About my garmin solar
on June 14, 2023
Posted by: Riakos Wajih
I bought it around 2 months ago .
Everything is going perfect except the battery life don't know why I feel its decreasing with time. Having to charge it every 2 or 3 days ,despite that I cancelled all notifications related to my cell connected to it .

Adventure Gear
on June 20, 2023
Posted by: SuperPacificOR
With an active life style and being on a SAR Team, I bought it to be "gear", not just a watch. I had another Garmin, and for a watch with a few extra features, it was good. But it wasn't the adventure watch that I wanted.
The learning curve is steep, but it does more than just tell time and track steeps, so that is expected!

Watch kept losing connection
on June 26, 2023
Posted by: Pjm73
I bought this watch so I wouldn't have to keep charging it all the time. Worked great for about 7 months then wouldn't connect to any mobile device. Tried troubleshooting with Garmin to no avail. Glad I bought a extended warranty because I got nowhere with Garmin.

Not so good
on June 27, 2023
Posted by: Blima
I had a first one that needed to be changed by warranty (outstanding job) because it just stopped to work. The new one still has some problems: seconds stop showing and the heart rate it is not accurate. I still use it, but I will not buy another one until the quality gets better

Another tech device with an Achilles heel battery.

Was extremely happy with my Garmin SOLAR until it started shutting off automatically. Apparently the battery fails after 2 years or so. What a waste of $$

A tough and capable watch!
on June 28, 2023
Posted by: Joe!
One month in and love it so far. My job puts a lot of wear and tear on my clothes and that includes this watch. It stands up to job, even when my hands are bruised and bloody. We'll see just how much it can take over the next year or so. I use this watch to count my steps, calories, time my runs, track workouts, measure my sleep cycles, hydration, weather, and curated phone alerts. That might be about half of what it's capable of doing.
