Very chunky. Lot thicker than I would’ve liked. Also issues with the app. Unable to update watch face. By the looks of google forums - lots of people have the same issue.

Very difficult to set up and difficult to find info on features and/or how to change them. For example can't connect texts and it said you needed to set up on app. However when I log onto the app that option is no where to be found.
Great features, without looking like a smartwatch!

I love this watch, it does everything I need it to do, and looks stylish too. I wanted a watch i could wear when exercising but also didnt have to take it off to go to work, or out for a nice event. This watch is perfect for that. I read a lot of reviews before I purchased, and the major drawback appeared to be that the digital watchface was difficult to read in direct sunlight, which I would have to agree with, but also if there is anything I need to look at while out on a sunny run, its very easy to look directly through the app, as the sync is very quick. Its been really excellent, Its full of the features that I wanted like body battery, HR monitoring, sleep and stress tracking. The alerts it has, to move, or breathe are also great! I love this watch, I couldn't recommend it more highly.
I have had this since my birthday, Aug 2020, and whilst it was never perfect, the reactivity of the watch face when I try to use it now is so hit and miss. I often try to tap on 'Activity' and it simply won't react/ work. I am wanting to send it back :-(

My 3rd Garmin watch, so I'm pretty familiar with the functionalities. I upgraded to this as it had Garmin Pay support, only to be disappointed that it only works with _one_ measly bank in Singapore, which just happens to be the one I don't have an account with.

Hi Frank we are sorry hear about your experience, Garmin is adding new banks on a regular basis however it can take time and we do apologize for your experience. Please check the link below for more information.
This was an overall success as a first foray into the world of smart watches, though there are a few things that could be improved. First, the crystal fogs up when exposed to direct sunlight in cool (~50 F degrees) temperatures. This was disconcerting at first, until I realized that the watch was still waterproof, and that the problem would go away in a few minutes. Second, the band does not agree with my wrist skin, and has a bit of an irritating effect, though that also has not become untenable. Third, the complications are a bit oversimplified, for being named complications (!), and could be a bit more information rich, and more variable. And fourth, this color scheme renders the five minute marks nearly indistinguishable from the minute marks. On the plus side, and it's a ton more plus than minus, the watch is highly functional, works well with iOS, and vibrates just vigorously enough. I'm quite glad to have this watch, and to have paid a bit less for it through Expert Voice!
