Excellent watch, looking forward to using it more. My only concern is how accurate the step and calorie measurements are they seem to be a bit "optimistic".

The watch is great, with simple to use smart screen showing your choice of notifications, can read emails (lots of swiping but surprisingly useful), actual clock hands showing the time to ensure battery life, step count and heart rate monitor. Great overall but there are only 2 things that is is sorely missing. 1. Only measures calories (most of the world has gone metric and needs the info in kilojoules) 2. Doesn't connect to Google fit.
Would recommend but would really like these last 2 features (come on guys, it's software updates only!)

Glad to hear you are enjoying the device overall. On the calorie measurement your suggestion has been heard and we have passed this along accordingly. While we can't guarantee any future changes will be made in regards to this, the appropriate parties will review this request. Also I do apologize for the inconvenience however that Google fit is not a service that we are currently compatible with at this time.

I got it for Christmas and and it has a white band. It seems it only comes in small/medium. I keep looking online for another one but I can’t find one in colors that I like in a large. I’m still trying to figure out all the features. I like it besides the fit.

Sorry to hear about your experience with the device. If you can get it fully charged and connected to your computer you a can use Garmin Express to ensure that the software is up to date. I have listed some links below to assist you. Also if you need further assistance you can contact us from those pages as well.
I asked for a Garmin for Christmas because my daughter recommended it over the Fossil Smartwatch. The messages are blurred and I have trouble reading it even when I used my reading glasses. Have not used much of the features because I haven't had time to figure out the app.

Sorry to hear that you are having issues like that, if the screen is blurred I would encourage you to contact us at our support site listed below for help with the device.
I have wanted a smart watch, but one that looked like an actual watch, and classy. This is it! I received compliments the first day I wore it. So glad I waited unti I found this one!! I’m still learning how to use it, but I bought it more for the fitness part. I have it paired to my other apps, and everything was easy to do.
