Great watch, terrible Bluetooth connectivity
on May 7, 2026
Posted by: Mikey K
The watch itself is great but unfortunately the Bluetooth connectivity for music is below satisfactory. This is a common problem if you research the topic. Audio cuts in and out making it very frustrating while running or working out. Garmin needs to address this and fix the issue. Will likely be returning the watch.

Really solid GPS watch!

This is a great product. I like how customizable it is, and how easy it is to navigate on the interface, esp. with just a little practice.
I wish syncing with Spotify was a little faster and more efficient, but overall this is a great way to track hey health metrics and leave the phone behind when going for a run.

I have had this for about 3 weeks and I love it. Easy connect to my iPhone, tracks my sleep, steps and much more! Comfortable and can fit any size wrist.

Good choice

Great health insights. Tracks my hikes including elevation gain / loss. Good investment. I would be happy to pay extra for connect plus nutrition but it currently does not track vitamins and minerals so I'm stuck using my old app. Maybe in the future this will be an option.

Ive had this for about a month and it has done everything ive needed, it’s extremely simple to use, and tracks most workouts pretty well

Amazing Watch

Been about a month and this is an incredible watch. Battery lasts at least a week and charges super quickly. The Functionality and data is great and once you learn to navigate the watch its all very straightforward. Research the best headphones that connect directly to the watch. Apple Airpods connect well but JBLs do not.
