Returned….could not use
on December 19, 2023
Posted by: Trpa
I tried to figure this watch out for 2 weeks before returning it. Between my husband and I, we spent many hours. He is an engineer and I am a PHD….we are usually good at these things. We watched you tube videos, read the manual. Not intuitive or user friendly at all

So Far a 5 Star

There are so much features. Too overwhelming to learn at once. I'll learn as I need.:) my only issue so is the display. It's hard to read sometimes, but then again, I don't think I'd get 21dats of battery life if it was super bright and brilliant

I have had this about 3 weeks to a month and only thing is it doesn't seem to do any better with the solar charge than my old Garmin, Still need to charge at least once a week

Flexible Activity/GPS watch
on November 30, 2023
Posted by: Fish38
I bought this as a replacement for another watch with a dead battery. The former watch had a good visible color display in daylight. I wasn't sure how the monochrome display would compare but it is very visible in daylight. We are at a point of the year where I can't comment on solar charging but without a lot of daylight activities the battery is only losing about 6% a day with the watch face I have selected. I love the flexibility of the watch. I wish you could select different watch faces in sleep mode as I typically just need a good visible time. That is a minor complaint.

Great watch and perfect size!
on November 29, 2023

Been wearing the watch a couple weeks now--they sent me a larger band free of charge since it seems that they think if you order the small 40mm size you are a girl or just have small wrists--I like smaller watches as big ones get in my way when I'm working out. Watch seems mostly fully customizable and battery lasting about 10 days --excited that i can track my wind foil and surf rides now!

Excellent piece of gear!

The knowledge you gain from the biometric data this watch generates about how your body is functioning will add years to your life if you have the discipline to better your health! At age 61, I only wish I had been wearing this watch for the past 10 years....

Very helpful watch features, amazing navigation for those who venture deep in the backcountry, easy to use!! Sturdy and impossible to bang up so far. Awesome mountain biking dynamics and more tailored to your sports. Truly the best watch I have ever had!
