This wasn’t my first garmin but I’m finding it so hard to use. I had practiced starting to record on a saved trail for my big race and then thought I started and hit play and somehow failed to record my race. I had to go by my heart rate because I had no idea what distance I had gone.
I have had this watch for about 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it! I have had the Venu 3S, Venu 4, and the Forerunner 965 and this watch is by far the best one that I have had. It looks great on my wrist and it has all the features of all the watches I had combined into 1.
I’m extremely happy with my new watch. I’ve never had such a high tech watch before so I’m definitely easily impressed. I decided to upgrade from a FitBit Versa 4 to this and OMG I’ve been blown out of the water by the features and apps available. The maps and built in GPS alone are a huge selling point. I love that it has a built in flash light and the battery life is great. With my setup it’s lasting me about 9-10 days before I need to recharge. There’s a lot of activities that this can track. Like A LOT. It also has some more interesting features like it can track weather, incoming storms, moon phases, and even tide charts. I’m still learning and figuring out all of the details and features but so far I’m super happy with everything available. Literally my only concern would be that the voice commands can be tricky. The watch seems to only react to certain phrases. Like I have to say “show contacts” and then select a contact to call. I can’t simply say “call Jacob”. You also can’t text back from the watch unless you have an android and use their app. iMessage isn’t supported. It will show you incoming texts though.
I've had this watch for about 3 weeks. So far I've really enjoyed having it. It really does track everything! I bought it because I wanted to get into running more in addition to weight lifting. I was worried that it wouldn't be comfortable to sleep in, but it is. No issues with it.
