I am unable to figure out how to make it so I can actually see the time. It is very dim.

Great entry level garmin watch

Lot to offer for beginner friendly watch that will do heart rate (wrist) and pace/distance/calories/time and notifications. The battery life might be a issue for some but I can get through a couple training days before having to charge.

Not happy

I’ve already replaced it once because the screen went blank and it didn’t work. They sent me a new one and I feel like the gps is slow and the features are different.

It’s always worked and the battery life is so long which is great if you run everyday

I can't figure out how to use it. Can't get it to set to English. Can't set it to get heart rate.

Not intuitive to use

I’ve been struggling to program this device since I took it out of the box. From the minute I turned it on, the first widget that constantly came up was the one to monitor my menstrual cycle. Every time. #1 - I don’t HAVE a menstrual cycle, #2 - I purchased it specifically to link with a non-Garmin Heart Rate Monitor. It took 2 days of fiddling to get it linked. Finally was able to find the correct widget on the watch. Now that it’s linked, the HR display is so small I cannot see it when I want to check it while I’m moving. If the ambient light is poor I can’t read the watch face at all and the light function is insignificant enough to not make a difference. Additionally, when I CAN see it, it keeps unlinking from the HRM. I plan on tinkering with the watch a little more, and if I can’t discover a larger display option for the Heart Rate widget, I’m returning it.
It’s not a great device for me.
