All I need

I had a Forerunner 45s and really only used for running, replaced because the battery life was so short, this is much better!

Complicated for my needs and Garmin Connect is bad
on May 21, 2024
Posted by: MikeN2
I bought it one month ago to replace my Forerunner 15 which no longer communicates with my desktop to capture run/bike workouts. It has a lot more functions making it complicated to use (I recently found out how to do lap times) and much more expensive. Still looking for the recovery feature that my old Timex Ironman had... measuring the drop in heart rate after completing run measured after 30 or 60 seconds. Garmin Connect was freezing, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, was prompted to update and I updated, then prompted to update again, after all that I got to log back in and now (finally) working.

I don't like it
on June 2, 2024
Posted by: Boomchicaboomboom
This was my first Garmin watch and I do not like how it operates. It is not intuitive and got stalled for over 2 hrs in discharging mode when I tried to delete data. Sending this watch back.

Interesting Features!
on June 2, 2024
Posted by: Farzin2000
I use this smartwatch while swimming. Its quality and features are fantastic and definitely worth the price. I also use Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Once it is dead, I plan to buy another Garmin which would be more expensive and have even better quality for everyday use.

Went back to Fitbit

I wanted it to check my pace and ordered it for Mother’s Day. It’s so hard to use. Not at all intuitive. I’m a doctor so smart enough and I can’t figure out how to use it. It shouldn’t be this hard. I should be able to slap it on and go.

just Ok

Don’t really like the button layout. Don’t really like the app’ - menus within menus, different menus for watch and app. Not very user friendly.
