Bought this watch a month ago, and it’s been a good month. Slowly getting acclimated to the features, the only points of concern that I would have with this watch would be that it sometimes takes a few more taps to get the screen to turn on that the normal double tap that you might do on a smart phone. (I turned off the “raise to wake” feature because it would turn on too frequently) and then for running you really have to play around with your manually input of your running and walking stride length to be able to get an accurate measurement of distance when you log activities with the watch, since there is no gps. I was using the original Vivoactive before and the extra features such as the golf app were a little hard to get up, but the trade offs getting a fully analogue watch, the sturdiness and heft of the all metal design (premium version) make up for it in spades! I missed having the look and feel of a premium watch to be able to log my activity and since I don’t go overboard on my activity metrics this watch does everything I need it to.

Simple to use.

I got this a wedding gift. I enjoy it for being simple. But there are several things I dislike. I dislike how the wording on the watch is so light that I cannot see it in the sun. The touch screen is not very sensititve so I have to touch it several times for it to work. I do wish the screen was bigger for the touch screen and to see more of the messages. But other than that, it's great. I love all the features. Very smart. I love it tells me how many steps and miles I walked for the day.

Almost perfect

The only missing component is an ability to connect your phone via WiFi. The reason Apple Watch did this, and did it well, is to prevent people from having to drain their phones battery by keeping the Bluetooth ‘on’ all the time. The point of smart watches is to be able to get away from your phone. Distance yourself while still having access to basic functions such as calendar reminders. That said, I hope this is added in the next installment of these watches.

Solid watch

I enjoy my watch so far. Its sharp looking and goes well with my day to day business attire and the straps are easy to change out. I use the silicone band from my older vivomove and it's great at the gym, the pool, and just day to day activities. The data it collects looks to be very accurate and has been great at helping me adjust my daily routines, sleep, exercise and such. The only complaint i have is that the watch hands fall out of sync sometimes. The digital time stays correct but the hands need to be resynced. Its not hard but it's surprised me a few times when i realized i was trusting it and was off by an hour or more.

I love this watch! I love that I get notifications with texts and calls. I use it to track my running and other activities. The only thing I would change is that the range isn’t too great. That’s all Bluetooth devices though. I love this watch! I got the rose gold watch and I would recommend t anyone!!!

Great Watch for keeping Goals!

I've owned smart watches but nothing like this one. It's slim, lightweight and holds you accountable to your goals. It allows you to receive social media alerts, phone call alerts and e mail's. Also syncs to your smart phone and allows you to skip songs. I really love it when I set my goals like steps or heart intensity or steps and feeling my watch vibrate with the message GOAL displayed. Makes me feel like I accomplished my day and gives me that extra push to want to work out! This is a great watch for anyone looking to monitor your goals and I've gotten a lot of compliments on how nice it looks. Thank you Garmin for such a great product.

Works great!

This works perfect as a HR monitor and activity tracker. It’s great for getting notifications of calls, emails and texts without being to connected. The touch screen is slightly combersum to navigate but it’s worth it for how I use the device.
