailor who doesn’t dive it’s somewhat of a disappointment.

Received this as a Christmas Gift and used this on our voyage to Charleston. Connected flawlessly with my triple marine screens!

Didn't know what I was missing

I have had this watch for about a month and pleasantly surprised! I have had an apple watch for 5 years (an Ultra for the last 3) and just assumed the Garmin watch would be no better. Boy was I wrong! The battery life difference alone is worth the switch. Now I can actually wear the watch while I sleep and get sleep data instead of charging my watch every night. The flashlight - especially the red light feature - is awesome. Finally, the ability to integrate the watch with my marine electronics is the icing on the cake!

Love this

I’ve been wearing this watch for about three weeks. I’m getting to learn it. So many features. I haven’t synced it to my Garmin Boat Electronics. I can’t wait for that. So far so good. Really glad I got this.

Best Watch Ever!

Bought this Garmin watch for myself as an early Christmas gift I've been playing around with it and it does everything that I needed to do for all of my boating needs and for work. Highly recommend for anybody who works in the Marine industry. I test out all of our Garmin stuff that is compatible with the products that we sell and use on our boats. I highly recommend this product!
